SAP HANA pros and cons

When we upgraded, we received more functions or more features.

The solution offers advanced features that the company was struggling to implement.

SAP HANA's interface is pretty user-friendly.

Eases management of databases.

The solution is easy to scale.

The solution is very stable.

The speed at which it gets the data is great.

SAP HANA is one of the best databases known for its performance...The new version of the solution is stable.

As I only worked part-time on SAP HANA, I did not have the opportunity to explore the advanced features of the solution. However, I did work with basic features, such as user administration and access controls for the accounting department. The feature that stood out to me the most was the Single Sign-On and user administration, backup, and server management. My experience with SAP HANA was mainly focused on basic server improvements.

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.

The pricing could be better.

A documents preview could be helpful.

SAP HANA's long run time to extract data could be improved upon.

The user interface and CRM need to be more user-friendly.

Technical support could be better.

The initial setup was pretty complex, considering the enormous amount of data they had from an Oracle ERP.

More standards would help in the future.

The solution's development platform should be more flexible and scalable to adapt to other solutions.

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.

It would be nice to know when SAP plans to stop its maintenance of a previous version of SAP ECC ERP because, at this point, anyone utilizing SAP will have no choice but to go on S/4HANA Database.
