We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience.""We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done.""It speeds up the performance in terms of how fast you are able to access the data, look at it, get it reported to you, and send it to somebody. It also reduces the amount of storage.""SAP is renovating different things. We are using external tools to connect as of now. It is going well, and now the new generation integration platforms are going to be pretty easy."

More SAP Replication Server Pros →

"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ease of access to the data in those databases.""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.""The most valuable feature is you have native access to the external databases."

More SAS Access Pros →

Cons
"The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades.""Improvement is a never ending story, and HANA is doing some improvements. We are able to adopt that, and we have to do it by integration with HANA. They are very major changes that we need to see.""There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support.""I would like to see it become mobile-friendly."

More SAP Replication Server Cons →

"The pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted.""I can't really recall any missing feature or general improvement that is needed. We don't really add too many new kinds of databases and therefore our needs are already met.""The solution can provide access to the newer databases that come out sooner."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's a very expensive solution."
  • "You can pick one of the hosted cloud services as opposed to owning it and doing it yourself. Your cost of ownership on the hardware, the data storage, and the maintenance all go down. It depends on what service you use."
  • More SAP Replication Server Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing model is complex and is based on modular packages as well as the size of the applicable environment."
  • "The solution's pricing and licensing are expensive."

    Overview

    Information and data-driven insight is what powers business today. But to get the most from your enterprise data, you need a way to bring transactional, streaming, social media, and other data together – regardless of its format and whether it’s structured or unstructured – and be able to analyze it. The challenge is moving, replicating, and centralizing a wide variety of data efficiently, cost-effectively, and quickly enough to meet business demands for active insight. SAP® Replication Server® can help. SAP Replication Server enables the continuous movement of mission-critical application data.

    SAS/ACCESS is an out-of-the-box solution for integrating SAS and third-party databases. You can read, write and update data regardless of the database or platform. Because the data appears native to SAS, there is no need to learn Structured Query Language (SQL) or any other database-specific query languages.
