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.

Provides accurate data that is validated against a personalized reference tool
For most SAP customers, Information Steward is enough because it is able to build quality data rules to detect issues in the source systems like SAP HANA, Business Warehouse, or other systems. A business user can first organize their data into several data domains. For example, procurement, human resources, and logistics setup. The domains can build data quality dimensions where you can describe the kind of rule that you are going to use. The user then can immediately see if something is wrong with their data using traffic lights. Another great feature of SAP Information Steward is the accuracy that the content is followed by validating against the reference tool. With the solution, you are creating data quality dimensions. Within these dimensions, you are creating business data quality rules that are looking for specific fields. From these rules, you can create a scorecard. The scorecard will highlight the percentage of good data and ensure the user can feel confident that the data is accurate within predetermined limits. SAP tables have field names that are very cryptic, making them hard to understand the meaning of the fields. Metapedia helps describe these fields in business terms.

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 Data Cleansing and the scorecard dashboard are very valuable. Additionally, the financial aspect of SAP Information Steward is very good. When a rule is incorrect then it will show how much is it costing the business. These features are very valuable."
"The most valuable features are data quality insight, metadata management, and metadata dictionary."
"The solution is user-friendly even for those who are dealing with it for the first time."
"The solution is very fast."
"Setup is straightforward."
"The scorecard will highlight the percentage of good data and ensure the user can feel confident that the data is accurate within predetermined limits."

Cons

"SAP Information Steward could be improved by offering a cloud version of the product."

"SAP Information Steward is an expensive solution compared to others."
"SAP is a bit pricey, and better tools are available for a lower price."
"Performance could be improved."
