"The BA reporting tools, such as Data Services, and ETL tool in SAP Data Services are the most valuable. When we had in-memory requirements, we used HANA. HANA is most preferably for most the customers for in-memory. SAP is the first company that created the in-memory concept."
"Data Services' best features are its robustness and plug-and-play integration with other SAP applications."
"I appreciate having access to the SAP data."
"The product's most valuable features are data validation and rules."
"The API tool in this product is very valuable; it is very easy to onboard and use."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"Like most Microsoft products, SSIS is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The solution is easy to use and developer friendly."
"It is easy to set up. The deployment is also very quick."
"We can connect with multiple data sources easily using an external connector in SSIS."
"In SSIS, the scope is not only to handle ETL challenges, but it will allow us to do so many other tasks, such as DBA activities, scripting, calling any .exe or scripts, etc."
"It has a drag and drop feature that makes it easy to use. It has a good user experience because it takes into account your most-used tools and they're lined up nicely so you can just drag and drop without looking too far. It also integrates nicely with Microsoft."
"This solution is easy to implement, has a wide variety of connectors, has support for Visual Basic, and supports the C language."
"It has good data integration and good processes."
"The solution could improve the overall features. There is a lot that can be done in the solution, therefor there are areas where it can improve. Additionally, there is a need to make it easier for one to create connections to other non-SAP systems. The flexibility to connect to other non-SAP systems is needed."
"Scheduling of jobs in the sequence is not available. It's a very tedious process to do that particular task. If there was a tool to schedule in the sequence that would be extremely helpful."
"We encounter challenges while exporting implemented rules, such as those applied to objects like the material master, into a format like Excel for documentation and further analysis."
"The solution should offer more machine learning and automation."
"It's an ETL that is very good with relational databases but not as good with files and semi-structured files."
"There needs to be multi-language support, however, my understanding is they are working on multi-language now."
"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 of the solution should be improved."
"It's a legacy tool, that is nearing the end of its useful life."
"This solution needs full support for real-time processing."
"A change in the metadata source cripples the whole ETL process, requiring each module to be manually reopened."
"The debugging could be improved because when it came to solving the errors that I've experienced in the past, I've had to look at the documentation for more information."
"The high prices attached to the product can be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Performance could be better."
"At one point, we did have to purchase an add-on."
"I would like to see better technical documentation because many times information is missing."
