Featured Reviews

Saikat Nag - PeerSpot reviewer
Oracle Application Database Administrator at RP Sanjiv Goenka Group
Manages extensive utility billing applications efficiently with trusted performance and robust support
Currently, I have a very good experience with Oracle Multitenant. The pluggable database is easy to handle and manage, sharing resources efficiently. However, Oracle license pricing is an issue due to its high cost. Our organization is compelled to reduce CPU usage by seventy CPUs because the Oracle license cost depends on it.
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

"Our primary use of Oracle includes writing queries for retrieving data for customers without worrying about the customer ID, user ID, as it is automatically connected to each query."
"The cloning features are outstanding."
"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"Oracle is a more automated database."
"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."
"As far as this product is concerned, we are happy with this product."
"This solution is scalable. This is a good product for consolidation purposes."
"The analytics tool, Oracle Analytics Server (OAS), is the main important component of this solution and in the analytics part, the VPD handles all the necessary functions effectively."
"If you want to scale with new processes and new reports, that's fairly easy."
"SAP HANA has everything, and that is the advantage of SAP because you can get everything in one suite, whatever you need for your company."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility and the integration with other solutions in data quality."
"We have found that the Fiori Apps are particularly good."
"It's made everything faster."
"When we upgraded, we received more functions or more features."
"The most valuable SAP HANA features are that, compared to Oracle, there is less administrative work and less complex work to handle, making it very straightforward."
"Implementing SAP HANA offers financial benefits to the organization."
 

Cons

"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it."
"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."
"Oracle license pricing is an issue due to its high cost. Our organization is compelled to reduce CPU usage by seventy CPUs because the Oracle license cost depends on it."
"Technical support could be faster."
"Oracle Support is relatively unprepared for this. It has improved, but it still has a lot of room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"From the scope of improvement, I would say that people are adopting new query options. Certain databases like MongoDB adopt new query options so that they can just pull the data."
"Ease of use could be improved in SAP HANA. I like SAP because SAP solutions can be used by anyone, which means even laymen can start working on SAP tools, but in SAP HANA modeling, you'll need to know some other technologies and sequel scripting, and you need a separate skillset, so if you don't have the skillset, you won't be able to work on SAP HANA. Making SAP HANA low-code would make it even better."
"The product lacks some flexibility in its settings and configurations."
"The setup process and deployment process for SAP HANA is complex."
"The initial setup of SAP HANA is quite difficult as it has a steep learning curve."
"The performance and integration with other products are areas in need of improvement."
"Technical support could be better."
"The price of the solution could be reduced, it is expensive."
"SAP HANA is not perfect and they could improve by having more options and more integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For me, I will go with it if I have the budget. Some features are nicer than before, but at the end of the day, you always have a limited budget. I prefer to upgrade and get a specific hardware when possible. At the end, you will have to make a compromise. You will not get everything you would have liked to have."
"The price is worth the quality."
"This solution is a little bit pricey."
"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."
"A monthly or yearly license must be purchased, although its utility will be based on the cost-benefit analysis that is reached by the individual customer."
"While the cost of the license may seem high, it is important to note that the benefits of the solution far outweighs the cost."
"There is a yearly subscription to use SAP HANA. There is a fee for maintenance."
"The cost of SAP HANA is high, and I would rate the price at eight out of ten."
"SAP HANA is expensive, but unfortunately, we do not have any alternatives."
"The tool has a high price. I rate the solution’s pricing, one on a scale of ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap."
"The solution's license is very expensive so I rate pricing a one out of ten."
