Overall Satisfaction with SAP HANA Cloud
We use SAP HANA Cloud as a hybrid data foundation to federate data between our on-premise SAP S/4HANA systems
Pros
- Virtualizes data from multiple sources without requiring physical replication costs.
- Delivers sub-second query responses on massive datasets using in-memory computing
- Processes spatial, graph, and relational data natively in one engine.
Cons
- Licensing models are complex and result in high operational costs.
- Steep learning curve
- Migration of legacy code
- Enabled instant real-time data analysis.
- Reduced legacy system maintenance costs.
- High licensing fees strained budget
Evaluated for its separation of compute and storage and lower entry cost, but it lacked the native understanding of complex SAP ERP semantics (ABAP logic) without extensive data reconstruction
