We performed a comparison between IBM Spectrum Computing 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."We are satisfied with the technical support, we have no issues."
"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."
"This solution is working for both VTL and tape."
"Easy to operate and use."
"Spectrum Computing's best features are its speed, robustness, and data processing and analysis."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is the policy driving resource management, to optimize the computing across data centers."
"This solution is very fast."
"Technically it resembles Oracle, but as a somewhat lighter version."
"If you want to scale with new processes and new reports, that's fairly easy."
"We like that the product is both vertically and horizontally scalable, allowing us to do around 86 percent compression of documentation from 50 to seven terabytes."
"The data storage requirement is reduced from the original database to the HANA database."
"The most valuable features I have found are speed, dashboard, and reporting."
"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."
"The feature that I like the most is that we can transport the data to our web data application. SAP HANA's performance is really perfect. We're working on big data, and SAP HANA is really working on high performance. We are happy working with it."
"This solution is no longer managing tapes correctly."
"Lack of sufficient documentation, particularly in Spanish."
"We have not been able to use deduplication."
"We'd like to see some AI model training for machine learning."
"Spectrum Computing is lagging behind other products, most likely because it hasn't been shifted to the cloud."
"SMB storage and HPC is not compatible and it should be supported by IBM Spectrum Computing."
"The SAP ERP processes are quite complex and it can be challenging."
"The product lacks some flexibility in its settings and configurations."
"High availability and disaster recovery are very poor in HANA."
"The initial setup was very, very complex, tedious, and costly and required someone with great expertise to complete it."
"I would like to see improvements in the connectivity of the solution with other BI software. Not every software can connect to it natively."
"In my limited experience using SAP, the process of granting access to different modules is difficult. Specifically, the requirement to assign roles and key codes to users rather than being able to assign them individually made the process more complex. It would be beneficial if there was a way to assign key codes separately, rather than having to create multiple roles. This would make managing access easier."
"The pricing could be better."
"The solution is very expensive for us."
