AS
IT Consultant at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
Automation and lineage visibility have transformed how our teams schedule and monitor ETL workflows
There are multiple products from Dagster Labs: Dagster Cloud, Dagster Labs, and sometimes it is quite confusing to choose which one for what purposes. I know there are some licensing buckets for small organizations, medium organizations, and bigger organizations, so the modeling and the cost estimation part could be more intuitive, making it easier for beginners to understand how much time and money they would save by onboarding Dagster Labs in their project. I deducted two points because I faced some challenges working with the Git repository integration with Dagster Labs due to some security keys or some weird issue. I had to get in a call with Dagster Labs subject matter expert, and we really struggled for two to three weeks because we could not establish the secure connection through that.

Manager, SAP Practice at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Has consistently provided impressive data handling capabilities and robust security features
Some of the most valuable features of SAP Data Services include data extraction where SAP is the best in that perspective, but when it comes to analytics or the reporting tool, I prefer to connect with Microsoft Power BI, which is a fantastic tool. Typically, from an end-user perspective, SAP has a huge amount of data, in terms of terabytes of data, but when you analyze that, the best form of visualization is always through Microsoft Power BI. SAP Data Services provides a best-in-class return on investment, as SAP's vision and forecast are absolutely amazing. They are ahead of technology, building an ecosystem that meets the standards of the fast-changing digital economy. SAP is indeed good at all this now, with so many components such as SAP Signavio, SAP EINS, SAP Work Zone, SAP ALM, Cloud ALM, SAP public cloud, SAP private cloud, and BTP, all of which are essential to meet the latest cutting-edge technologies.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Since automating with Dagster Labs, I save around 90% of manual effort."
"Dagster Labs has impacted my organization positively by enabling faster project delivery since it has reduced a lot of manual efforts, especially the manual scheduling part."
"Dagster Labs has positively impacted my organization because whenever there is a change in the data, it becomes easy for me to schedule the job, run the changes, and make changes to be imported to the slowly changing dimension tables."
"As a product, it is one of the best I have had the pleasure to work with."
"Dagster Labs has provided a good sense of the data pipeline I have been using, and I have started to trust it even more because I have full confidence in whether it has been updated correctly and if it has failed."
"Dagster Labs has positively impacted our organization by making it much easier to create data pipelines, helping us create new use cases, and allowing us to transform all of the data we have into features, which Dagster Labs has greatly assisted with."
"Data Services is pretty solid."
"SAP is a very powerful system and definitely first class for big companies."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"We have integration with 30 different systems now, business users' manual data-entry load has decreased, and data between different systems are consistent in almost-real time."
"The BA reporting tools, such as Data Services, and ETL tool in SAP Data Services are the most valuable."
"Customer Service: 100% as no manual intervention is required once the solution is implemented."
"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 HANA database, which is very fast, is a valuable feature."
 

Cons

"There are many ways Dagster Labs can be improved. I believe the UI is very slow and it prevents loading state."
"Dagster Labs is currently providing a Dagster University course, but those offerings are somewhat high-level."
"Additionally, the billing for Dagster Labs Cloud Plus is somewhat restrictive regarding the number of seats, which often pushes users towards the enterprise plan."
"I deducted two points because I faced some challenges working with the Git repository integration with Dagster Labs due to some security keys or some weird issue."
"One major issue I see with Dagster Labs is with retrying the pipeline; of course, there is a retry of the pipeline available in case it fails, but it starts from the beginning at the first step."
"The solution lacks user-friendly features; compared to other integration tools I've used before, it's less user-friendly and the built-in features just aren't sufficient."
"Regarding the pricing for SAP Data Services, I think it's on the higher side. Now, they are coming up with many pricing options, which is tricky; they offer one thing for free, but charge for nine others."
"Technical Support: Needs improvement as far as responsiveness."
"The solution should offer more machine learning and automation."
"There are still a lot of glitches with SAP Data Services as of now."
"The support is poor because of the time and the knowledge of the support team."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other analysis tools."
"It would be nice if this solution was a bit easier to move from development to production."
