"This is a comprehensive solution that is easy to deploy."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is that we can transform a huge amount of data and apply business logic as per the requirements."

"The ability to instantly pull data is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are the speed of reporting and the HANA database."

"From a technical perspective, Big Data Appliance could be improved with more innovation in the AI and machine-learning parts instead of relying on Cloudera."
"I cannot integrate it with my other tools. It's not possible to do something in the predictive analysis. Mobile reporting is also not available."
"The licensing cost could be made better."
"In the next release, I would like to see their BI component introduced with a mobile version, as it is not currently present."
"It's complicated to use. You need to spend a lot of time learning about it. The interface could be improved. It's not intuitive to build a data model and use their ETL tools."
"If I want to have good reporting, then I have to buy a separate license."
"Support could be more reliable."
"There's one area where the other vendors have an upper edge, which is the data lake. I think SAP is trying to figure out whether to stick with IQ, their own data lake solution, or push customers toward customer-preferred vendors, like Azure Data Lake, AWS, or any other provider."
"The dashboard should be simplified and made easier for exploration and decision making."
