We performed a comparison between Apache Hadoop and SAP BW4HANA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Data ingestion: It has rapid speed, if Apache Accumulo is used."
"The ability to add multiple nodes without any restriction is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"As compared to Hive on MapReduce, Impala on MPP returns results of SQL queries in a fairly short amount of time, and is relatively fast when reading data into other platforms like R."
"Two valuable features are its scalability and parallel processing. There are jobs that cannot be done unless you have massively parallel processing."
"I liked that Apache Hadoop was powerful, had a lot of tools, and the fact that it was free and community-developed."
"Its integration is Hadoop's best feature because that allows us to support different tools in a big data platform."
"One valuable feature is that we can download data."
"Hadoop is designed to be scalable, so I don't think that it has limitations in regards to scalability."
"I like the reporting features of the solution."
"Out of the box, this solution has a lot of standard features."
"I like that it's quite quick."
"The solution's performance is really good. Also, it's easy to operate, easy to administer, and relatively simple to install."
"It can calculate data in detail. Before we could not calculate financial documents and accountant documents in detail, we could not do it at a document level but now we can. This is the most important feature. It also has predictive analysis memory."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that the infrastructure is easy to understand."
"The most valuable feature is that it's robust."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"The upgrade path should be improved because it is not as easy as it should be."
"In certain cases, the configurations for dealing with data skewness do not make any sense."
"I would like to see more direct integration of visualization applications."
"The solution needs a better tutorial. There are only documents available currently. There's a lot of YouTube videos available. However, in terms of learning, we didn't have great success trying to learn that way. There needs to be better self-paced learning."
"The price could be better. I think we would use it more, but the company didn't want to pay for it. Hortonworks doesn't exist anymore, and Cloudera killed the free version of Hadoop."
"We would like to have more dynamics in merging this machine data with other internal data to make more meaning out of it."
"It needs better user interface (UI) functionalities."
"It takes too long to escalate problems from the first level of support."
"The speed of operations could be a little faster."
"The tool is not cloud-compatible."
"Other competitors provide better solutions that are more up to date with current technology."
"The monitoring for the remodeling feature is very difficult to understand."
"Support could be more reliable."
"I don't see SAP actively supporting the solution now...a better support from SAP would be appreciated."
"The tool is not easy to use for an end user."
Apache Hadoop is ranked 5th in Data Warehouse with 33 reviews while SAP BW4HANA is ranked 7th in Data Warehouse with 36 reviews. Apache Hadoop is rated 7.8, while SAP BW4HANA is rated 7.4. The top reviewer of Apache Hadoop writes "Handles huge data volumes and create your own workflows and tables but you need to have deeper knowledge". On the other hand, the top reviewer of SAP BW4HANA writes "An easy-to-operate and administer tool that needs to consider revising its existing licensing cost". Apache Hadoop is most compared with Azure Data Factory, Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics, Oracle Exadata, Snowflake and IBM Db2 Warehouse, whereas SAP BW4HANA is most compared with Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics, Snowflake, SAP HANA, Amazon Redshift and Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse.
