SAP HANA Cloud

Overall Satisfaction with SAP HANA Cloud

We are using HANA Cloud in AI Material Search solution

Pros

  • SDA connection to On-premises db
  • supports connection from multiple subaccounts
  • connection from on-premises to HC is easy

Cons

  • access from other global account
  • after activating HC service, it starts billing even though we didn't load any data
  • it will be better if we can connect from HANA studio
  • we used for btp usage app and results are promising
  • we are using for material search application
  • Cost is little bit high
connecting to and from on-premises systems is easy
speed wise its way faster than postgres and integration and UI for doing some db operations are out of box, there is no need of any client tools

Evaluating SAP HANA Cloud and Competitors

  • Cloud Solutions
  • Scalability
  • Ease of Use
SAP suggested to use SAP HANA cloud for Material search functionality as it's easy to use to connect to backend systems using cloud connector and from backend using secondary DB connection. And we are already familiar with on-premises database, so managing this instance eassy
other than estimated size and cost, we will choose HANA cloud as it can be shared across multiple sub accounts and applications and easy to administer
