A stable integration and ETL tool with data warehousing and reporting capabilities
Improvement is required since so many SQL-related things are happening. So, we can reduce those SQL parts, and we can use some in-built functions of the solution. So, the reduction in the SQL part is something that is an ongoing process and is not something that has completely been improved. Slowly, SAP is releasing some functions, and we are using those functions. The processing side has been improved. So, the features are the same. Improvement is required. All kinds of new functionalities are coming, including new processing techniques. The execution engines and processing engines have shortcomings and need improvements. Because right now, all kinds of big data technologies have come, and those integrations need to be adapted by SAP more.

Has robust data governance capabilities and efficient financial alerting features
The platform's robust data governance capabilities ensure strong compliance with regulatory standards. Our dedicated data governance team is responsible for setting policies and monitoring data access and usage. Additionally, we have a Data Protection Officer (DPO) and an independent InfoSec team that work together to enforce these policies. This multi-layered approach ensures that data governance is effectively managed and compliant with all necessary regulations. It is integrated with SQL and Power BI servers for executive management dashboard reporting. This integration supports comprehensive data analysis and reporting needs, which was a key factor in our decision. The value of using vCenter lies in its comprehensive data infrastructure management. It significantly enhances our reporting, day-to-day decision-making, and analytics capabilities. Integrating SaaS with vCenter adds value by streamlining key functions and improving overall organizational efficiency. The solution can be considered expensive, particularly due to infrastructure, maintenance, and ownership costs. The long-term savings and efficiencies gained from using vCenter can justify the investment for large organizations. However, the high costs might not be justifiable for smaller organizations with less data and fewer resources. Conducting a thorough cost-benefit analysis based on the organization's specific needs and scale is recommended. I rate it an eight.

"The HANA database, which is very fast, is a valuable feature."

"We can extract data at a table level, extract data at the ETL level, and we can extract data at an ODP level."
More SAP Data Services pros

More SAS Data Management pros
 

Cons

"With SAP Data Services, the problem arises when I try to connect to Azure Databricks."
"There should be some kind of enhancement that can be done on the admin side of certain sites where we can assign the roles and responsibilities. We should be able to control who is using the tool and how."
"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."
"It will work fine only in an SAP environment. It could be said that the integration with other vendors could be better."
"The solution shows a lack of cloud support data services."
"An area for improvement in SAP Data Services could involve making the product more accessible to non-technical end-users."
"There needs to be multi-language support, however, my understanding is they are working on multi-language now."
"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."
More SAP Data Services cons
"Integration and cloud migration are areas where we see potential for improvement."
"The solution could use better documentation."
"The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable."
"I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."
"Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."
"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."
"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."
"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."
More SAS Data Management cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Speaking about prices, Oracle and SAP are market leaders. So, the prices are more."
"The price is very reasonable."
"Its pricing is as per the enterprise agreement and not a concern for us."
"At the entry level, if you're using it only for data integration, it is a little bit cheap. However, for large organizations it can be expensive. There are additional costs apart from the license."
"The pricing is a little high to make the product more competetive in the marketplace."
"The product’s on-premise version is expensive for a medium-sized company."
"Pricing is good, there is no problem."
"The license price is expensive but medium to large-scale companies, should be able to afford it. Other solutions, such as Talend are easier to afford for smaller companies. Depending on the sources of the data where you are receiving your data you could be paying for more than one license."
More SAP Data Services pricing and cost advice
"The tool is a bit expensive."
"The licensing model for vCenter is a perpetual license with yearly payments."
"While it is even free for personal use on the cloud, it can be expensive for desktop installations and enterprise use."
"The solution is expensive."
