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 solution is scalable."
"The ability to resize the cluster is what really makes it stand out over other Hadoop and big data solutions."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"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."
"It allows users to access the data through a web interface."
"The project management is very streamlined."
"Amazon EMR is a good solution that can be used to manage big data."
"In Amazon EMR it is easy to rebuild anything, easy to upgrade and has good fault tolerance."
"One feature I find very valuable, is the response time of the application on the database memory."
"SAP HANA is a stable solution."
"This solution is very fast."
"It's easy to use, and the Hana Studio is pretty good."
"As I only worked part-time on SAP HANA, I did not have the opportunity to explore the advanced features of the solution. However, I did work with basic features, such as user administration and access controls for the accounting department. The feature that stood out to me the most was the Single Sign-On and user administration, backup, and server management. My experience with SAP HANA was mainly focused on basic server improvements."
"A very feature-rich solution with excellent performance."
"The performance is very, very good. It's one of the best aspects of the solution."
"If you want to scale with new processes and new reports, that's fairly easy."
"The product's features for storing data in static clusters could be better."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"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 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."
"The problem for us is it starts very slow."
"Modules and strategies should be better handled and notified early in advance."
"The product must add some of the latest technologies to provide more flexibility to the users."
"The solution could improve by having better migration flexibility. For example, it would be helpful if there was a way for customers could check their nonproduction and production deployments."
"HANA could be improved by adding analytics and development models in the institution."
"The user experience should be better. Its user interface is not good. I also don't like the transition concept."
"It could be a bit more scalable."
"It would be nice to know when SAP plans to stop its maintenance of a previous version of SAP ECC ERP because, at this point, anyone utilizing SAP will have no choice but to go on S/4HANA Database."
"I give the scalability of SAP HANA a six out of ten."
"I don't have direct access to SAP, and instead, I need to go through the SAP office in India."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
