"I appreciate having access to the SAP data."
"The reporting on the data, even from third-party software, is very good."
"The basic functionality is quite good as is the basic logic and data information."
"Data Services' table comparison mechanism is very powerful. It's pretty hard to find a similar feature in other solutions."
"The solution is easy to use since it's a graphical tool. It also requires only low-level coding."
"The maintenance of data services is the solution's most valuable feature."
"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."
"The product offers very good flexibility."
"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."
"The tool is reliable, quick, and powerful."
"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."
"If you compare it to SQL, the memory and development times are very quick."
"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 pricing of the solution should be improved."
"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."
"It's an ETL that is very good with relational databases but not as good with files and semi-structured files."
"The solution should offer more machine learning and automation."
"Integration with other products could be improved."
"Some of the jobs that are built within Data Services require local files, and during initial deployment, those local files cannot be transported between machines simply because of security issues."
"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."
"At the integration level, there could be certain set of improvement to connect to various other systems."
"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."
"The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable."
"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."
"Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."
"I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."
"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."
"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."
"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."
