Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."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 fact that it's built on SQL, it makes it easy to write code. The database and the connection are quite smooth."
"It is a powerful product with a broad range of features."
"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."
"I appreciate having access to the SAP data."
"The user interface is ok."
"The solution is easy to use since it's a graphical tool. It also requires only low-level coding."
"The HANA database, which is very fast, is a valuable feature."
"It has a lot of basic EDI already established for all the main users. Also, it lets me share setups that I had already set up for my first plant. I was able to use them for my second one which was very helpful. I didn't have to start from scratch for my second facility."
"It used to take half an hour to move one file from one location to another. Now, it takes 10 minutes."
"The product has the ability to handle high volumes of data efficiently."
"With SEEBURGER BIS, you can string as many different activities together in your workflows as you want. You can put them in any order, like a piece of code. One leads into the next, which leads into the next. It is just very flexible from that vantage point. This makes it so easy to use and reduces the number of moving parts that you need to have. It is just a lot less frustrating not having to conform to how some other vendor software works."
"Mapping Designer provides excellent flexibility."
"We can use it to script and monitor processes."
"We use Message Tracking, which is a very good feature. Message Tracking has about 300 to 400 business people who can find documents and ask the integration team about them. For example, they looking for a document that the vendor or trading partner tells them that they sent, but they don't see it in the ERP system yet. So, they go to SEEBURGER Message Tracking, which can tell them if we received it already from the outside and what happened, e.g., if it went to SEEBURGER BIS or if it's already in the ERP system. It's a very simple tool to use. They also can use that tool to see the source document."
"One valuable feature is the scalability. We have not had to add processing power or hardware since we installed it. Also, we are able to create and deploy maps to migrate from another EDI platform very quickly."
"With SAP Data Services, the problem arises when I try to connect to Azure Databricks."
"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."
"Integration with other products could be improved."
"The solution should offer more machine learning and automation."
"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."
"An area for improvement in SAP Data Services could involve making the product more accessible to non-technical end-users."
"The pricing of the solution should be improved."
"We are a little locked in with understanding the errors that we receive. We are working with their support to prevent these issues when they come into the database. We use a SQL database and believe they can do better when it comes working with large databases. We have had few instances where the system is hanging, which are most likely from the database. We are working with their support to find out the problem and fix their system. We have tried to use their notification system to prevent these issues, but they need to improve their monitoring system."
"Some of the functionality for retriggering documents, where you have to step through a termination process and then retrigger it, versus just being able to restart or retrigger more easily, is a bit challenging, depending on the scenario."
"Java is very old technology and they should move away from it, to anything that's better."
"There might be some improvements they could make to the portal, but they're not anything that stops me from working."
"A person whom I work with, and is not very technical, found the setup complex, as there are a lot of steps."
"They have their own private cloud. That's the reason we did not go ahead with managing everything by ourselves or moving into the cloud. They said that they're going to be doing it within the next two years, having access to Azure and AWS. That would be something we would like to see."
"We occasionally get ZIP files. Sometimes the ZIP file has one file inside of it, and sometimes the ZIP file might have 30 files inside of it. We have been working with SEEBURGER to enhance their PKUNZIP process to be able to unzip multiple files in a single workflow instead of just one file. This is still something that is in process."
"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."
