Data pipelines have saved time and improve accuracy for daily operations and projects
I believe Hevo can be improved by preparing some guidelines or a manual that any database engineer or related professional can utilize for day-to-day activity. If the support is connected or easily accessible, that could be an improvement. In addition to the points I mentioned, I think AI compatibility is crucial, as everything is becoming more advanced these days, so if that feature has been advanced or upgraded, it would be beneficial. I find the accuracy of Hevo's output to be better, though it can still be improved. I don't have any other improvements needed for Hevo beyond the documentation, support access, and advanced AI capabilities I've mentioned.

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

"Hevo positively impacted my organization by allowing us to move data quickly and easily, enabling us to focus on our real challenge: performing analytics and reporting out of Snowflake with all customer data centralized despite using various applications."
"My advice for anyone in database roles, such as administrators, data engineers, or analysts, is to start using Hevo to save time."
"Hevo has positively impacted my organization by ensuring excellent usage of collected data, which is utilized in various workflows, including sales and marketing and customer relationship management, ultimately helping me serve clients better."
"Its integration capabilities and the data migration capabilities are the most valuable. It is very good for SAP and non-SAP tools. It has very good integration with SAP, but it also has the capabilities to connect to other systems. We find it very helpful and stable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are extraction and data transformations."
"Data Services is extremely stable and stability information steward is considerably higher in version 4.2 than it was at the initial version 4.0."
"I appreciate having access to the SAP data."
"The HANA database, which is very fast, is a valuable feature."
"The development is faster than SSIS or Talend."
"The most valuable feature is the ETL functionality."
"The logic is also simple. It makes it easy to build your extraction."
 

Cons

"There are areas where Hevo could improve, particularly regarding its cost structure, as the pricing is based on usage and the advanced features can become costly for startups that are not well-established."
"Hevo could be improved as we hit limits, particularly when it couldn't keep up with the high number of databases we wanted to sync frequently—ideally updating everything hourly for near real-time analytics rather than a day behind."
"I find the accuracy of Hevo's output to be better, though it can still be improved."
"The solution shows a lack of cloud support data services."
"For new product implementations, there is a super high level of customization required, especially where data ingestion and SLA requirements are very demanding, which is where we see the need for improvement in SAP Data Services."
"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."
"It would be nice if this solution was a bit easier to move from development to production."
"They could make it easier to work with web services."
"The interface of SAP Data Services is still easy to use, but it is also dated as things are evolving."
"Error logging is very cryptic."
"SAP Data Services should be made a web-based solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The enterprise version of SAP Data Services is free."
"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."
"Its pricing is as per the enterprise agreement and not a concern for us."
"Speaking about prices, Oracle and SAP are market leaders. So, the prices are more."
"It's relatively expensive compared to other vendors, but it is competitive."
"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."
"The price is very reasonable."
"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."
