Kevin Shah - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Data Scientist at Evolvision Technologies
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.

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

"My environment looks very fruitful when I look for an ideal solution for teams or organizations."
"Since using CloudBeaver AWS, my organization has experienced many positive outcomes."
"CloudBeaver AWS has proven itself as a cost-effective, scalable, and collaborative platform for database management in the cloud."
"CloudBeaver AWS has positively impacted my organization mainly by improving debugging speed, team collaboration, and operational efficiency."
"CloudBeaver AWS's interactive dashboards contribute to our organization's data analysis needs, and I find it really good."
"CloudBeaver AWS has positively impacted our organization in terms of productivity and value addition by reducing the burden of connecting to the database."
"CloudBeaver AWS has impacted us positively in multiple ways."
"CloudBeaver AWS has positively impacted my organization as it reduces our mean time to resolution when verifying data discrepancies."
"Its in-memory capabilities are good, which is why many companies still use it."
"We have found the solution to be customizable and it is beneficial it comes as a bundled package, and additionally, it is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of SAP HANA is the interaction it provides with external suppliers and clients."
"The solution has been good in our use case; everything has been operating well."
"The product's initial setup phase was really easy."
"When we upgraded, we received more functions or more features."
"The most value for us was in terms of using it to issue tenders online. We host our server, but it is open to the public, so clients who want to buy those tenders were able to go online, put their tender documents up, and we could evaluate them using SAP."
"The initial setup is straightforward; it usually takes around eight months but it depends on a customer's requirements, and we can spend a month or two customizing."
 

Cons

"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."
"In terms of drawbacks, CloudBeaver AWS's cloud instances are slower than what local solutions provide. Debugging is not smooth or effective compared to what other databases provide."
"While CloudBeaver AWS meets most of our needs, there are a few areas where it could be improved."
"CloudBeaver AWS could be better if the official documentation were not sometimes too high-level."
"CloudBeaver's web interface slows down or freezes when handling complex queries, for example, with large PL/pgSQL statements or large complex CTEs that can reach 500 lines of queries."
"CloudBeaver AWS already covers most core database management needs very well, but a few improvements could make it even better for teams working with real-time systems and cloud monitoring."
"The performance of CloudBeaver AWS can sometimes lag when making connections."
"The user experience should be better. Its user interface is not good. I also don't like the transition concept."
"If the developers were to enhance or improve the application logic while processing the transactions, that would be great."
"I think that the pricing is high and it needs improvement."
"The relationship with a partner that sells SAP could be better. We depend much more on our own development, and the partner is for selling us the solutions, so we need them to be able to supply help and answers. The partner isn't very helpful, and we have to rely on our own knowledge and research."
"The price of the solution could be reduced, it is expensive."
"A documents preview could be helpful."
"They should develop and improve the solution's data management system."
"The deployment of SAP HANA is far too complicated and takes far too long. The typical implementation time is between six months and two years."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There is a yearly subscription to use SAP HANA. There is a fee for maintenance."
"Setup and licensing require planning and proper budgeting, as it is not cheap."
"The price is on the expensive side, at eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"The price of SAP HANA is very expensive and it is paid annually."
"Its licensing is expensive for SMEs and large enterprises alike."
"SAP HANA is very expensive here in China. My company bought the SAP ERP suite, which includes SAP HANA. For others who use SAP HANA as an analytical database, CPU numbers will affect the pricing, so as a solution, it's costly."
"The licensing cost for SAP HANA is approximately $200 per user per month."
"I would rate the pricing of the solution a ten on ten. The pricing for on-prem SAP HANA is on a yearly basis and expensive. I am not aware of the actual pricing but it is based on 64 Gigabytes. For instance, if you consider $10,000 for 64 Gigabytes, then you can calculate the cost for Terabytes in case you have one. You will have to buy expensive hardware as well which is quite a lot."
