Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the business intelligence (BI) part of it.""It performs very well overall.""We are able to monitor daily jobs, so if there is anything that needs to be done then we can do it.""Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse provides good firewall processing in terms of response time.""​It has allowed fast daily loads and analysis of millions of rows of data, which eventually moved to near real-time.​""Collecting the data through SSIS packages from different sources and putting them all in one data repository is the most powerful thing. While others have this feature, they don't have the simplicity or ease of use when getting a resource and knowing everything about it.""The data transmissions between the data models is the most valuable feature.""The most valuable feature of this solution is performance."

More Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse Pros →

"It is a robust system.""It provides us with proof of data, we can centralize all of the information, check it, and then provide the information to our users.""A robust and efficient product.""Data modeling is a valuable feature.""The security and audit procedures are the most valuable features.""Transformation is a valuable feature of SAP NetWeaver. I can transform the data as per my needs or my client's needs. For example, flat tables can be transformed with respect to our requirements to combine multiple modules into one single table, and we can derive analytics.""It's an excellent over-all tool for managers to analyze their business."

Cons
"The query is slow if we don't optimize it.""The feature updates on the on-premise solution come very slowly, and it would be great if they came faster.""The solution is expensive and has room for improvement.""This solution would be improved with an option for in-memory data analysis.""The product does not have all of the features that the native products have.""More tools to help designers should be included.""I think that the error messages need to be made more specific.""It needs more compatibility with common BI tools."

More Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse Cons →

"It is difficult when your native language is not English. It is difficult for us to explain our issue and also difficult for the technical team to explain a resolution to us.""Connectors are complex, and it is difficult to understand or know which connector should be used. For instance, if I want to connect APIs, I will not be able to do it directly. I would have to go to the portal integration to get the data. Therefore, having simplified connectors will make things much easier.""Design and modeling could be simplified.""The program is difficult to learn to use""There are performance issues in terms of scalability and availability.""The product could provide more features.""I think more integration with other applications would be perfect."
