Overall Satisfaction with SAP HANA

SAP HANA solves our performance issues coupled with S/4HANA. It is used
in our whole organization (70000 people in 50 countries). All business
transactions are actually using SAP HANA, at least for most of our
countries.

We also use a secondary SAP HAHA
Database to consolidate data and use it for our
business intelligence reports.
  • Performance
  • Size
  • Accuracy
  • Increased Performance
  • OLAP and OLTP at the same time
  • Very expensive
SAP HANA is better integrated with S/4HANA (we did not have any choice). It can only be run using a HANA Database.
On some topics. Embedded Analytics for instance, it is very difficult to find experts. The documentation of Hana modelling is not up to date. Some normal SQL operators are not available on HANA for example. It was hard to find this information on the web.

But we have not contact the SAP HANA support that much

Do you think SAP HANA Cloud delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with SAP HANA Cloud's feature set?

Yes

Did SAP HANA Cloud live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of SAP HANA Cloud go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy SAP HANA Cloud again?

Yes

SAP HANA is perfect for my company. However for BI scenarios, it's a bit more complicated as the OLAP and OLTP engine is not fast. We are also having a lot of trouble with the CPU usage of the database. The integrated scenarios are ok, they are easily escalated into a productive solution.
