Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."You can always manipulate a lot of things as long as you have the skill level."
"The most valuable feature is the logging capability."
"The maintenance of data services is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"Technical support from SAP is awesome. If we have an issue, they give a good solution."
"The fact that it's built on SQL, it makes it easy to write code. The database and the connection are quite smooth."
"I like how SAP Data Services links reporting and data integration. That's what's most interesting. You also have the opportunity to leverage the power of the Data Services server."
"The most valuable features of SAP Data Services lie in its ability to effectively observe and interpret the information within data related to people or facts, stands out."
"It's a very robust solution and it's very configurable. Before this product we would use an ESB-type of solution which required us to write code and go through a process. We can configure the SEEBURGER solution much more easily, instead of writing code... It can handle large files very well."
"For the tool that we used to have, we had specially trained developers who used to do all the development of EDI maps and the configuration. But with SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) now, we were able to train our EDI analysts, and because the tool has very simple, intuitive mapping capabilities, even our EDI analysts are able to develop all the EDI maps, do all the configurations, and do all the setups for any of the trading partners."
"It used to take half an hour to move one file from one location to another. Now, it takes 10 minutes."
"What would have been a manual process of transmitting data items around between us and third-parties has been automated. SEEBURGER BIS handles the automation and mapping side of the communications. The automation, along with the efficiency around time and cost, has improved our organization. Around 20,000 messages a month have been automated. These typically would be financial/order transactions and confirmations in invoicing that have been automated."
"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is a highly stable solution that offers rich features for our B2B integration."
"The solution is flexible when it comes to adding integrations. It is much easier to use than the other tools we have to move the files. Across the board, we can move files in a short amount of time compared to our other existing tools."
"We haven't had any issues with scaling."
"Among the most valuable features are the EDI translator and a lot of the components which enable creating compliance sets. Having something standard out-of-the-box and being able to use that has been a huge benefit for us."
"Data Services SAP is lacking in sources and target databases compared to Informatica. SAP Data Services should have more connectivity."
"In the future, Data Services should offer a cloud version."
"Newer feature integration is lagging behind the company acquisitions and the product could do more to service a broader range of devices."
"The solution shows a lack of cloud support data services."
"The interface is not quite user-friendly and is in need of improvement."
"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."
"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."
"The execution engines and processing engines have shortcomings and need improvements."
"We wanted to use API. We were told that in 6.52 we could use API management. Later on, we found that API management wasn't that completely integrated into the 6.52 solution, and if you wanted to have the whole API suite you might have to go to 6.7, the latest one."
"I don't think the scalability of the solution is that great because they have tied the solution to their named nodes and it does not allow scalability like some of the cloud products allow."
"The integration is not so excellent. While I'm not saying there is a problem, there is no pattern. When we start a new project, we have to work with new people and processes every time. The technical side of their system is very good, but their change process is not repeatable. It needs to be rebuilt each time."
"A true debugger that allows you to step through the process would be a good improvement. Right now, we are limited to reading the log file generated by the test screen in Mapping Designer."
"The BIS Front End needs a little bit of refreshing, especially when it comes to setting up new trading partners and trading partner agreements or transactions. It can be a bit clumsy to copy and rename and then go in and modify."
"Difficult in handling large amounts of data, like when the file has more than 100MB in size."
"A person whom I work with, and is not very technical, found the setup complex, as there are a lot of steps."
"The initial setup is not the straightforward. It took couple of months for us to set up."
