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."Amazon EMR is a good solution that can be used to manage big data."
"The solution is pretty simple to set up."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It has a variety of options and support systems."
"The project management is very streamlined."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Amazon EMR's most valuable features are processing speed and data storage capacity."
"This is the best tool for hosts and it's really flexible and scalable."
"The user interface is very good. You can do any kind of reporting analytics from the platform."
"We can save data very easily."
"The solution operates well."
"We are using the solution for the DW system. The primary function of the solution is for the database in memory."
"The in-memory database is excellent."
"Integration is the most valuable feature we use SAP HANA for."
"It's very convenient and very innovative."
"SAP HANA's interface is pretty user-friendly."
"Amazon EMR is continuously improving, but maybe something like CI/CD out-of-the-box or integration with Prometheus Grafana."
"The product's features for storing data in static clusters could be better."
"There is no need to pay extra for third-party software."
"The problem for us is it starts very slow."
"The legacy versions of the solution are not supported in the new versions."
"As people are shifting from legacy solutions to other technologies, Amazon EMR needs to add more features that give more flexibility in managing user data."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see improvement on the feedback from the road-map; it is currently extremely hard to get insight in this area."
"I would like to see improvements in the connectivity of the solution with other BI software. Not every software can connect to it natively."
"SAP HANA's long run time to extract data could be improved upon."
"A documents preview could be helpful."
"The openness of the system could be more developed. The solution should go into the cloud. The cloud mechanism should be more invested."
"There's an issue in the partition. When you record more than two million records, partitioning does not work well. In Oracle it's easy. SAP must resolve this issue in order to be more competitive with Oracle."
"The JDBC connectors are very slow."
"The only downside of the product is that it is an expensive solution that needs to consider lowering its prices to improve the product."
