"Ab Initio reaches the highest performance and is very flexible in processing huge amounts of data."
"The fact that it's built on SQL, it makes it easy to write code. The database and the connection are quite smooth."
"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 most valuable feature of SAP Data Services is the integration with data sources."
"The reporting on the data, even from third-party software, is very good."
"The logic is also simple. It makes it easy to build your extraction."
"The maintenance of data services is the solution's most valuable feature."
"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 most valuable feature is the ETL functionality."
"An awesome improvement would be big data solutions, for example, implementing some kind of business intelligence or neural networks for artificial intelligence."
"Co>Operating System would be improved with more integrations for less well-known technologies."
"The execution engines and processing engines have shortcomings and need improvements."
"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"At the integration level, there could be certain set of improvement to connect to various other systems."
"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."
"Newer feature integration is lagging behind the company acquisitions and the product could do more to service a broader range of devices."
