SAP HANA Capabilities

There are somethings that SAP HANA can do, and there also can't.

What SAP HANA can do:

SAP HANA Analytic Capabilites:

What SAP HANA can't do:

SAP HANA is not a reporting solutions. We need to install and attach a BI tool. Example: SAP Business Objects Business Intelligence. We need this tool to generate report.
