Featured Reviews

reviewer2759967 - PeerSpot reviewer
Co-CEO at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Has accelerated AI experimentation and simplified transition from prototype to production at scale
The Karini team is responsive and continuously innovating. Scaling this responsiveness is critical to meet the rapid development of generative AI technologies. Karini’s Forward-Deployed Engineers provide instant feedback to Karini’s engineers, and the deployment of enhancements or novel developments continues to keep pace with the overall acceptance of our customers. I expect that demand will intensify quickly, and Karini’s capability to provide near-real-time enhancements is critical to our ability to meet that demand.
Ramesh Pampana - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Karini GenAI allowed us to achieve our goals to solve a customer problem, deliver value, and provide a successful entry point into our GenAI journey."
"The Karini team understands how to operationalize sophisticated GenAI business solutions at enterprise scale, allowing for rapid experimentation that does not require staffing up with data scientists, machine learning specialists, or AI practitioners."
"I appreciate having access to the SAP data."
"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."
"If they want to be on an equal level in the data analyst field, this is one of the finest tools."
"The most valuable feature is the logging capability."
"Data Services is extremely stable and stability information steward is considerably higher in version 4.2 than it was at the initial version 4.0."
"The fact that it's built on SQL, it makes it easy to write code. The database and the connection are quite smooth."
"The feature of SAP Data Services has enhanced our company's business processes because we are able to run around 800 jobs in areas like data extraction and transaction objects."
"The SAP Data Services EE License has all the additional products for enterprise wide data delivery, like Information Steward, Event Stream Processing, etc."
 

Cons

"Karini is still expanding its list of features. As we add new features, additional connections and technologies around AI must be incorporated to ensure we stay current and continue to improve our platform."
"Scaling this responsiveness is critical to meet the rapid development of generative AI technologies."
"It's an ETL that is very good with relational databases but not as good with files and semi-structured files."
"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 pricing of the solution should be improved."
"We used a different repository for every consultant and it created problems to maintain the final version of each dataflow in every user."
"We encounter challenges while exporting implemented rules, such as those applied to objects like the material master, into a format like Excel for documentation and further analysis."
"I have several issues with this solution. The embedded features that SAP Data Services offers are not enough for me to implement everything that I want."
"The interface is not quite user-friendly and is in need of improvement."
"At the integration level, there could be certain set of improvement to connect to various other systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is very reasonable."
"At the entry level, if you're using it only for data integration, it is a little bit cheap. However, for large organizations it can be expensive. There are additional costs apart from the license."
"The product’s on-premise version is expensive for a medium-sized company."
"Speaking about prices, Oracle and SAP are market leaders. So, the prices are more."
"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."
"Its pricing is as per the enterprise agreement and not a concern for us."
"The pricing is a little high to make the product more competetive in the marketplace."
"I rate the product price as one or two on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
