BI manager at Clarivate
Has successfully supported tenant data separation and enabled strong analytics capabilities
We use VPD, Virtual Private Database, for the multitenancy. We are selling products and using Oracle Multitenant for tenants, for building the product for our customers. We have many customers, actually thousands, and the main objective is to separate data from one customer to another The…
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

"With the right configurations, you can maintain an environment without retaining the risk of losing any kind of data."
"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"The ability to create multiple databases without using any additional memory and CPU, and reallocating resources among these databases as needed, dynamically, without restarting."
"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. Our clients are mostly medium and enterprise businesses."
"As far as this product is concerned, we are happy with this product."
"There are only benefits to using this solution."
"The cloning features are outstanding."
"Oracle is a more automated database."
"The data storage requirement is reduced from the original database to the HANA database."
"SAP HANA is vertically and horizontally scalable."
"It's one of the best databases in the world."
"The performance is very, very good; it's one of the best aspects of the solution, and we find SAP to be very fast, much faster than Oracle."
"Some functions have good performance."
"The solution is extremely stable; there is no downtime, the performance is very good, and you can upgrade and upscale without any downtime as well."
"We appreciate that the current, redesigned version of this solution that is much more straightforward for new users, and has been well thought out with industry best practice standards in mind."
"Provides us with predictive capabilities for asset maintenance, and real-time forecasts."
 

Cons

"It needs to have some more granular control over IO resource allocation."
"That said, Oracle in general doesn't invest in their UI for any of their applications. If we're talking about the dashboard or other user experience, there is room for improvement. I'm talking about on premises. The cloud version has started to improve."
"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."
"The only issue is that shared files for the main container affect all container databases if something happens to them."
"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"I would rate technical support at Oracle a three out of five. They're good, but not good always."
"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."
"Oracle has a lot of work to do with Multitenant because it's a new feature."
"Needs graphical programming without coding."
"The initial setup was pretty complex, considering the enormous amount of data they had from an Oracle ERP."
"The openness of the system could be more developed. The solution should go into the cloud. The cloud mechanism should be more invested."
"Unlike other databases, it lacks management features that legacy databases like Oracle or SQL servers have. They need to make the solution easier to manage and offer tools that make management more effective. A lot of things you have on traditional databases you have to develop into HANA."
"The worst thing about SAP HANA is the price; it's very expensive. The licensing cost, implementation cost, hosting cost, and appliance cost are all high."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the deployment process as it takes much time and is time-consuming and complex."
"The pricing could be better. Finding the solution or adding some additional features that are customized for what we need is difficult."
 

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."
"This solution is a little bit pricey."
"The price is worth the quality."
"The price of licensing is dependent on the size of the project, however, we have found that there is scope to negotiate the cost. If the solution is implemented on-premises there may be some extra costs for hosting etc."
"The tool is expensive compared to other products, like Oracle R or Microsoft, but it offers a range of all the company's functions."
"It is expensive."
"Its licensing is expensive for SMEs and large enterprises alike."
"The price is on the expensive side, at eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"The pricing for SAP HANA is high. You pay a lot for the license, and you also have to pay for some add-ons."
"Setup and licensing require planning and proper budgeting, as it is not cheap."
"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."
