"This is the best tool for hosts and it's really flexible and scalable."
"Amazon EMR is a good solution that can be used to manage big data."
"In Amazon EMR it is easy to rebuild anything, easy to upgrade and has good fault tolerance."
"What I like most about SAP Business Warehouse is its ability to feed data into new, multiple systems in various formats. It can open its data to any system over gateway services or a portal or application that needs to consume and analyze data."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the advanced structuring of data capabilities. You can get different structures of data to suit your needs."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its capabilities to connect to Excel and to slice and dice."
"The warehouse is the solution's most valuable feature."

"The product's features for storing data in static clusters could be better."
"The most complicated thing is configuring to the cluster and ensure it's running correctly."
"The advanced structuring can be complicated and the interface is not very intuitive."
"We are very unhappy with technical support. First of all, they send their sales agents or pre-sales agents and most of them who don't know the solution as a properly trained tech would. We have an on-site SAP representative who is supposed to help us with our high priority and production issues, and they're not satisfactory to say the least."
"Areas for improvement in SAP Business Warehouse include enhancing scheduling and monitoring tools, as well as improving communication about hidden features to make them more accessible to users."
"SAP Business Warehouse could integrate better with other ETL tools."
"More integration with Microsoft Office products (not just Excel) would be helpful."
"The solution could offer better connectivity with other databases."
"It takes more work to get the data, including reporting on that data, because some coding is required, and a significant level of transformation is needed when using SAP Business Warehouse."
"There is room for improvement from a technical perspective."
