There is often confusion between the database and product suite bearing the same name.

Support Rating

Overall, it works as expected and delivers the value promised. SAP's application tools using HANA are still evolving. Training and learning still present a barrier to utilization

Digital core for SAP applications, especially working with larger databases, is a good fit for HANA.
However, there are specialized suites available that may be more suitable for some applications because they include a good application package.
