We performed a comparison between Amazon EMR 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."The initial setup is straightforward."
"The project management is very streamlined."
"This is the best tool for hosts and it's really flexible and scalable."
"The solution helps us manage huge volumes of data."
"When we grade big jobs from on-prem to the cloud, we do it in EMR with Spark."
"It has a variety of options and support systems."
"We are using applications, such as Splunk, Livy, Hadoop, and Spark. We are using all of these applications in Amazon EMR and they're helping us a lot."
"In Amazon EMR it is easy to rebuild anything, easy to upgrade and has good fault tolerance."
"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."
"In comparison with other DMS solutions, it offers good performance."
"When we upgraded, we received more functions or more features."
"We have found that the Fiori Apps are particularly good."
"A very feature-rich solution with excellent performance."
"If you want to scale with new processes and new reports, that's fairly easy."
"The performance is very, very good. It's one of the best aspects of the solution."
"The in-memory database is excellent."
"We don't have much control. If we have multiple users, if they want to scale up, the cost will go and increase and we don't know how we can restrict that price part."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"Modules and strategies should be better handled and notified early in advance."
"There were times where they would release new versions and it seemed to end up breaking old versions, which is very strange."
"The most complicated thing is configuring to the cluster and ensure it's running correctly."
"The product must add some of the latest technologies to provide more flexibility to the users."
"Amazon EMR can improve by adding some features, such as megastore services and HiveServer2. Additionally, the user interface could be better, similar to what Apache service provides, cross-platform services."
"The dashboard management could be better. Right now, it's lacking a bit."
"SAP HANA's long run time to extract data could be improved upon."
"SAP HANA is not strong like Oracle when it comes to finance. They are only strong with the logistic business project."
"The pricing could be better."
"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."
"The user interface and CRM need to be more user-friendly."
"Technical support could be better."
"The releases need to be more stable. It's surprising to still encounter significant bugs after ten years of the product being available."
"SAP HANA isn't user-friendly, and it's very hard to train newcomers to use it."
