Cloud access has improved reporting and sales operations across global locations
I cannot say anything about what areas of SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud could be improved or enhanced because so far, we are happy with this implementation. We are not facing any problem, or I cannot say that this can be improved. Although SAP keeps improving themselves day by day, we cannot say that SAP needs to improve anything. One thing which we face, not as a problem, is the pricing. SAP pricing is a bit higher day by day. Before, it was not too much higher, but I don't know why they are increasing their price. They should see this thing, so other customers, such as SMBs customers or small and mid-sized customers, can also avail this thing. Otherwise, we don't have any problem. First, there is the limitation. If you are a SAP user, you don't feel any problem with the limitation because if you know how to use the product, you can easily implement this thing. Otherwise, if you don't know the business process or how to integrate and implement, it could be a problem. We have a limitation, but we developed some add-ons for this. So we fulfilled these requirements.

Improves efficiencies, has encryption, and great mission-critical customer support
Previously we had an amateur solution where we were managing on our own data center but we had the management in-house. It was a strategic move to give people who were more competent and with business focus other core initiatives. It was a strategic outsource model. The equipment we were using was out date and at the end of its life cycle, we had to make some transitions, do a hardware replacement, or move on. We moved on to this solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is virtual modeling, which is beneficial because you don't really save the data multiple times the way we did in the past."
"One of the features that I've found most useful is that it's very simple; they take care of the technical aspects of the data, installations, patches and all those things, and I don't need to set up my data center."
"What I like the most is that we can convert databases into a proper multi-dimensional model, and then we can project with the integration with Power BI."
"The solution is online and provides a real-time information feature, which makes a huge difference to the business, especially in reviews and meetings."
"In SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, HANA has the best performance for hosting the data warehouse and analytics solution mainly, and this is the good feature in it."
"If a customer is looking for the latest innovations or products from SAP this solution is perfect for them."
"Now, with the cloud, we can move anywhere in the world and we can easily access it from SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, and even the client can also see the stock availability which they need to order."
"We are very happy with this solution, and the processes and the way we take advantage and use assistance are good."
"The solution has encryption which we did not have before."
"Once we made the move to this solution, we received efficiencies, 100%, 200%, even up to 1000%, depending on some processes."
 

Cons

"The main thing is that SAP needs to give better response times for support tickets."
"SAP support isn't on par with products like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It's nowhere close to the competitors."
"The solution is scalable from an infrastructure point of view. However, it becomes more complex over time because technology is changing so fast."
"The only thing that could be improved is the cost."
"It needs improvement in terms of stability and performance."
"Perhaps minor changes to the enterprise structure could be made, but the rest is fine."
"The product must provide more details of the errors."
"The SAP products are complicated to deploy anywhere."
"Our account representative was inexperienced, they could improve on how they are managing accounts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product itself is relatively expensive."
"I rate the product's price a five out of ten."
"The pricing is reasonable when compared to other vendors like Oracle who offer technology enterprise resource software."
"It's very, very expensive."
"SAP may not be the most cost-effective option, but it does offer a comprehensive set of tools and features. When you have the right information, structure, and dashboard in place, it can provide excellent value. Additionally, competition with Oracle might be a factor to consider."
"The solution could be less expensive."
"The price is expensive compared to the competition."
"The licensing of the solution is on a yearly basis. The normal price of the solution is quite high, but I received a special discount by making a purchase near the end of the year."
"The solution is a bit expensive, we are still negotiating the price."
