Overall Satisfaction with SAP HANA

We’re using SAP HANA as a database for a custom web app. The application performs thousands of calculations per day, all requiring some level of database query. We needed a fast, reliable database for this application.
  • Great documentation
  • Large community
  • Easy integration
  • Cost
  • Limited compatibility
  • Processing speed for core application calculations
  • Scalability of application due to increased performance
We were using PostgreSQL prior to SAP HANA. The biggest difference that is noticed from an end-user standpoint is the speed with which database transactions take place. Because of the growing scale of our application, we really needed something faster. PostgreSQL just wasn’t cutting it. Glad we gave SAP HANA a shot!

Support has been quick and helpful so far. Great community as well.

SAP HANA processes large amounts of data very efficiently and very quickly. It allows for parallel processing, which speeds up everything you are trying to do while interacting with the database. If planning to connect to an ERP system, beware, as there may be some compatibility issues that require some architecture changes. Depending on the scale of your systems, this may or may not be problematic, but something to keep in mind.
