"The most valuable feature is the logging capability."
"The feature of SAP Data Services has enhanced our company's business processes because we are able to run around 800 jobs in areas like data extraction and transaction objects."

"If you compare it to SQL, the memory and development times are very quick."
"The solution is very stable. We haven't faced any issues with glitches or bugs. We haven't had any crashes."
"This is an established product with powerful data analysis and varied options for user entry points."
"I am impressed with the tool's ability to customize."
"Its robustness is valuable. It is a full-fledged suite. We have a data warehouse model, and there are also a lot of data quality management tools. The repository and all other tools are there. So, it is a full package in terms of reporting tools."
"The technical support is excellent."

"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."
"The solution shows a lack of cloud support data services."
"The interface is not quite user-friendly and is in need of improvement."
"The description of error messages isn't extensive, although they point to the problem. With other solutions, like Talend, I was able to use the debugger to get directly to the problem, but with SAP Data Services the debugger is not working. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the version specifically, but I'm using it in an enterprise environment and I can't do an upgrade."
"Scheduling of jobs in the sequence is not available. It's a very tedious process to do that particular task. If there was a tool to schedule in the sequence that would be extremely helpful."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The solution should offer more machine learning and automation."
"An area for improvement in SAP Data Services could involve making the product more accessible to non-technical end-users."
"One problem is accessing the data using a solution other than SAS. The SAS data, which we create in the SAS, cannot be accessed by other tools. We can't open those data in other applications. So we need to have that application in place."
"I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."
"Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."
"With SAS Data Management, you have to purchase an external driver, configure all of the tables for all of the data that you will extract from Salesforce. It's not a straightforward process."
"The solution could use better documentation."
"We find we often have to go back and re-train users when there are changes made to the solution because the changes are not intuitive."
