Browser-based SQL access has streamlined team collaboration but still needs faster queries and better ML integration
CloudBeaver AWS can be improved because in rendering of the queries, if it is very complex or big, the responses in the browser get slowed down. Compared to DBeaver of desktop, it is noticeably very slower on the browser of AWS and heavy data engineering can be done, but it will have very slow responses configured altogether. That needs to be maintained. Even there is no connectivity of machine learning, MLflow kind of thing where Airflow or PySpark approaches can be integrated. Python pipelines can be created but the whole end-to-end machine learning pipeline gets stuck whenever we work out with DBeaver. That again is one of the issues that I would look out for to improve. Also, I need to maintain the infrastructure perfectly here. I need to manage it and need to identify the risks as well. The whole proper setup of VPCs or IAMs needs to be done. It is not a NLQ kind of thing. User queries need to be configured in manual approaches, not automated currently. It should be automated now. Debugging is very painful. That again is a vague approach here. Errors can be executed and we will not be getting out the clarity as well. During this whole approach, the logs are not perfect and intuitive and debugging is also very limited. The user interface and documentation look good, but I would still suggest improvements.

Performs well with high database and reporting performance
We face difficulties replicating the AC DOCA table, which is a huge table, from S/4HANA to SAP HANA BAS, Business Application Studio, or HANA Studio using SLT. For developing Power BI reports using the AC DOCA table, we are replicating full data daily. We want to implement delta load, and while we used OData service for one client, the delta OData service link is not properly updating delta records. Licensing costs with SAP HANA are very high. Due to high pricing, many clients are moving from BW on SAP HANA and S/4HANA to Azure SQL. I have worked with several clients who have moved all data flows to Azure and developed Power BI queries on top of Azure. Many clients are also using Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The certification costs are also very high, more than ₹1,40,000 INR. Previously, it was ₹30,000 to ₹40,000. I want to pursue three certifications but am unable to do so due to the cost.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CloudBeaver AWS has positively impacted our organization in terms of productivity and value addition by reducing the burden of connecting to the database."
"Since using CloudBeaver AWS, my organization has experienced many positive outcomes."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It usually takes around eight months but it depends on a customer's requirements. We can spend a month or two customizing."
"The best feature of SAP HANA is column computing. The computing speed of the solution is also very high, so developers can easily develop programs through SAP HANA."
"We've had good experiences with technical support."
"Anyone currently using SAP will be transitioning to HANA."
"SAP HANA is a cost-saving solution that helps save money and serves as a time-saving solution that helps save time."
"It's stable and reliable."
"What I like best about SAP HANA is that it's faster than Microsoft SQL Server."
"We like that the product is both vertically and horizontally scalable, allowing us to do around 86 percent compression of documentation from 50 to seven terabytes."
 

Cons

"While CloudBeaver AWS meets most of our needs, there are a few areas where it could be improved."
"CloudBeaver AWS can be improved because in rendering of the queries, if it is very complex or big, the responses in the browser get slowed down; compared to DBeaver of desktop, it is noticeably very slower on the browser of AWS and heavy data engineering can be done, but it will have very slow responses configured altogether."
"SAP HANA isn't user-friendly, and it's very hard to train newcomers to use it."
"In my limited experience using SAP, the process of granting access to different modules is difficult. Specifically, the requirement to assign roles and key codes to users rather than being able to assign them individually made the process more complex. It would be beneficial if there was a way to assign key codes separately, rather than having to create multiple roles. This would make managing access easier."
"If the developers were to enhance or improve the application logic while processing the transactions, that would be great."
"HANA could be improved by adding analytics and development models in the institution."
"Technical support should be more customer-friendly."
"The price is high and could be a bit cheaper."
"What needs improvement in SAP HANA is its automation, in particular, it needs more enhancements in that area."
"In practice, SAP HANA is very powerful, but I see areas where it could be improved to make life easier for users and teams, such as having too many Fiori apps with overlapping functionality, navigation not being intuitive for finance users, and users still needing to switch between Fiori and SAP GUI."
