Overall Satisfaction with SAP HANA

SAP HANA is being used as a DB; basically S/4 HANA has HANA as the database. The data memory footprint has reduced considerably due to the columnar storage feature; also the power of in-memory computing has helped optimize performance and slow data fetch issues. This has helped improve overall productivity and efficiency.

Pros

  • Great calculation speeds utilizing the power of in-memory computing.
  • Reducing memory footprint and hence reducing hardware costs.
  • Real-time reporting capabilities.

Cons

  • Improve Web IDE HANA version and make all features available on HANA Web IDE.
  • Cost incentives to increase adoption; currently not everyone with SAP can afford HANA.
  • Better developer experience.
  • Processing times have reduced drastically.
  • Real-time reporting without the use of running batch jobs is great to have.
  • Memory footprint reduction has reduced hardware costs.
  • The initial cost is high and hence to reap the benefits it will take time.
  • Version Management and Support can be optimized and stabilized further.
- SAP HANA has much better performance as it offers the power of in-memory computing.
- SAP HANA is very well suited for analytics and data warehousing; we also have SAP BW on HANA.
- MySQL is not suited for data warehousing and analytics; doesn't offer the power of in-memory computing like SAP HANA.
Since SAP HANA is backed by SAP; we have a lot of documentation available for SAP HANA which keeps on updating consistently as per the newest releases. Also, the SAP Community is a place where a lot of blogs are available for SAP HANA and its new features. The support provided by SAP through their Launchpad Support Portal is also helpful for any issues that may arise while using HANA.

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?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy SAP HANA Cloud again?

Yes

SAP HANA is recommended for organizations which process a huge amount of transactional data on a day-to-day basis and require real-time reporting on the go. If the data footprint is large and processing time required is less, then HANA is the answer. It is not recommended for organizations which do not have a huge data footprint as investing in HANA would not reap benefits for them.
