We performed a comparison between Amazon Aurora and SAP HANA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The provision of custom read and write endpoints eliminates the need for managing a separate proxy load balancer."
"The solution’s scalability is good since we don’t need to take a maintenance window during unpredictable workloads. I like the solution’s behind-the-scenes happenings. It is a great feature."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to do multiple-read and single-write. These are the kinds of features that we were interested in, and Aurora takes care of that natively."
"We had better control over the parameters that we could tweak in terms of intermediate storage and better indexing capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon Aurora is SQL standardization, it doesn't have its own syntax which is good. It has a lot of hands-off self-management type of activities, such as log rolling and auto-scaling."
"Aurora's compatibility with MySQL or PostgreSQL benefited our database management. The migration from on-premise MySQL to Aurora was similar, so we didn't need to change our source code."
"The most valuable feature is that the maintainability is offloaded to the service provider. I don't have to maintain a database or do any administrative tasks, which comes in handy."
"The solution is extremely stable. That's the most important aspect of the solution, for our organization. There is no downtime, and the performance is very good."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility and the integration with other solutions in data quality."
"The functionality is of the solution is very good."
"Technically it resembles Oracle, but as a somewhat lighter version."
"In comparison with other DMS solutions, it offers good performance."
"The product's initial setup phase was really easy."
"What I like best about SAP HANA is that it's faster than Microsoft SQL Server."
"We have found that the Fiori Apps are particularly good."
"The pricing could improve. It should be reduced."
"There is improvement needed to have more developer focus. Additionally, it would be helpful to have a stand-alone solution outside of Amazon. Amazon has a tendency to favor developing web-based clients, which may not always provide the fastest or most responsive solution as desired."
"I would like to see more AI-related features in future releases."
"It is a bit costly. The features are quite good, and I wouldn't say it requires any technical improvements. But from a cost perspective, some clients wouldn't go for Aurora because of that."
"I would like to see performance insights on the database based on the queries. Currently, we use SolarWinds as the monitoring tool. I would like to leverage SolarWinds’ performance insights in AWS services. SolarWinds gives larger insights when we run performance issues."
"It would have been helpful if they had provided some benchmarking numbers."
"The product's distributed query process for MySQL needs improvement."
"Needs graphical programming without coding."
"The initial setup was very, very complex, tedious, and costly and required someone with great expertise to complete it."
"It's a complex initial setup."
"The solution's development platform should be more flexible and scalable to adapt to other solutions."
"The pricing is expensive."
"The only downside of the product is that it is an expensive solution that needs to consider lowering its prices to improve the product."
"SAP HANA is not perfect and they could improve by having more options and more integration."
"The solution could improve in the handling of backup data and the administration tools."
