"The API tool in this product is very valuable; it is very easy to onboard and use."
"The most valuable feature is the ETL functionality."
"You can always manipulate a lot of things as long as you have the skill level."
"The logic is also simple. It makes it easy to build your extraction."
"Its integration capabilities and the data migration capabilities are the most valuable. It is very good for SAP and non-SAP tools. It has very good integration with SAP, but it also has the capabilities to connect to other systems. We find it very helpful and stable."
"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 tool is reliable, quick, and powerful."
"I am impressed with the tool's ability to customize."
"The product offers very good flexibility."
"The solution is very stable. We haven't faced any issues with glitches or bugs. We haven't had any crashes."
"The technical support is excellent."
"This is an established product with powerful data analysis and varied options for user entry points."
"If you compare it to SQL, the memory and development times are very quick."
"It will work fine only in an SAP environment. It could be said that the integration with other vendors could be better."
"The migration of the solution between different environments is quite complex."
"The solution shows a lack of cloud support data services."
"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."
"I want some more business intelligence applications. People need to know more and more about data, including the transformation rules, etc. Informatica is a better product for data cataloging. SAP should update the data catalog."
"An area for improvement in SAP Data Services could involve making the product more accessible to non-technical end-users."
"It's an ETL that is very good with relational databases but not as good with files and semi-structured files."
"With SAP Data Services, the problem arises when I try to connect to Azure Databricks."
"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."
"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."
"We implemented it a while ago, and we are trying to improve the data delivery performance. We are looking into how to get faster and automated reporting. We would need better designs and workflows."
"I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."
"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."
"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."
