"Blazing Fast Performance and Effortless Integration"
5/5
What do you like best about SAP HANA Cloud?

What I appreciate most is the impressive speed and seamless integration. Because it operates as an in-memory database, I can run extremely heavy SQL queries during regression testing and receive results almost instantly. This level of performance is essential when I’m conducting load tests with 50 concurrent queries, as I need to quickly determine if the new model is slower before deployment. The straightforward connectivity is another significant advantage. I connect my Python scripts using a standard JDBC driver, and it works smoothly without any complications. I rely on it every time a build runs in Jenkins, and it consistently manages the traffic without issues. Being able to bypass the application layer and validate data directly at the database source gives me much greater confidence in the results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP HANA Cloud?

I don't have any major complaints because the performance is excellent. However, if I had to mention something, it would be that the pricing model can be a bit confusing. Since we rely on it for intensive regression testing, I need to monitor compute usage closely, especially during large load tests, as consumption can sometimes become quite high. Additionally, setting up a dedicated database user and configuring all the necessary security measures can be somewhat complex at first, even though I use the CLI to script the process. It's definitely more involved than simply launching a basic Postgres database, there's an SAP learning curve to consider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about SAP HANA Cloud?

I absolutely love SAP HANA Cloud’s exceptional in-memory performance, which enhances our data processing speed and efficiency by storing and processing data directly in memory. This capability allows complex analytical queries and aggregations to run in real-time, drastically reducing latency for dashboards and analytics, especially within SAP Analytics Cloud. I also appreciate the platform for effortlessly handling large-scale data processing while maintaining speed and reliability. The seamless integration with SAP BTP and SAP Analytics Cloud simplifies creating end-to-end data-driven solutions. Moreover, the platform’s robust security features, including advanced encryption and access controls, make it ideal for handling enterprise and regulated workloads. The data federation and smart data integration capabilities are particularly valuable as they allow us to access and analyze data from multiple sources without physical replication, all while leveraging HANA’s in-memory speed. Additionally, the multi-tier storage efficiently optimizes performance and cost by placing frequently accessed data in-memory and less critical data on disk. Lastly, the initial setup of SAP HANA Cloud was straightforward and well-guided through the SAP BTP cockpit, ensuring a smooth onboarding experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP HANA Cloud?

SAP HANA Cloud is extremely powerful but a few areas could be improved to enhance the overall experience. Cost visibility during auto-scaling can be more transparent, especially when workloads fluctuate dynamically. The developer tooling and CLI need to be simplified, and there should be deeper real-time monitoring and resource metrics available without depending on external tools. Additionally, while it integrates seamlessly with SAP systems, integration with third-party systems needs enhancement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

These features collectively make SAP HANA Cloud valuable to my operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP HANA Cloud?

While SAP HANA Cloud offers significant benefits, there are notable areas for improvement. The high cost is a significant deterrent, especially for startups or enterprises at the initial setup stage, making it less accessible for smaller companies. The system is complex, particularly when integrating non-SAP systems, which poses a substantial challenge. Additionally, SAP HANA Cloud's customization capabilities are limited, restricting users from adapting the system fully to their specific needs. The initial setup can quickly become complex and challenging when integrating with existing systems, especially in preparing for full production use. Data migration is a major hurdle, requiring extensive planning, data quality assessment, and careful cleansing to ensure consistency in the new system. The skills gap is another issue, as the functionality of SAP HANA Cloud requires finding or training internal resources, which is a significant difficulty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
