Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
The solution offers very good integration capabilities. The most valuable feature is the logging capability. The reporting on the data, even from third-party software, is very good. The maintenance of data services is the solution's most valuable feature. The HANA database, which is very fast, is a valuable feature. It is a powerful product with a broad range of features. The user interface is ok. The fact that it's built on SQL, it makes it easy to write code. The database and the connection are quite smooth. | The most valuable part of SAS/ACCESS is what it is made for: connecting to remote systems that are not part of your physical SAS environment. |
Cons | |
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. The interface is not quite user-friendly and is in need of improvement. The solution should offer more machine learning and automation. The pricing of the solution should be improved. Integration with other products could be improved. Newer feature integration is lagging behind the company acquisitions and the product could do more to service a broader range of devices. The initial setup is complex. The description of error messages isn't extensive, although they point to the problem. With other solutions, like Talend, I was able to use the debugger to get directly to the problem, but with SAP Data Services the debugger is not working. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the version specifically, but I'm using it in an enterprise environment and I can't do an upgrade. | The pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
The pricing is a little high to make the product more competetive in the marketplace. Pricing is good, there is no problem. | The pricing model is complex and is based on modular packages as well as the size of the applicable environment. |
