SAP HANA Cloud

Overall Satisfaction with SAP HANA Cloud

As an SAP native HANA developer, I'm using SAP HANA Cloud to develop, run and maintain our team's solutions for the Supply chain stakeholders. Our main focus lies in creating business value through insights gained by means of developing advanced Analytic Apps.
  • Fast reliable query engine for big data
  • BAS: advanced development environment based on MS visual studio
  • BAS extension graphical modeler
  • Open source based development tools (VS code / Node.js / Python / extensions)
  • Support CLI with direct Kernel access to the cloud workspace
  • GIT engine integrated for advanced code management
  • BAS graphical modeler, more options like the predecessor in Eclipse
  • Option to use the BAS editor offline
  • More options for monitoring system resources: CPU, Memory and connection pool
  • Better cockpit interface to accommodate job scheduling/monitoring
  • Simplified landscape architecture
  • Less support needed (FTE) compared to on-premise
  • Increased ROI by build-in easy-of-use integration capabilities
SAP HANA Cloud allows for more advanced custom developments compared to comparable solutions build in the Business Warehouse. SAP BW, on the other hand, still has far more build in tools, like system monitoring, delta loading, advanced scheduling, and other data loading techniques.
Through our support teams, incidents are raised to SAP, and depending on the priority, they are handled by SAP support at a rate that is acceptable.
