Pros
"The basic functionality is quite good as is the basic logic and data information.""The reporting on the data, even from third-party software, is very good.""Its integration capabilities and the data migration capabilities are the most valuable. It is very good for SAP and non-SAP tools. It has very good integration with SAP, but it also has the capabilities to connect to other systems. We find it very helpful and stable.""The HANA database, which is very fast, is a valuable feature.""The feature of SAP Data Services has enhanced our company's business processes because we are able to run around 800 jobs in areas like data extraction and transaction objects.""The logic is also simple.

Cons
"It's an ETL that is very good with relational databases but not as good with files and semi-structured files.""Newer feature integration is lagging behind the company acquisitions and the product could do more to service a broader range of devices.""Integration with other products could be improved.""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.""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.""At the integration level, there could be certain set of improvement to connect to various other systems.""It will work fine only in an SAP environment. It could be said that the integration with other vendors could be better.""Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."

More SAP Data Services Cons →

"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs.""The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution.""The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components.""You cannot include the validation of XPath.""I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version.""The integration capabilities need to be improved.""The customization can be a bit difficult."
