It meets the needs of organizations requiring cloud-native architecture, support for large-scale SAP and non-SAP integrations, elastic compute and storage capabilities, and enterprise-grade governance.
Firmware Developer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

After every change and every match and merge rule you apply, you need to reprocess the entire record, which has to again go through the match and merge rules.

On the other hand, it is perfectly fitting to the SAP environment, with seamless integration to all SAP modules, not only ERP but also SuccessFactors and other tools from the SAP family.

If SAP can come up with innovative options to reduce licensing costs, many customers would incline toward SAP Business Data Cloud.
Principal Architect at a tech consulting company with 501-1,000 employees
If I compare the cost with SAP competitors, I find that when creating an enterprise data lake, if I don't use SAP Business Data Cloud and make it directly in the hyperscalers, it is pretty much cheaper than doing the same in SAP Business Data Cloud.
Director & Co Owner at INFRABEAT TECHNOLOGIES PVT LTD
 

Setup Cost

Ataccama ONE Platform's pricing is diverse, with setup costs potentially costly, while lacking a support contract might save money.
SAP Business Data Cloud is valued for integration but criticized for high costs and lack of pricing transparency.
What made the costing a problem with Ataccama ONE Platform is related to licensing, as it is every one year.
data engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
The only concern I had was that some features like address validation cost a little extra with the basic plan.
Data Governance Analyst at Entain India
I have heard that the licensing and setup costs are quite high, especially if we try to connect for a support call.

From a planning license perspective, SAC on that side is very expensive if you need developer features.

Valuable Features

Ataccama ONE Platform enhances data quality and efficiency through automation, integration, and user-friendly tools across diverse environments.
SAP Business Data Cloud offers user-friendly analytics, AI integration, real-time reporting, and zero-copy data sharing for efficient management.
We were able to interface bidirectionally with Collibra for data governance, catching data quality issues before propagating through the system.
Senior Architect at SourcEdge
It is very good in scalability.
Data Engineer lV at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Ataccama ONE Platform has positively impacted our organization because before its implementation, completing tasks such as more than 100 or thousands of rules took more than a week. Now, we complete those tasks in less than two or three days due to the automation and one-time task capability.
Data Analyst, Quality Assurance Specialist at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
For SuccessFactors and S/4HANA Cloud, there are pre-built reports available which are commonly used by customers.

Featured Reviews

Akhil Danturti - PeerSpot reviewer
Data Governance Analyst at Entain India
Streamlines reusable data quality rules and has highlighted the need for richer logic and documentation
I worked in Ataccama ONE Platform from version 5 and now we have version 15, which has improved a lot. However, there is still considerable scope for improvement because Ataccama ONE Platform was not that great around 2020 when I started working with it. There can still be more features including writing any logic, improving more keywords for logic building, and enhancing address validation, based on my understanding. User experience is actually good; I do not have any complaints or feedback on that. However, the documentation part can be improved because documentation is key for any organization or tool. If anything is needed for understanding, you have to rely on documentation. Ataccama's documentation has potential for improvement.
Pavlina Pankova - PeerSpot reviewer
Competence Leader - BI at Sabris CZ s.r.o.
Brings reporting, planning, and prediction together in one seamless workflow
I think the areas of SAP Analytics Cloud that could be improved or enhanced are mentioned by users or companies, and they would definitely mention the price in terms of planning licensing. From a consulting point of view, I don't see any major weaknesses. It is reasonably well-developed, and the perfect strength is that innovations are coming on a quarterly basis. It is slightly behind other tools in terms of the number of graphical outputs. Some tools have it faster, but every increment of innovations contains new features. On the other hand, it is perfectly fitting to the SAP environment, with seamless integration to all SAP modules, not only ERP but also SuccessFactors and other tools from the SAP family, for example, integrated business planning for the production planning. This is really a highlight compared to other tools.
