SAP HANA Cloud

Avantages

1. Extremely good in performance and query management.
2. Highly scalable with ease of user management and accessibility.
3. Can be easily configured and manageable dashboard.
4. Easy and quick deployment.

Inconvénients

AI needs to be introduced to make process much quicker and smarter.

Avantages

I love that this software easily interfaces with Tableau, Excel, etc. We deal with hundreds of thousands of lines of data so it is important to be able to interface with other applications.

Inconvénients

Sometimes the connection between SAP Hana and our other applications becomes unstable so we have downtime where we can't use it.

Avantages

SAP HANA Cloud has honestly been instrumental for my day-to-day job. From a data management perspective, it does its job really well. Accessing data can be streamline into several different applications I have accessible.

Inconvénients

The UI and process is a bit outdated and could use some modernization. But can't get upset because if it's not broken then don't need to fix it. Just something to be aware of.

Avantages

The reporting functionality seems powerful, but very hard to get quality data into the system to report.

Inconvénients

Not a single screen I have come across from purchaings, to time sheeting to project management (EPPM) can be navigated or used without specialist training. It is completely unintuitive to use, with standard OK or Cancel buttons randomly appearing in different locations, no limits to the size of drop boxes, obscure acronyms and crazy numbering systems with alpha numeric codes often having 3, 4,5 or 6 zeros in the middle and no two codes will have the same length - some are 9-digit, some 6 and some are 5-digit.

Avantages

Able to track career development, access organization chart, apply for internal job postings and track hours worked and vacations.

Inconvénients

Nothing to dislike. It is a one stop shop for everything work and HR-related.

Avantages

key things are Parallel processing, flexibility and easy monitoring

Inconvénients

customization options compared to ERP and compatibility issue with old systems

Avantages

The fact we can do so much with one product really helps eliminate the need for multiple logins and duties when it's a one stop shop.

Inconvénients

There is nothing I have encountered that I would say detracts from the product.

Avantages

Ability to integrate easily with other SAP products. Minimal on-premise infrastructure required. Multiple hosting possibilities.

Inconvénients

Learning curve - not as intuative as I expected. Requires good master data management solution to fully understand the data.

Avantages

I like SAP HANA Cloud for its high performance, real-time data processing, and scalability.

Inconvénients

SAP HANA Cloud can be complex to set up and manage, with a steep learning curve.

Avantages

This buids better applications for data management.

Inconvénients

Costly and expensive for building small applications.

Avantages

Performance of query is solid when dealing with large datasets. The integration with other SAP tools is easy and straightfoward. Scaling options are fine for workloads in our entreprise

Inconvénients

Cost is high for what you get and the user interface feels old. Documentation hard to get through, it takes too long to find out things.

Avantages

software is very user friendly once you get used to using application

Inconvénients

Initial difficulty when application was initially downloaded

Avantages

Combines high-performance data processing with the flexibility of the cloud. The ability to handle real-time analytics, manage large volumes of data, and provide seamless integration with other SAP solutions is a game changer.

Inconvénients

complexity of its pricing model. It can be a bit tricky to understand and predict costs, especially for businesses that are just getting started or don't have a dedicated team managing cloud expenses.

Avantages

Wealth of features, plenty to use and grow into.

Inconvénients

Complex, lots of learning required to manage.

Avantages

Es agradable hasta para las personas que tienen poca experiencia con sistemas de base de datos, fue muy fácil de aprender y utilizar.

Inconvénients

Algunas funciones son bastante limitadas y no te dejan adaptarla a la empresa, pero en lo demás está bien.

Avantages

Having the ability to restore data if deleted by mistake.

Inconvénients

Bit of a learning curve for anyone who is not aware of it.

Avantages

As a SAP Consultant, I have had the opportunity to work with various database options. In the SAP ecosystem, the two major database options for SAP ERP's are Microsoft SQL server and SAP HANA. My opinion is, Microsoft SQL server has nothing on SAP HANA. SAP HANA is an in memory database, a feature that makes it very fast and gives it ability to support multitudes of data without slowing down the system.When it comes to Data analysis options, SAP HANA is way much better that Microsoft SQL. It gives you the ability to view your data summary in dashboards and KPIs, helping you makes better decisions in a timely fashion. Searching within a SAP HANA database is google like, helping you find the much needed information very quickly.SAP HANA Cloud can be integrated with Excel so data can be pulled from the database and viewed in Excel to make further analysis to the data, considering that most users are more familiar with Excel.

Inconvénients

SAP HANA is expensive and has a steep learning curve to successfully implement and manage. It is therefore not a viable option for smaller companies.

Avantages

in-memory computing, advanced analytics, yes it is easy to use

Inconvénients

SAP HANA cloud include its complexity, cost, and need for specialized skill to manage and maintain

Avantages

This Database can handles massive data with very ease and it's very user friendly and easy to implement .

Inconvénients

Some inbuilt windows function can be added and more nodes can be given in default so that the no code approach can be more acheviable .

Avantages

I like that HANA is very easy to use for navigation or development purposes alike. HANA allows for the creation of materialized views which speeds up performance a LOT

Inconvénients

In some cases, literally if you don't have a materialized view it's impossible to preview a model without it taking over 10+ mins to query on ONE single object. The issue is that, materialized views are a transaction and cost storage. To me, MVs shouldn't have to cost extra.

Avantages

The gui has received major updates and makes it a visual treat to use
Faster data access using improved database structuring improves overall user experience

Inconvénients

Needs to check on reducing overall product costs
Developer function should be further improved so that users can get a better leverage on the product and reform the application for individual product use basis application

Avantages

It has a learning curve from an ABAP developer standpoint, but once you know your way around them it is a very powerful tool. The introduction of CDS and its execution within HANA will allow you to create complex data models easily and the extraction of the data is lightning fast compared to previous iterations of the SAP application that used other databases.

Also, using it on cloud will make it easier to work with the database as you don't have to worry about the high end hardware requirements.

Inconvénients

I don't have any complains about the performance from S/4, but I've heard colleagues mention that analytics don't always perform as promised/expected.

Avantages

With SAP HANA we are moving to the future of our company switching from the previous version SAP ECC. This new system has improved from the last version specially when reporting. Becuase all fields are indexed, extracting info and running reports are really fast and some fixing in the security side has solved problems of roles and object we had before.

Inconvénients

The Business partner transaction "BP" is something I still don't understand its reasoning. The complications of having customer, suppliers, employees, contacts, etc in one single transaction has complicated things for us but I guess is just matter of getting acquainted to it.

Avantages

The application is very flexible and easy to use. The data security is amazing. Data accessibility processing is very convenient as well. My experience with reporting is also satisfactory.

Inconvénients

The application is very expensive. The integration process is also very time consuming. The licensing is also super expensive.

Avantages

On premise integration with SAP cloud for customers with minimal effort. Easily available blob storage.

Inconvénients

Requires complex queries to fetch the data stored as blob.
