Manager, SAP Practice at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
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.

"It is fully featured, has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do, is very easy to use and install, is pretty self-explanatory, and their support was also very good."
"The development is faster than SSIS or Talend."
"The fact that it's built on SQL, it makes it easy to write code. The database and the connection are quite smooth."
"The most valuable features of the solution are extraction and data transformations."
"SAP Data Services is a very general tool for SAP as a source and SAP as a destination, and it can also connect to any source and any destination, which is a very valuable aspect of the solution."
"The API tool in this product is very valuable; it is very easy to onboard and use."
"Once you have training on the solution, it is very important to explore the full potential of the product rather than jumping right into development."
"I have worked with Data Services for a long time, and currently, I find the dashboarding and reporting part to be the most valuable function."

Cons

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
"This is not a solution I recommend for incident management."
"Data Services SAP is lacking in sources and target databases compared to Informatica. SAP Data Services should have more connectivity."
"The technical support for this solution is not very good, they don't really care about assisting with issues."
"There needs to be multi-language support, however, my understanding is they are working on multi-language now."
"It's an ETL that is very good with relational databases but not as good with files and semi-structured files."
"The interface is not quite user-friendly and is in need of improvement."
"The migration of the solution between different environments is quite complex."
"I think it has a little trouble handling more users running parallel batch jobs in one job server but minimal."
