Overall Satisfaction with SAP HANA
We have several systems used by subsidiaries, and the whole company uses HANA. They use it mainly for financial functions (so it's used only by financial departments) but in some cases, sales and real estate also uses it to manage properties.
- Performance in batch processing. We have reduced the time it takes by half. Before we had trouble finishing our batch jobs before 8 a.m., and with HANA, we finish at 6 a.m.
- Reduced DB space. We use about 50% less of DB space in HANA than we did in Oracle Database.
- Queries using a large amount of data are much quicker than before when we used Oracle Database. Some of them we spent hours executing, and now you only need a few minutes to have data.
- Security. It is hard to define user security. There are not tools to easily control security.
- Memory usage must be more efficient. HANA, by itself, needs so much memory to work, in some instances with 128 GB memory.
- Infrastructure cost increase.
- More efficient work with big data.
I had Oracle Database before I migrated to HANA. With Oracle, I had performance problems, especially in massive processes and in batch processes with a large amount of data to manage. With HANA, all this has improved substantially, practically without having to touch any code.
