Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"DataStage allows me to connect to different data sources.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine or ten out of ten.""The most valuable features are data virtualization and reporting.""It is a scalable solution, and we have had no issues with its scalability in our company. I rate the solution's scalability a nine out of ten.""Cloud Pak's most valuable features are IBM MQ, IBM App Connect, IBM API Connect, and ISPF.""What I found most helpful in IBM Cloud Pak for Data is containerization, which means it's easy to shift and leave in terms of moving to other clouds. That's an advantage of IBM Cloud Pak for Data.""The most valuable features of IBM Cloud Pak for Data are the Watson Studio, where we can initiate more groups and write code. Additionally, Watson Machine Learning is available with many other services, such as APIs which you can plug the machine learning models.""Its data preparation capabilities are highly valuable."

"This product provides good reports using a single pane of glass.""Data consistency is also a notable feature; the system takes care of data consistency, so you don't need to handle it manually.""For report scheduling, I always prefer SAP because it has the most powerful scheduling features, like sending reports to more than 1,000 customers per day. That option is not as good in Microsoft BI and in Tableau it only exists as an add-on option.""What I like best about this solution is that it is built into the SAP line, making it easier to integrate with other SAP products.""SAP Analytics Hub offers a user-friendly interface with effortless configuration, seamless updates, and real-time availability of information. It avoids the complexities associated with batch processing, providing a smooth and efficient experience."

Cons
"Cloud Pak would be improved with integration with cloud service providers like Cloudera.""The interface could improve because sometimes it becomes slow. Sometimes there is a delay between clicks when using the software, which can make the development process slow. It can take a few seconds to complete one action, and then a few more seconds to do the next one.""The solution could have more connectors.""The solution's user experience is an area that has room for improvement.""The product is trying to be more maturity in terms of connectors. That, I believe, is an area where Cloud Pak can improve.""The technical support could be a little better.""The product must improve its performance.""The tool depends on the control plane, an OpenShift container platform utilized as an orchestration layer...So, we have communicated this issue to IBM and asked if it is feasible to adapt the solution to work on a Kubernetes platform that we support."

"Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub.""The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience.""The analytics part of SAP has not been that good up until now. They're still in the infant stage and development is still going on. SAP has some cloud analytics and they're trying to configure it in Lumira, but it's not that good at this point.""Pricing and support are integrated into the system. However, the support process can be challenging, particularly when navigating the SAP support site, which lacks user-friendliness and ease of access.""The technical support for Analytics Hub is limited and could be improved."

  • "Cloud Pak's cost is a little high."
  • "IBM Cloud Pak for Data is expensive. If we include the training time and the machine learning, it's expensive. The cost of the execution is more reasonable."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:DataStage allows me to connect to different data sources.
    Top Answer:The product must improve its performance. We see typical cloud-related issues in the solution. IBM can still focus more on keeping the performance up and keeping it 100% available all the time.
