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.

"SAP HANA's most valuable features are monitoring, reporting, and price and stock control."
"I think the in-memory database is excellent as it boosts performance."
"It's easy to use, and the Hana Studio is pretty good."
"The user interface is very good. You can do any kind of reporting analytics from the platform."
"The most valuable feature of SAP HANA is the interaction it provides with external suppliers and clients."
"We are using the solution for the DW system. The primary function of the solution is for the database in memory."
"Migration from Oracle to Tibero is very easy and it took us about ten minutes."
"The most valuable feature is compatibility with the Oracle database."
"Tibero has the mission to deliver reliable performance with a lower ownership cost."
"Tibero is a relational database management system, which supports disaster recovery, active cluster, active storage, etc."
"Tibero is very easy to setup and maintain."
"Tibero uses Hyper-Threading architecture, which is incredibly fast."
"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."
 

Cons

"SAP HANA is a very proprietary tool and there's not as much support available for it as there is for an SQL Server (which is more popular)."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The interface is a little bit hard to customize. You almost have to consult the SAP original developer to change it."
"The solution is very expensive, however. The pricing depends on the number of users and many other factors that affect licensing."
"The price is high and could be a bit cheaper."
"While SAP HANA is good, it would be better if it comes at a more affordable price."
"I would like more technical documentation. I would like it to be easier to find online help or have a better launch-based service. SAP has a lot of functions, so we need more best practices and more detailed documentation on industry solutions. For example, it would be good to have documentation on why a certain process needs to be set up and which kinds of configurations need to be set up."
"The user experience should be better. Its user interface is not good. I also don't like the transition concept."
"The knowledge base is quite small and should be expanded."
"Manual installation is a bit tricky, but one can get used to it."
"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."

"SAP HANA is an expensive product."
