Pros
"This solution is extremely flexible and scalable.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The integration with different technologies is the most valuable feature.""IBM InfoSphere Information Server is stable."

More IBM InfoSphere Information Server Pros →

"SAP Analytics Hub offers a user-friendly interface with effortless configuration, seamless updates, and real-time availability of information. It avoids the complexities associated with batch processing, providing a smooth and efficient experience.""What I like best about this solution is that it is built into the SAP line, making it easier to integrate with other SAP products.""This product provides good reports using a single pane of glass.""For report scheduling, I always prefer SAP because it has the most powerful scheduling features, like sending reports to more than 1,000 customers per day. That option is not as good in Microsoft BI and in Tableau it only exists as an add-on option.""Data consistency is also a notable feature; the system takes care of data consistency, so you don't need to handle it manually."

Cons
"There are certain shortcomings in the cloud side of the solution, where improvements are required.""Their technical support needs improvement.""IBM InfoSphere Information Server should be more scalable. It should have the option to change the configuration to run on a single, non-multiple node, or multi-threading processing.""This solution would benefit from the engine being made more lightweight."

More IBM InfoSphere Information Server Cons →

"The technical support for Analytics Hub is limited and could be improved.""Pricing and support are integrated into the system. However, the support process can be challenging, particularly when navigating the SAP support site, which lacks user-friendliness and ease of access.""The analytics part of SAP has not been that good up until now. They're still in the infant stage and development is still going on. SAP has some cloud analytics and they're trying to configure it in Lumira, but it's not that good at this point.""Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub.""The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience."
