Overall Satisfaction with SAP HANA

SAP HANA is used extensively in my organization. Starting from S/4HANA as EPR and BW/4HANA as Reporting and SAC (SAP Analytics on Cloud) for Dashboarding. This is solving all day-to-day operations starting from Order to Cash, Procurement to Delivery, Financial closing - AP/AR. Moreover, it is also helping us to managing our HR operations, their salaries, etc.
  • In-memory computation - resolve all slow performance issues to great extent.
  • Column storage - reduce memory footprint and cost of hardware.
  • Agile and quick development reduced development efforts significantly.
  • Connectivity with SAP and non-SAP systems - helped to get all data under one umbrella for consolidated reporting.
  • Currently Enterprise HANA gets data via table replication through SLT. There is no provision to use the function module which is part of S/4HANA in Enterprise HANA. Looking for functionality wherein we can call these function modules in Enterprise HANA and fetch relevant data.
  • There is no further release of HANA live views from SAP side. There are certain areas where we have to build HANA views from the start. Having more HANA live views will help us to speed up the development.
  • Adding debugging functionality.
  • Very positive. Especially on finance monthly and yearly closing. Gone are the days when we used to take 2-3 days for month's closing. Now with the power of SAP HANA we get all closing done in 3-4 hours. Saved time, effort and money.
SAP Analytics or cloud is much more advanced with having the capability of predictive planning and BI.
Every time whenever I raise OSS message, I get response from SAP on time with the right resolution.

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

Yes

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

Yes

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

Yes

Did implementation of SAP HANA Cloud go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy SAP HANA Cloud again?

Yes

Suitable on all places where we have organized and structured data mainly from SAP sources. Less appropriate wherein the data is unstructured one and data volume is too high. Rather to load this data directly in SAP HANA, first make it structured and then store meaningful data for better insight.
