VP
Offers numerous prebuilt data quality plans that can be reused for various data cleansing tasks
We had many duplicates originating from different source systems. We were able to match and deduplicate a significant amount of data. Additionally, we could synchronize and write back the latest information to the systems that were out of sync, ensuring they had the most recent data. As a result, we could write back and update the source systems.
Ramesh Pampana - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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

Pros

"Works quickly to develop and deploy to production."
"Ibi Data Quality offers numerous prebuilt data quality plans that can be reused for various data cleansing tasks. Additionally, it provides a variety of prebuilt match and merge rules for performing master data management,"
"The maintenance of data services is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the logging capability."
"It's easy to understand and deploy. It's easy to create new applications, and depending on the complexity of the application, it is easy to deploy the new requirements."
"One of the most valuable features is that it is integrated."
"The most valuable feature is the ETL functionality."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"The product's most valuable features are data validation and rules."
"The reporting on the data, even from third-party software, is very good."
 

Cons

"Their data governance portal can be improved. It lacks data governance-related features. Also, PII and anomaly detection could be valuable use cases for ibi. Adding these features would be a great enhancement."
"Special integration support could be improved."
"They could make it easier to work with web services."
"Newer feature integration is lagging behind the company acquisitions and the product could do more to service a broader range of devices."
"It's an ETL that is very good with relational databases but not as good with files and semi-structured files."
"Integration with other products could be improved."
"There needs to be multi-language support, however, my understanding is they are working on multi-language now."
"The migration of the solution between different environments is quite complex."
"The support is poor because of the time and the knowledge of the support team."
"The skillset of data engineers matters a bit to use all the functionality of this solution. Otherwise, the delivery speed won't be faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is very reasonable."
"There is a one time purchase fee plus annual maintenance."
"The enterprise version of SAP Data Services is free."
"Pricing is good, there is no problem."
"Its pricing is as per the enterprise agreement and not a concern for us."
"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."
"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."
