Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."The process of using the tool's scalability option is well documented."
"The solution is easy to use since it's a graphical tool. It also requires only low-level coding."
"The user interface is ok."
"I like how SAP Data Services links reporting and data integration. That's what's most interesting. You also have the opportunity to leverage the power of the Data Services server."
"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."
"You can always manipulate a lot of things as long as you have the skill level."
"The product's most valuable features are data validation and rules."
"Data Services' table comparison mechanism is very powerful. It's pretty hard to find a similar feature in other solutions."
"The most valuable feature is the logging capability."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Lake's setup process was complex since it doesn't support a lot of real-time systems."
"The execution engines and processing engines have shortcomings and need improvements."
"I want some more business intelligence applications. People need to know more and more about data, including the transformation rules, etc. Informatica is a better product for data cataloging. SAP should update the data catalog."
"The solution shows a lack of cloud support data services."
"An area for improvement in SAP Data Services could involve making the product more accessible to non-technical end-users."
"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."
"It's an ETL that is very good with relational databases but not as good with files and semi-structured files."
"Some of the jobs that are built within Data Services require local files, and during initial deployment, those local files cannot be transported between machines simply because of security issues."
"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."
