Centralized monitoring has improved data quality and now keeps daily reporting reliable
What I like most about Decube are the data quality monitoring, pipeline monitoring, and alerting features. It makes it easier to spot issues early, track data freshness, and understand what's going wrong without having to manually check everything. The alerting features in Decube are really helpful because I don't have to keep checking everything manually. If a pipeline fails, data is delayed, or something unusual happens, Decube notifies me so I can look into it quickly. It saves time and helps me catch small issues before they affect our reports or daily work. Decube brings useful monitoring tools together, saves manual effort, and makes it easier to maintain reliable data pipelines with fewer surprises.

Integration has become more robust and seamless
SAP Data Services is mainly used for extraction of data, and it works with all databases. The flows and everything are configured effectively. One of the most valuable features is that it is integrated. Compared to the past, it is much more robust and easier to use. The only issue is that documentation is not up to the mark. The data quality management features support our business because we can fetch anything based on the requirements. Before, we used to have a tough time getting data, but now, with HANA and all these tools, it is seamless.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Decube brings useful monitoring tools together, saves manual effort, and makes it easier to maintain reliable data pipelines with fewer surprises."
"The data lineage chart is definitely helpful because it allows us to traverse how data flows from the source to the report layer, providing full visibility of how the system works."
"The basic functionality is quite good as is the basic logic and data information."
"Scalability is good in extending the features in terms of data warehouse scalability."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"Data Services' table comparison mechanism is very powerful. It's pretty hard to find a similar feature in other solutions."
"The user interface is ok."
"You can always manipulate a lot of things as long as you have the skill level."
"I appreciate having access to the SAP data."
"SAP works well for the financial side of the business, but for anybody who is researching solutions for incident management, I suggest that they use another product."
 

Cons

"Decube could improve by offering more customizable alerts, a simpler dashboard, faster setup, and clearer troubleshooting suggestions when pipeline issues occur."
"There are a few drawbacks to the product. If I delete any record, it is not immediate and does not allow me to create the assets again."
"This is not a solution I recommend for incident management."
"The solution should improve connectivity with more source systems and target systems."
"The description of error messages isn't extensive, although they point to the problem. With other solutions, like Talend, I was able to use the debugger to get directly to the problem, but with SAP Data Services the debugger is not working. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the version specifically, but I'm using it in an enterprise environment and I can't do an upgrade."
"The technical support for this solution is not very good, they don't really care about assisting with issues."
"There are still a lot of glitches with SAP Data Services as of now."
"Sudden crashing of DS making unsaved changes lost, happens usually when logged in for a long amount of time."
"Technical Support: Needs improvement as far as responsiveness."
"Some of the jobs that are built within Data Services require local files, and during initial deployment, those local files cannot be transported between machines simply because of security issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of SAP Data Services is a little high when compared to other solutions. Due to the pricing and capabilities, many clients are switching to other solutions."
"I rate the product price as one or two on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"It's relatively expensive compared to other vendors, but it is competitive."
"The enterprise version of SAP Data Services is free."
"The product’s on-premise version is expensive for a medium-sized company."
"There is a one time purchase fee plus annual maintenance."
"The license price is expensive but medium to large-scale companies, should be able to afford it. Other solutions, such as Talend are easier to afford for smaller companies. Depending on the sources of the data where you are receiving your data you could be paying for more than one license."
"At the entry level, if you're using it only for data integration, it is a little bit cheap. However, for large organizations it can be expensive. There are additional costs apart from the license."
