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.

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

"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 solution is easy to use since it's a graphical tool. It also requires only low-level coding."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the scheduling part."
"The basic functionality is quite good as is the basic logic and data information."
"The most valuable features of the solution are extraction and data transformations."
"The most valuable feature is the logging capability."
"The best advantages of SAP Data Services are the good scalability and high customer satisfaction."
"The fact that it's built on SQL, it makes it easy to write code. The database and the connection are quite smooth."
 

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."
"The support is poor because of the time and the knowledge of the support team."
"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."
"It will work fine only in an SAP environment. It could be said that the integration with other vendors could be better."
"They could make it easier to work with web services."
"The solution could improve the overall features. There is a lot that can be done in the solution, therefor there are areas where it can improve. Additionally, there is a need to make it easier for one to create connections to other non-SAP systems. The flexibility to connect to other non-SAP systems is needed."
"The pricing of the solution should be improved."
"We would like the different tools offered within this solution to be available as standalone entities, rather than having to purchase the entire package when we only require a few features."
"Data Services SAP is lacking in sources and target databases compared to Informatica. SAP Data Services should have more connectivity."
