Featured Reviews

Saikat Nag - PeerSpot reviewer
Oracle Application Database Administrator at RP Sanjiv Goenka Group
Manages extensive utility billing applications efficiently with trusted performance and robust support
Currently, I have a very good experience with Oracle Multitenant. The pluggable database is easy to handle and manage, sharing resources efficiently. However, Oracle license pricing is an issue due to its high cost. Our organization is compelled to reduce CPU usage by seventy CPUs because the Oracle license cost depends on it.
Bassem Mohammed - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Application Manager at TBTD
Integrated business processes have improved real-time analytics and financial performance
Whether I or my customers utilize SAP HANA's real-time analytics depends on the data needed to be displayed, and then choosing how to transfer the data to the analytic object, data source, or database to be displayed in the reports. It may be near real-time, real-time, or running batch every day. There are tools for integration between third-party systems, such as OData or APIs from SAP to get in or push data to other systems. Support for both structured and unstructured data helps organizations unify data sources depending on the needed data to be displayed. There are many ways to store it for report displays, but structured data will be better than unstructured data.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's a really great new option for Database 12c, with huge potential because it allows a container database to hold many pluggable databases."
"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."
"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."
"The database becomes pluggable. Inside this container is called a pluggable database and each application contains this pluggable database inside Multitenant. We can then share resources like control files, memory, etc. This lets you stop and start each application without impacting the others. This resource sharing is the most valuable feature"
"This solution is scalable. This is a good product for consolidation purposes."
"Oracle is a more automated database."
"In the past it would take about five hours for us, on a weekly basis, to clone one database or one environment, and now it takes less than two hours, saving a lot of time over the weekends."
"This solution did improve my organization, as we had some changes to better our organization, especially in the procurement process."
"It's user-friendly so long as you use it frequently."
"The feature that I like the most is that we can transport the data to our web data application. SAP HANA's performance is really perfect. We're working on big data, and SAP HANA is really working on high performance. We are happy working with it."
"In comparison with other DMS solutions, it offers good performance."
"The most valuable feature of SAP HANA is its performance and integration."
"We can save data very easily."
"Provides us with predictive capabilities for asset maintenance, and real-time forecasts."
"This is a feature-rich product and I like all of them."
 

Cons

"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."
"Stability and full feature coverage will come with future release."
"From the scope of improvement, I would say that people are adopting new query options. Certain databases like MongoDB adopt new query options so that they can just pull the data."
"That said, Oracle in general doesn't invest in their UI for any of their applications. If we're talking about the dashboard or other user experience, there is room for improvement. I'm talking about on premises. The cloud version has started to improve."
"It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it."
"The user interface for this solution can be made better."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"There are many functions where changes are not easy to implement, and we try to avoid modifying these areas due to security issues and the complexity of maintaining them."
"SAP HANA is not perfect and they could improve by having more options and more integration."
"There is room for improvement in the deployment process as it takes much time and is time-consuming and complex."
"There are a few areas wherein there could be a patch upgrade, and that can cover up the country-specific payroll areas."
"The worst thing about SAP HANA is the price; it's very expensive. The licensing cost, implementation cost, hosting cost, and appliance cost are all high."
"We have not really received any technical support from SAP HANA. I think that's also one thing that maybe SAP would be most helpful, especially if we encounter several errors during installation."
"Technical support should be more customer-friendly."
"I give the scalability of SAP HANA a six out of ten."
"Technical support has been more helpful than before but still need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is a little bit pricey."
"For me, I will go with it if I have the budget. Some features are nicer than before, but at the end of the day, you always have a limited budget. I prefer to upgrade and get a specific hardware when possible. At the end, you will have to make a compromise. You will not get everything you would have liked to have."
"The price is worth the quality."
"The licensing could improve."
"The solution's license is very expensive so I rate pricing a one out of ten."
"SAP HANA is affordable. I rate it a seven out of ten."
"The tool is expensive compared to other products, like Oracle R or Microsoft, but it offers a range of all the company's functions."
"The licensing cost for SAP HANA is approximately $200 per user per month."
"The tool has a high price. I rate the solution’s pricing, one on a scale of ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap."
"The pricing is relatively high for both customers and partners."
"The price is on the expensive side, at eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
