We performed a comparison between Hortonworks Data Platform and SAP HANA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Hadoop solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Now, using this solution, it is much cheaper to have all of the data available for searching, not in real-time, but whenever there is a pending request."
"Hortonworks should not be expensive at all to those looking into using it."
"The upgrades and patches must come from Hortonworks."
"Ranger for security; with Ranger we can manager user’s permissions/access controls very easily."
"We use it for data science activities."
"The data platform is pretty neat. The workflow is also really good."
"It is a scalable platform."
"Distributed computing, secure containerization, and governance capabilities are the most valuable features."
"We have found that the Fiori Apps are particularly good."
"The product handles high volumes very well and provides good integration."
"Eases management of databases."
"The main feature is that the processes are very flexible, they are able to be adapted to the business and their departments."
"When we upgraded, we received more functions or more features."
"The solution is easy to manage enterprise resources and the reporting and analytics are including. It is good for company growth and all module are managed well."
"The solution is very stable."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Deleting any service requires a lot of clean up, unlike Cloudera."
"The version control of the software is also an issue."
"Security and workload management need improvement."
"I would like to see more support for containers such as Docker and OpenShift."
"The cost of the solution is high and there is room for improvement."
"It's at end of life and no longer will there be improvements."
"I work a lot with banking, IT and communications customers. Hortonworks must improve or must upgrade their services for these sectors."
"Since Cloudera acquired HDP, it's been bundled with CBH and HDP. However, the biggest challenge is cloud storage integration with Azure, GCP, and AWS."
"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."
"SAP HANA's long run time to extract data could be improved upon."
"HANA could be improved by adding analytics and development models in the institution."
"I'd just like to see some more improvements done on the training, both on the functional training and technical training sides as a part of the complete solution."
"The pricing could be better."
"The interface is a little bit hard to customize. You almost have to consult the SAP original developer to change it."
"I would like to see improvements in the connectivity of the solution with other BI software. Not every software can connect to it natively."
"They can improve their technology for the CRM subsystem. There are other products that are better and more effective for the CRM subsystem. Its price could be better. It is expensive."
