I am Microstrategy BI developer with 6 years experience and with 1 year experience on SAP Data Services.
SAP Data Services Review
The initial setup was straightforward and complex projects are in the pipeline.
For how long have I used the solution?
How are customer service and technical support?
Out of 5, I would give SAP Data Services technical support a 4.5. The technical support from SAP was quick and technically very clear. The way the issues are being reviewed and the response we receive are great.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
The first ETL tool being implemented is SAP Data Services and it was implemented during 2008.
What about the implementation team?
The product was implemented by a third party consulting company. The implementation was good from a technical perspective, but there were few flaws in the business logic which the third party consulting team should have gained from the in-house business analysts.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Since I recently joined a year ago, I am not sure whether any other tool was evaluated along with this ETL tool.
What other advice do I have?
I would advise implementing SAP Data services using a Unix platform rather than a windows platform.
Disclosure: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.
