"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The logic is also simple. It makes it easy to build your extraction."
"I appreciate having access to the SAP data."
"It's easy to understand and deploy. It's easy to create new applications, and depending on the complexity of the application, it is easy to deploy the new requirements."
"The basic functionality is quite good as is the basic logic and data information."
"The fact that it's built on SQL, it makes it easy to write code. The database and the connection are quite smooth."
"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 maintenance of data services is the solution's most valuable feature."
"Data Services' best features are its robustness and plug-and-play integration with other SAP applications."
"This solution would benefit from the engine being made more lightweight."
"There are certain shortcomings in the cloud side of the solution, where improvements are required."
"Their technical support needs improvement."
"IBM InfoSphere Information Server should be more scalable. It should have the option to change the configuration to run on a single, non-multiple node, or multi-threading processing."
"We encounter challenges while exporting implemented rules, such as those applied to objects like the material master, into a format like Excel for documentation and further analysis."
"There needs to be multi-language support, however, my understanding is they are working on multi-language now."
"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."
"The skillset of data engineers matters a bit to use all the functionality of this solution. Otherwise, the delivery speed won't be faster."
"The migration of the solution between different environments is quite complex."
"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."
