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.

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.

SAP Hana allows you to drill down into the data and get really granular by going to the individual transactions. Interfacing with Tableau and Excel gives you the ability to take the data and create some visualizations that can tell a story to leadership and decision makers.

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.

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

It offers best report a big plus, user can play with data to generate required report in several way. User can use up to 6 screens keeping login to account to check relevant items.

Customization of application is very limited and organisation which need some step to perform in bulk can not do this.

it was a good software as it give clear picture of everything by just sitting in front of your computer/laptop.You don't need to ask call or run anywhere. system will tell you correct and exact picture of everything.

Data management is prefect for this software.Easy to access.This is also flexible as it can be customized as per the requirement/need of user.

T-codes are difficult to remember.The screen get cut whne not touched for few minutes so in case if any report is running in backend and if you do not download within few mins it will get cut and again you have tp start the process of downloading it.

Overall this software has been a good option for the company running on SAP ERP. The process of loading the data to warehouse has been faster in HANA cloud than other tools

The best thing about this application is it is on the cloud, which has saved a big in maintenance costs. The Data extraction of the data for reporting from this application is very fast.

Compared to other competitor tools like Azure or Snowflake. This seems to be little expensive. The only least thing about the software

SAP has always been good when trying to emulate your needs as a company to an ERP. All the configuration, Z programs and setups are so broad that you can practically do anything with SAP, but switching to HANA was mostly to take advantage of it's new database and the cloud option.

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.

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.

Overall a great application. I use it mainly for supply chain management. It took time for integration but the waiting paid off. My system is much more streamlined from previous. If you need swift data processing this is the best tool.

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.

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

Good, reliable platform

- It's a good data management platform - easy to integrate with upstream and downstream systems -secure and reliable - works well for big companies

- configuration has some limitations when to try to configure it for multiple business units - transactions volume impacts on performance - can be costly for small and mid size businesses

I work with SAP HANA on the daily in order to perform ad hoc investigations and it works perfectly. All our data sources, schemas, models, and repositories are there. Plus it's integrated with our SAP business operations.

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

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.

Parallel database processing with graphs and spatial processing and having responsive web applications are the best features... Robust security and disaster recovery which I have heard is also important for everyone.

It does not run with ERP software, only goes with SAP products. And to do that SAP Integration Suite might be needed.

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

Requires complex queries to fetch the data stored as blob.

My Overall experience with SAP HANA us very good interms of implementation , functionality , Data handling , Transport , user friendly UI , Strong database , multi core multiprocessor. This is a good software for companies looking for.

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

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 .

This product is incredibly comprehensive i.e. contains modules that is capable of developing platforms for management of everything company related from attendance, training, payment to warehouse and inventory management.

This software or modules can be overwhelming to use for newcomers and relies heavily on the lan/internet connection.

You may link a variety of data sources to SAPA HANA Cloud for real-time analytics.

Quicker global access to DB and network, resulting in faster business transactions simple to handle and maintain

Having a client, suppliers, staff and connections all in one transaction is tough for me to manage effectively.

Has overall improved user efficiency as data access speed has improved and unwanted features have been removed and the ui has overall recieved a graphical cleanup helping the users take more informed decisions

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

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
