It’s great to run mission-critical operations in real-time from anywhere, introduce new business models within the industry, and expand globally with a trusted partner. It is a cloud-native platform that reduces the complexity of multi-cloud or hybrid system landscapes.
  • It provides a single place to access, store, and process all enterprise data in real time
  • This platform encompasses database and data management, analytics, application development, and integration, as well as intelligent technologies.
  • With SAP HANA Cloud, you don't have to worry about managing hardware, operating systems, backups, and other types of maintenance. All of this is taken care of by SAP.
  • Pricing could be better for small enterprises.
  • Address the cost of migration of data to the cloud.
  • Making certain features simpler to use.
SAP HANA Cloud is deployable on-premises, in a public or private cloud, and in hybrid scenarios. This database is suited for advanced analytical and transactional work with a variety of data types.

The SAP HANA Cloud was primarily utilized by us for asset management, where we managed financial data from many lines of business in a single platform. My experience with the product has been outstanding; in comparison to its rivals in the market, the UI performs quickly. Our main challenge was gathering every piece of asset-related data from several locations; today, we can obtain everything through a single site.
  • Easy to use
  • Integration
  • Secure
  • No previews
  • On the expensive side
It's a good idea whenever there are several plant locations involved and they want to use one application, one application, or many users. Additionally, it would be advantageous and economical if management wanted to see reporting from all plants. I believe it to be less appropriate for small-scale applications where we can host applications on-premise there.

We are using SAP in our lotus group including 2 plant and 1 head office so I'm user of production server. We have have found some lengthy proceed at the time of batched released. If you are simply the short cut then it will be helpful for us. Overall I'm enjoying a lot to work in SAP .
  • Data exicution
  • Seed
  • Updation
  • Simplicity
  • Before implementation of SAP need to train all user is mendatory.
  • User feedback is most user than claint feedback in the term of improvement
  • Need video guidance manual of each category
Best part is SAP HANA is most data execution efficiency. Having simple concept and use but when SAP is talking about improvement need to collect feedback from user rather than client. Provide video FAQ for all basic problems that are faced by user. Overall SAP is the best software that I used ever.

In my organization I use SAP HANA Cloud as a single database foundation for modern apps and analytics across all enterprise data. I also use it to build intelligent data applications with cloud-native scalability, speed, and perfomance. It provides us with trusted, business-ready information from a single solution while enabling security, privacy and anonymization with proven end-to-end reliability.
The support is very user-friendly and proactive available in live chat or through call or email.
  • SAP HANA Cloud delivers transaction and analytics simultaneously without data duplication.
  • Helps us to develop smart applications with embedded ML and analyze sensitive data while protecting our privacy.
  • Great and unparalleled support system.
  • Helps us to manage data more efficiently with integrated multi-tier storage.
  • There is a bit of a learning curve.
  • The price is not so frustrating but not friendly to small businesses enterprises.
This tool provides faster access to data, consumption-based pricing, elastic scale, and fully managed solution to reduce maintenance. I love how proactive the support team is, there is no longer waiting for response they solve all the challenges fast and convenient. I also like how this tool is quick to build and run high-performance transactional apps and real-time analytics at petabyte scale. Saves time and cost.

Thinking about what SAP HANA Cloud can bring to us compared to on-prem deployment
  • connectivity to other cloud applications
  • no hardware maintenance anymore
  • one throat to choke
  • pricing transparancy
  • on-prem private cloud variant
  • openness to other service providers
agility is not really needed for a static thing like a HANA DB
scaling is often easier with on-prem solutions

We use SAP HANA Cloud as our enterprise data warehouse. This is replacing the older on-premise HANA edition. it's acting as a data foundation to supply spotfire. basically they use it to add consolidate,hamronize and add the business semantics. then the business will import it into spotifre and model further on it, combining it with other sources.
  • Central code repository
  • using best practice tools
  • providing the latest modeling technologies
  • integrating with GIT
  • containerized setup.
  • Row level security between containers
  • Better integration of the Planviz within BAS
  • More guidance in containerizing your legacy schema/container structures.
  • out of the box version control tool (git hub) in which we can see a visual representation of the visual HANA objects (e.g. HANA views are hard to assess in the github)
  • the ability to visualize dependencies between containers (lineage)
It's great that we now have a separate code repository with a clear revision history and approval structures, this thrives the teams to setup a clear peer review structure. what is another good example is that now with the containerized setup you take away the long chain of dependencies that might have surfaced in a on-premise scenario where you have several layers that have been implemented. Now you just need to make sure that accountability/governance per container is arranged so impact is not to be checked by activating every single view that is just consuming.

I just used for my own learning to up-skill myself. I liked many features of it .
  • performance
  • less administrative efforts
  • provisioning
  • multi tenancy
  • some of on-prem features are not yet available
we can provision it on our own.. like CPU , memory size. we can also connect to on-prem and get the data. it is still not good for critical applications.

I consult organizations about using S4 Hana and use it for demonstration purposes. The product really helps companies to gain insights about what's happening and get better control over decision-making. Specific modules are used, like finance, procurement, sales, production, and project management, and the solution becomes the single source of truth for the management.
  • Analytics
  • Ease of use.
  • Better control over processes.
  • It can be used in any device and anywhere in the world.
  • Cover more industry vertical.
  • Open integration with 3rd party apps.
  • More knowledge base availability.

For the logistic use case, we have used Hana; we thought to use the cloud so that other branch data would also be stored centrally and would get one common report from the cloud. Also no on-premise server cost; all management will take it by themselves, which makes it easy to manage. Good tool.
  • Service
  • Storage
  • Reporting
  • Cost
  • Recurring cost.
  • Speed
Wherever multiple plant locations are involved and want to use one application, one application, or many users, then it is good. Also, if management wanted to see reporting of all plants, then it's good and cost-effective. If for small-scale applications where we can host applications on-premise there, I find it not appropriate.

My client is Honeywell aerospace. Before HANA cloud was introduced, we were not able to pull open order reports if two people were in the same order. Now HANA made it easy to pull the report, and it is fast. I would suggest adding more options to pull reports using the cloud.
  • User friendly.
  • Reliability
  • Accessibility
  • User friendly.
  • Comfort
It is user-friendly and easy to pull a report and update the status. focusing on your unique situation will help others evaluating SAP HANA cloud best decide whether it's right for them. the. We can work on our comfort and it is relatively reliable to use. It is also fast and can be used everywhere.

It stores data in its memory which makes data processing and management really easy. Data stored in HANA Cloud is accessible from anywhere in the world. I think the Cloud platform is the most popular platform in the enterprise segment. It comes with many features, including the data security it offers.
  • SAP HANA Cloud can help drive data analytics, data migration, and data management exceptionally well.
  • It offers an integration service that lets you integrate data and processes with 3rd party app or any other cloud app.
  • In-memory capability helps in faster data processing.
  • Integration service offers 3rd party app integration, which is really cool, but it is time-consuming and not easy to integrate.
It helped me in managing Master data management (MDM) for a supply chain work. The integration to the 3rd party app was really challenging and time taking, but it was worth the waiting. You can host huge data volumes and access them in real-time; that's the beauty of SAP HANA Cloud.

My organization is using it as a database as a service for mission-critical applications and real-time analytics. SAP HANA Cloud provides us with a single place to store, access, and process enterprise data in real-time. Using SAP HANA Cloud to consume the SAP HANA database from applications running on SAP technology platforms and from applications running on-premise or other cloud services. Using datalake, an SAP HANA component to manage the huge volumes of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data.
  • SAP HANA Cloud provides cloud central to easily create and manage SAP HANA database.
  • It provides single place to store, access, and process huge data in real-time.
  • Allows to apply advanced analytics with ease
  • Protects confidential and sensitive data
  • Can scale easily to match system load
  • Pricing is bit on higher side compared to competitors but it's worth paying for given the number of features provided by SAP HANA Cloud
  • It will be good if SAP HANA Cloud provides ability to keep snapshots during deployments
  • SAP business application studio UI experience could be improved
  • Job schedular could help getting rid of manual work.
Best suited for - Accessing huge amounts of structured or unstructured data. Accessing real-time data. Less appropriate for cases - Not worth the effort to implement if the data isn't huge, access to data is not needed in real-time, or where data analytics is not needed.

SAP HANA Cloud is an intelligent enterprise, and it is an innovation for the future dynamics of the line of business and technology. Soon SAP ECC will retire, and SAP HANA Cloud will accelerate across all verticals and will be a leader in the ERP market. It has suited small to larger business enterprises, and the fit-to-standard process has closed the gap between AS IS vs.TO BE process.

The majority of our customers use SAP HANA Cloud in their projects, and the deployment option is one of the best ones I've seen so far. SAP HANA Cloud offers a lot of flexibility and a good user experience, but the biggest problem is that consultants don't get enough exposure, which leads to a lot of problems.
  • SAP HANA makes report creation quick and simple.
  • No scaling problems.
  • Due to the in-memory database, data processing takes substantially less time than with conventional systems.
  • It would be nice if there was a simple method to incorporate other non-SAP apps.
  • Except for the integration of non-native programs, everything functions well.
It has been a smooth experience for me over my more than four years of utilizing SAP HANA Cloud. Data may be easily stored, accessed, and processed thanks to the program. The simplicity of scalability, adaptability, and agility, which are in line with corporate growth objectives, are what distinguish this platform from others. It is a powerful platform that is great for commercial use.
