The setup is easy so I rate it an eight out of ten. 

Setting up the system initially posed challenges, especially considering the geographical location I am in now, which is Bangladesh, my native country. However, it was not as difficult in Dubai, where I previously led the IT department for a group of companies with offices in thirty countries worldwide.

The initial setup was not easy since it took a couple of days to install the tool. We had to download it from the internet and follow some processes so that the tool could be integrated into our internal network.

The initial setup of SAP HANA was gradual, it took us approximately six months.

The solution's initial setup is straightforward, but it requires experience for implementation.

On average, it takes six to eight months for deployment. There are some instances where it takes a year when the client wants to combine two solutions together.

We use SAP's new project management model for deployment. It is a complete infrastructure service where we get the hardware from hyperscaler and implement the application.

In terms of the initial setup, I do not know how to install it on the server itself. I don't handle the technical aspects since I am a consultant. I don't directly handle the setup process. Likely, it is installed on Linux.

I rate SAP HANA a seven and a half out of ten for its initial setup. The deployment of SAP HANA took around 18 months.

The initial setup is simple.

You do need resources specifically dedicated to the solution. However, it's not that complex. I'd rate the ease of setup around six to seven out of ten.

It is pretty quick to deploy. Deployments happen weekly or biweekly. 

One resource is enough to handle deployment, and three for maintenance.

The initial setup for SAP HANA is so-so. It's not easy, yet it's not so difficult. I'm rating its setup as six out of ten.

The total time it takes to deploy SAP HANA depends on the type of integration. I have a lot of integrations where one integration gets deployed within thirty minutes, while another takes more than two days to deploy.

It was an easy setup. That said, the implementation takes some time. They spent two or three months just developing the requirements and they gathered from us what we need to do. Then they implement it in two or three months. I don't know if this is a long period or a short period, however, that is how long it took for us. 

I'm not sure how deployment and maintenance are handled. I'm not sure how many people are involved in those aspects of the product. 

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. The only thing was there were a lot of parameters which had to be taken into consideration and any parameter at installation will be paid. But one good thing about SAP HANA is even if you miss a single parameter, you cannot agree to it for the steps. The further steps will tell you that, "you have missed this step. You first complete it, then you can come here." That kind of interlinking is there. So yes, SAP installation is pretty straightforward, and very easy and smooth.

The initial setup of SAP HANA was simple. The process can take approximately 45 minutes.

I did not handle the initial setup at all. I'm not sure how the deployment went or what the process was. 

The initial setup doesn't take more than a few hours. The on-premise version can be installed on public cloud and SAP now have their own version on private cloud. Installation is just a matter of preparing the operating system that has certain prerequisites, patches, and networking requirements that need to fill parameters.

The solution's initial setup was straightforward.

Only one or two days were required for the deployment part, which the technical department took care of in our organization.

If SAP provides simple and standard documentation to its users explaining every solution process in detail, the steps to deploy the solution can be simplified. In short, the deployment process won't take long if one follows the documentation. Also, it will ensure that the users do not have to get involved in any troubleshooting steps or face any other problems while using the solution.

Only one system administrator is required to deploy and maintain the solution.

The initial setup for SAP HANA was straightforward. I don't have information on how long it took to deploy the solution because I wasn't in charge of the deployment.

The initial setup was complex, but this was due to the nature of the current project which is large and complex. However, for smaller projects, it has been more straightforward.

The standard way to implement the solution does not take a lot of time. However, if you need to use specific deployment options, called distributions, in the replication. It takes a lot of time for the configuration. The maximum time of deployment will be three days.

The steps taken for the implementation of the solution are sizing the resources, cloud or on-premise, and determining what modules will be required. The most important is figuring out the prerequisites and then starting the deployment. We have to check to see if all the licenses are in place, do application appraisals, and review the whole system.

The initial setup for SAP HANA isn't complex. It would depend on what you need, but it's easy because you just need to define the business process and blueprint, get approval from your business team and technical team, build the structures, get approval, then configure, assign, and get approval again so you can start working on SAP HANA.

The total time it takes to deploy SAP HANA would depend on the gathering of information, checking what prevails, arranging it correctly, getting the approval, then proceeding with the deployment. You should have a plan regarding the timing, the processes, the resource, the budget, etc., for the deployment of SAP HANA.

On a scale of one to five, I'm rating the implementation of SAP HANA as five out of five.

The initial setup isn't too hard if you know SAP software. 

In an enterprise with 150 end users, you might need two to three people to deploy the solution. 

The initial setup of SAP HANA is complex. We did the implementation of one site, and a global deployment will take another three to four years. 

The initial setup is straightforward. It's not too difficult to install if you are experienced with the solution.

Speaking about the initial setup phase, my company is still in the planning phase, and because of this, there is no dedicated person involved to look after the initial setup process.

The solution is deployed on-premises, but we plan to move to AWS in the future. We will start the migration process in the next month or after two or three months.

I would rate the initial setup at nine on a scale from one to ten with one being difficult and ten being easy.

The deployment took six and a half years.

The setup is straightforward. The deployment took around six months to complete.

The initial setup for this solution is straightforward as it is all automated. The setup is also easy, except for issues with migrating legacy data.

I didn't handle the initial implementation. The company furnished all the equipment needed for me to work. They gave me the computer, which Red Hat was installed on. They just give me access and showed me where to access what I needed and where to put the ID and password. I didn't do anything.

Typically there are six people that are available for maintenance tasks. They're IT technicians.

Since we have been using the solution before we did not have any issues with the install. There were not any major complex operations. However, there were some challenges but we had the full documentation with us and it was not a problem. 

If you have some experience, the initial setup is quite easy. 

The initial setup was pretty complex, considering the enormous amount of data they had from an Oracle ERP. Migration was an especially painful task, but we managed to sail through it thanks to the support of our customer. We delivered it within the timelines. We managed a few escalations. We worked with the customer. We had a weekly stand-up with the customer and various workshops and sessions to educate them and highlight the challenges. 

I don't think the initial setup is too complex. Obviously it's not easy because SAP HANA is a complex system, so it's somewhere in the middle.

SAP HANA is easy to set up. It took a short time to deploy the solution.

The initial setup is very difficult and not easy.

The initial setup was five years ago, so it's been a while. However, I do recall it being straightforward. We typically install a version on Linux. While it can be difficult, at the moment, it's pretty good. Things have changed a bit, and they've improved the setup a bit. It's not really that unsimilar to Microsoft's SQL server.

It was easy for us to set up, because we had that QA code, in terms of the system analysis and system requirements. Once we got the system requirements, we were able to connect to the hardware and software. We could make sure before we did the implementation that we had the right environment.

The initial setup is quite straightforward. It can be done in a couple of modes; command line or the graphical interface. There are five or six components that get installed and deployment takes a maximum of an hour. It doesn't require much manpower. 

The solution is very straightforward and simple. It's not overly complex or difficult. 

SAP HANA was very hard to implement.

The initial setup proceeds better when best practices are followed. It can take more than a week to implement the system.

We have one team that handles the maintenance of the solution.

The initial setup was quite complicated. We had to do a migration, so it wasn't a fresh installation. We had Oracle as our legacy system and had to move everything over to HANA. We had to do half a year of testing and had to do several cycles of tests and migrations before deploying. Once that was done, we deployed over a weekend.

The initial setup was painful and required a lot of work. Systems would go down all the time because there were initial errors with the SAP system. but once it was up and stabilized, things were good. It still has flaws but it's a good solution as a whole. They've implemented extra modules from SAP. If you don't implement it properly you'll feel the pain. It probably took around six months to solve all the issues because SAP is so big and so integrated and so integral, it can take a while to fix the problems. You can limp along until things are solved and find workarounds, but it takes a lot of effort. SAP helped us with the implementation. 

The initial setup was very, very complex, tedious, and costly and required someone with great expertise to complete it. The deployment took two years.

The initial setup is difficult and complex. It's very complex compared to SQL, for example.

The initial deployment took 15 days, however, nowadays, it takes one or two days. Mostly, I can complete it in one day.

The installation is straightforward and took approximately six months.

The initial setup was a bit complex. We were told to download it from the marketplace, but when we tried, it didn't work. We may have been doing something wrong, but we did not have a clear understanding of how it should be done. We also had difficulties with the trial version, it was not working.

There are two options:

1. Download SAP HANA then import it
2. Go to the marketplace and download the connector

For testing purposes, if they could provide us with clear documentation, it would be very helpful.

In the newer versions, the initial setup is mostly straightforward. However, the older version was more complex. We had several issues with installing.

The installation usually takes approximately four hours.

There are two admins at the most to maintain this solution.

The initial setup is complex.

The initial setup is straightforward and there were no problems with deployment. 

It was a little bit complex in the beginning, but after gaining experience training through business structures, now it is straightforward for us. Especially, as we are building our internal team now, it is becoming easier and easier.

It took us eight months to deploy because we are running five modules. In some cases, it may take even longer than that.

The initial setup was complex and we had to contact the vendor a couple of times. And for the licensing part we've also had a couple of issues. We did the deployment ourselves, as a team. 

The initial setup was complex. I am talking about how the data is replicated to the site. We had an Oracle database and did replication to the VR site. Yet, when it comes to HANA, we are forced to work out the method for for ensuring that this replication works as it should. It is at this point that the solution becomes stable.

The deployment lasted six months. 

The initial setup is straightforward.

Gradual deployment from straightforward to complex, on-premise and then to cloud platform.

The initial setup was straightforward.

The initial setup is not complex to install. Anyone with Windows or a Mac would know the process.

The initial setup is not straightforward. It took us between seven and 15 days for deployment. We have over ten people using this solution in our organization.

I was not involved in the setup of this solution. I only installed SAP HANA Express on my laptop, which was easy. The full version requires professional knowledge. It's not something you can install, like Microsoft Office, on any laptop.

If it's a new installation, it is straightforward. However, if it's a migration from one system to a new system, it's not as straightforward as you might think it would be.

The initial setup is straightforward. For one system, the stand-down system, it will take about four to five days for implementation from scratch. I often handle implementation, so for me, it's straightforward because I have some experience in this area. You do need a skilled team. You have to understand many areas if you want to deploy it yourself. You have to have experience with the storage, the network, with operating systems, etc. 

I know SAP itself recommends that you have to have a certificate or a certified person that can deploy SAP HANA.

It is a bit complex, but if you follow the instructions, it can be installed. The initial setup could be easier.

The initial setup was a bit complex for us because we had a lot of other add-on solutions, like the Open Expanding Invoice Management solution. We had to upgrade it because the current version we had, 10.5, wasn't compatible with the upgraded S4 HANA. 

I found the process complex because I had to re-implement all open expanding invoice management. We were using ICC and ICC also wasn't compatible either. We had to then switch over to BCC, which I had to re-implement and reconfigure the whole system again. 

We had specialists that handled the implementation. We didn't handle it ourselves. It would be difficult to comment on the level of difficulty since we didn't manage the setup in-house.

The initial setup is straightforward. It usually takes around eight months but it depends on a customer's requirements. We can spend a month or two customizing. 

The initial setup was straightforward.

The initial setup, from what I recall, was complex. I remember we had a lot of issues to tackle when we set this up and with upgrading.

The deployment was straightforward.
