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

"The most valuable features I have found are speed, dashboard, and reporting."
"Anyone currently using SAP will be transitioning to HANA."
"Our operations have grown from a hundred data operations a day to as many in a couple of seconds."
"The key value is that we can get more tenders because of the lower cost while giving a better product or service, and this is possible only because of our use of SAP HANA."
"It's sufficed all of our requirements. We primarily needed it to run SAP applications, like NetWeaver or S/4HANA, and it has been really good at that."
"It's user-friendly so long as you use it frequently."
"One feature I find very valuable, is the response time of the application on the database memory."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Tibero is very easy to setup and maintain."
"Tibero is a relational database management system, which supports disaster recovery, active cluster, active storage, etc."
"A huge benefit of Tibero is its licensing costs are low."
"It is incredibly fast, much faster than Oracle in terms of compiling and processing speeds, very reliable and secure, never crashes or gets overloaded, the true data never gets falsified or corrupted, it is very easy to port your projects over, and it is considerably cheaper than any other software on the market."
"The most valuable feature is compatibility with the Oracle database."
"Migration from Oracle to Tibero is very easy and it took us about ten minutes."
"Tibero uses Hyper-Threading architecture, which is incredibly fast."
"Tibero has the mission to deliver reliable performance with a lower ownership cost."
 

Cons

"The user interface and CRM need to be more user-friendly, it's abnormally painful."
"Technical support should be more customer-friendly."
"The JDBC connectors are very slow."
"I cannot recommend this product to users. I feel that SAP's approach of mandating customers to go with SAP HANA is not a good point; they should make SAP HANA so good that customers willingly choose it."
"The only downside of the product is that it is an expensive solution that needs to consider lowering its prices to improve the product."
"There's an issue in the partition. When you record more than two million records, partitioning does not work well. In Oracle it's easy. SAP must resolve this issue in order to be more competitive with Oracle."
"The interface is a little bit hard to customize. You almost have to consult the SAP original developer to change it."
"While new users to this solution have the benefit of the new design, existing ERP users may experience issues with migrating legacy data. We would like to see development of ready-made tools that allow for easy mapping when upgrading."
"Manual installation is a bit tricky, but one can get used to it."
"The knowledge base is quite small and should be expanded."
"There could be more user friendly FAQs online and included in the software."
"In PL/SQL code, there is a scope of improvement. We expect more PL/SQL packages should be included in the next release."
