Also, my offerings as a consultant covers a broad spectrum of business issues. I can assist companies in raising sales, cutting expenses, and enhancing productivity. I can also assist companies in increasing client loyalty and satisfaction. My use case is wide-ranging and applicable to numerous companies and sectors. I can be used to create brand new goods or services, enhance already existing ones or provide solutions for particular business issues.
  • Real-time reporting and analytics on data: because of its in-memory architecture, it is perfect for businesses that need to make quick decisions based on current information.
  • Managing workload with complex data: it can handle a vast range of data types, including relational, documental, geospatial, graph, vector, and time series data.
  • Developing and deploying intelligent data applications: it provides various tools for such applications and can be used for machine learning and artificial intelligence to automate tasks, gain insights from data, and make predictions.
  • This should be made more user-friendly by, for instance, employing more visual elements, streamlining the menu structure, and offering more context-sensitive help.
  • Businesses could more effectively match the platform to their specific processes and needs if they could customize the dashboards, reports, and workflows.
  • Improving integration capabilities would allow businesses to seamlessly connect SAP HANA CLOUD with their existing IT Landscape.

We have moved all our SAP portfolio to Cloud in one go. We had some initial hiccups but nothing serious. We have chosen private cloud due to compliance and data security in our industry.
  • Same user experience for laptop or any other mobile device.
  • Approval from executives have become very easy. They can also view details.
  • Fiori apps are helping productivity and user acceptability
  • Too many licenses to handle
  • Cash management and Treasury products need different licence
  • More clarity on Margin analysis
  • Transfer pricing solution could further improve
It fits with our Cloud first strategy. If company wants to avail the latest developments and functions, then SAP HANA Cloud is the best option.

The majority of the business problems will be on performance issues of that particular application; as a basic consultant, I will validate the performance and take action according to that, like is there any way to tweak the code or need to improve the server capacity, something like that.
  • In memory database support both row and column store.
  • Performance
  • Database availability.
  • SAP HA cluster environment has room for improvement.
  • HANA startup for large systems.
Definitely, I will recommend moving away from other DB to SAP HANA Cloud for sure to get the world-class application experience.

I admired the multitasking (parallel processing) feature and the option to customize the working environment for different countries' regulations. In my experience the best ERP software, I have seen. It has a good UI and easily accessible options. Also, I would like to say little bit more costly than other ERP software, it's functions and other features are worth every single penny we spent.
  • Realtime data replication
  • Column and Row data input & processing
  • Multitasking
  • Very limited hardware comparability
  • Initial booting time is quite longer
  • Bit improvement need in the UX part
SAP HANA Cloud is best for Tax billing and advanced invoice generation and also, many features which is related to the report generation are available with in a window. I would like to recommend SAP HANA Cloud for Accounting and compliance activities. Whereas except the bit costlier fact it is all good at it's functionality. UX user experience is not user friendly.

We were able to transfer or process data faster as a result we were viewing good results back .<br>As we we are dealing with large volumes of data . After adopting SAP HANA we are able to deliver the response in record faster time.When testing SAP HANA application we are able tomock with large data . This way in real time we are encountering less errors or exception. Because we have identified them in early stage. <br>We are able to encourage our existing clients/customers to integrate their existing applications and manage their databases .
  • stores large data
  • Speed ups processing
  • Capable of handling high transactions
  • supports Analytics
  • Cost can be decreased
  • Compatibility can be increased
If you feel your business is going to have transactions in large amount. This is more suitable for handling big data in the right way.

We used SAP Hana Cloud to help consolidate many data sources and perform ETL processes. In addition, we used it as a repository for customer transaction data that we then used to determine SKUs that needed more attention in terms of restocking and replenishment.
  • "Learns" as you go; more intelligent decision-making
  • Is able to automatically infer data structure and data types
  • Makes quick decisions easier due to logic-based processing
  • Steep learning curve to learn the platform
  • Not the best solution for all data (ie. some transaction data could not be processed)
  • Uses a lot of memory for tasks that do not seem to necessitate it
SAP Hana Cloud performs extremely well when you have an unstructured dataset that needs additional processing/cleaning prior to database loading. It is able to make sense of different data sources and combine them seamlessly.

We have SAP HANA PCE and we use it to transform data on the fly either from sources most from SAP that we replicate into HANA through SLT. We then expose the semantic layers into BW layer through reporting and or output to other downstream systems. The main business problem addressed is the ease to propagate additional fields and the lesser need to drop and reload as calculated data is not staged.
  • Ease of field propagation
  • The use of input parameters that can be pushed down to source tables
  • The use of fields and not infobjects in the data structure
  • Tools to analyse performance of the calculated views at field level
  • Tools in showing the memory consumption at a HANA view point of view and not database level like in the planviz
  • Search tool to find fields or key words in filters, calculated columns, etc.
HANA is well suited for real time calculation and not so complex logics and joins. It is not suited for data that has dependency on time based masterdata or showing data at different points in time, because this data needs to be staged to provide comparison.

We are using SAP HANA Cloud in our organisation to run SAP processes. Its rich features allows us to process data easily and efficiently. Its a very robust cloud system and very dependable.
  • Data processing
  • user experience
  • ease of usage
  • greater usability
  • Network issues
  • Functionalities
  • difficult to master
Its data processing speed is unmatchable which makes sense as its an in memory database. Based on my experience if someone wants faster data and transaction speed then SAP HANA Cloud is the answer to that.

It helps you analyze more efficiently and quickly: text and search, predictive analytics, data series, streaming, and graph data processing.Enhance business applications with customized search capabilities across all enterprise data sources and solutions. In our organization it has enabled process automation and business decision making on both current and historical data.
  • processing speed
  • Data virtualization
  • faster technical assistance
  • high cost
The technical innovations inherent in the platform enable integrated functions of advanced analysis. But they are tools that unleash their maximum potential only when the entire organization has embarked on a digital transformation journey. It is therefore necessary to involve human resources and study existing processes with the aim of highlighting pockets of inefficiency, margins for improvement and new opportunities

Routine planning made easy with proper update. Also integration with third party software is successful to synchronize the data and auto uploading of batch detail. Inter company all data availability and limited access is useful feature. My scope is to identify the daily planning based on the updated results of testing is very useful.
  • Third party data integration
  • Synchronization of data from other module
  • Live tracking of PR and PO
  • Password reset limitation
  • Unavailability of some features.
  • Offline data availability
It is global available software hence many user are well aware for the sap hana. User no require more training he can direct use after joining.
