SAP HANA Cloud Platform Review

PROS: Because this software is basically an In-memory database, it excels in analytics activities that require heavy workloads and many use cases. Aside from the main function, it also comes with excellent auxiliary features like Fuzzy Search and Predictive Analytics.

CONS: What I dislike most about HANA is its pricing which is in my opinion, quite high. Not to mention that maintenance can be troublesome if not planned carefully. My other complaints are that the configuration options are semi code-based instead of being fully- and that the SDK support is underwhelming at this point.

PROS: It's a good investment in the long-run since it greatly reduces financial risk and helps keep capital cost loss at a minimum. It's also very comfortable to use from the admin side.

CONS: Nothing major. A little downside perhaps is that the administrative part is out of our grip since it's handled by the vendor.

PROS: I like a lot of things from HEC like its user interface, its fast performance, its cost efficiency, flexibility, as well as scalability.

CONS: While the user interface is good enough for me, it has still room for improvement.

PROS: Compared to all the similar tools I've used, this one is by far the best for managing and processing data when it comes to speed, efficiency, and price.

CONS: With that said, however, SAP HEC is still pretty expensive.

PROS: It is comfortable and easy to use. We've also just experienced a few hiccups along the way such as downtime but the customer support is excellent.

CONS: It's very much dependent on the SAP platform which sometimes means that customers without an account there has to wait for a long time before getting the services they want. It would be nice to have an urgent mode or other features that will improve the program's modification flexibility.

PROS: It's better than the previous system we use in terms of performance and user interface.

CONS: Nothing since I"m satisfied with the product so far.

PROS: The features I find the most useful are the updated tables, Adobe forms, and the credit management function.

CONS: While it's good that they keep updating the software by improving its technical performance and adding new features, the UI could really use a bump. It's just not user-friendly sometimes like the BP transaction screen for instance.

PROS: I like the tool overall but one of my favorite features is its ability to help with predictive analysis which is critical for targeted market strategy and budget planning. The data visualization tool is also not picky when it comes to data sources because the program is compatible with Power BI, Tableau, SAP BOBJ, Lumira Discovery, and more.

CONS: If you want to view live data, SAP HANA has to materialize the required data first which takes some time because the memory consumption for that process is pretty heavy.

PROS: This is the best database for working viewing live data and generating relevant reports.

CONS: I still prefer a GUI-based interface because it's more intuitive to work with so I can perform more operations there.

PROS: This database's reporting feature is top-notch.

CONS: There is this upload option, Flatfile, that isn't as good as the others since you have to operate it manually.

PROS: I like how there's no need to download anything to set up the software. Everything can be done via the web cloud.

CONS: If anything, I'd say that having too many features somewhat adds to a detrimental experience for a business insider like me. Too many attractive things do not help me focus on the work I need to do.

PROS: It's fast to deploy and cheaper than other solutions. The support is excellent too.

CONS: HANA is limited to the cloud and therefore does not possess the benefits of SaaS or hybrid integration.

PROS: The best aspect of SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud for me is its internationalization. It supports multi-lingual use and its presence in multiple locations around the globe is useful for us. It's also highly scalable.

CONS: The worst aspects of the program are its unintuitive user interface and its incompatibility with other software like Oracle.

PROS: For a database, it works fast and works well with our organization.

CONS: It's not compatible with tools from other vendors or companies like Microsoft and Oracle.
