"The API tool in this product is very valuable; it is very easy to onboard and use."
"The HANA database, which is very fast, is a valuable feature."
"The solution is easy to use since it's a graphical tool. It also requires only low-level coding."
"If you compare it to SQL, the memory and development times are very quick."
"The product offers very good flexibility."
"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."
"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 technical support is excellent."
"I am impressed with the tool's ability to customize."
"With SAP Data Services, the problem arises when I try to connect to Azure Databricks."
"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."
"Newer feature integration is lagging behind the company acquisitions and the product could do more to service a broader range of devices."
"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."
"There needs to be multi-language support, however, my understanding is they are working on multi-language now."
"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."
"In the future, Data Services should offer a cloud version."
"Integration with other products could be improved."
"I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."
"The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable."
"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 is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."
"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."
"Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."
"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."
"The solution could use better documentation."
