"I have worked with Data Services for a long time, and currently, I find the dashboarding and reporting part to be the most valuable function."
"The product's most valuable features are data validation and rules."
"The HANA database, which is very fast, is a valuable feature."
"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."
"I appreciate having access to the SAP data."
"In terms of which features I have found most valuable, I would say the importing and exporting features. Additionally, the data sorting, categorizing and summarizing features, especially how it can summarize based on categories. These are the key features."
"The tool is reliable, quick, and powerful."
"The technical support is excellent."
"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."
"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 solution is very stable. We haven't faced any issues with glitches or bugs. We haven't had any crashes."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The solution could improve the overall features. There is a lot that can be done in the solution, therefor there are areas where it can improve. Additionally, there is a need to make it easier for one to create connections to other non-SAP systems. The flexibility to connect to other non-SAP systems is needed."
"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."
"In the future, Data Services should offer a cloud version."
"At the integration level, there could be certain set of improvement to connect to various other systems."
"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."
"We would like the different tools offered within this solution to be available as standalone entities, rather than having to purchase the entire package when we only require a few features."
"Data Services SAP is lacking in sources and target databases compared to Informatica. SAP Data Services should have more connectivity."
"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."
"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."
"The solution could use better documentation."
"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."
"The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable."
"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."
