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."We had better control over the parameters that we could tweak in terms of intermediate storage and better indexing capabilities."
"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 provision of custom read and write endpoints eliminates the need for managing a separate proxy load balancer."
"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 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."
"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."
"It is very flexible to integrate with SaaS components."
"The memory is the solution's most valuable feature. It's the main feature of HANA. Others are still the regular IT databases that are on storage and are therefore much slower than HANA. The solution is quite fast."
"We've had good experiences with technical support."
"Using this solution has given us better details for reporting and analytics."
"Integration is the most valuable feature we use SAP HANA for."
"The most valuable features I have found are speed, dashboard, and reporting."
"The solution is stable."
"Technically it resembles Oracle, but as a somewhat lighter version."
"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 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 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."
"The pricing could improve. It should be reduced."
"The product's distributed query process for MySQL needs improvement."
"I would like to see more AI-related features in future releases."
"It would have been helpful if they had provided some benchmarking numbers."
"If the developers were to enhance or improve the application logic while processing the transactions, that would be great."
"They should develop and improve the solution's data management system."
"In a future release, SAP HANA should add a module for taxation, such as income tax and withholding tax."
"When you do a report on a non-SAP platform, you face some compatibility problems."
"The solution is very expensive for us."
"The inclusion of a well-performing Time Machine is vital."
"I think that the pricing is high and it needs improvement."
"The interface is a little bit hard to customize. You almost have to consult the SAP original developer to change it."
