An article that actually calls out SAP for getting rid of some of its top talent - color me shocked!

Oracle , IBM and Microsoft have far better Databases
SAP could of dumped money in the Sybase ASE and IQ but nope
it all Hana good luck with that
Even today Sybase IQ is faster than Hana
Poor leadership and missguided board, I fell bad for the folks that are left behind
to pick up the pieces. Soon they will be out the door in the near future after all you
need to blame the little guys for poor management decision
I cant believe people are fine with a single DB needing dozens or hundreds of CPU cores and terabytes of memory, it's simply insane.
You simply don’t understand - it’s faster, in-memory, did I say faster.

SAP had the opportunity to redevelop R/3 into a more 21st century kind of software. Instead, it wasted money and resources in HANA, which seems like a useless piece of c-ap after all the hype.
Imagine the shock I had the first time I opened ME21N (it was through a menu system instead of t-code) in a Fiori-based S/4HANA expecting something revolutionary - the shock that nothing much has changed since R/3!
Those who tell you S/4HANA is The Future has never logged in to a R/3 or S/4HANA system before.
To address the above post by @Ybu9JGj-1sht, no, customers don't find the need to upgrade because S/4HANA is like R/3 in a different coloured-shirt and shades! Business users also dread to go through the entire re-implementation again, only to use back a similar system with a different "coloured-shirt"! Customers are no longer that gullible and the only thing SAP can do to push S/4HANA licenses is through license audits.
Better jump before the Titanic sinks! At least you may survive!
So by 2025, everyone needs to be on S4, with that ridiculously expensive and now very complex HANA DB? Between the hardware and licensing cost, I dont know how anyone runs it.
