We performed a comparison between SAP Data Services vs SAP Process Orchestration based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: The main difference between the two solutions is that SAP Data Services users find deployment to be complex. In addition, SAP Data Services users say the solution needs better connectivity. For these reasons, SAP Process Orchestration is the preferred solution.
"The solution is easy to use since it's a graphical tool. It also requires only low-level coding."
"I appreciate having access to the SAP data."
"The logic is also simple. It makes it easy to build your extraction."
"The basic functionality is quite good as is the basic logic and data information."
"You can always manipulate a lot of things as long as you have the skill level."
"The user interface is ok."
"It is a powerful product with a broad range of features."
"The product's most valuable features are data validation and rules."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless integration with backend systems."
"The solution is stable."
"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."
"SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location. One of the most beneficial areas is monitoring which is very easy because it is all in one place. There are many adapters added recently that can be used for new functionality. The solution is easy to operate and it is more mature than the cloud solution provided by SAP."
"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."
"The main benefit is that the solution is low maintenance. Moreover, it's the license cost is very low because it's part of the package. The maintenance is standard maintenance. And the updates are regular. So there's a regular update and you can choose whether you want to do those updates or not."
"With SAP Data Services, the problem arises when I try to connect to Azure Databricks."
"There should be some kind of enhancement that can be done on the admin side of certain sites where we can assign the roles and responsibilities. We should be able to control who is using the tool and how."
"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."
"In the future, Data Services should offer a cloud version."
"The migration of the solution between different environments is quite complex."
"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."
"The solution should offer more machine learning and automation."
"Data Services SAP is lacking in sources and target databases compared to Informatica. SAP Data Services should have more connectivity."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."
"The solution could improve by making it more user-friendly by limiting the code required. We have to add some code in some cases where we need complex logic or some other functions. If this was able to be done in a more simplified manner then it would save a lot of effort and time."
"The solution needs to move to the cloud."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."
"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."
