Cons
"With SAP Data Services, the problem arises when I try to connect to Azure Databricks.""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.""Data Services SAP is lacking in sources and target databases compared to Informatica. SAP Data Services should have more connectivity.""The pricing of the solution should be improved.""Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome.""It will work fine only in an SAP environment. It could be said that the integration with other vendors could be better.""Integration with other products could be improved.""The initial setup is complex."
