Provides self-repair features, but the setup is complex
We use the product for online applications. We use it in the financial industry The product has self-repair features. The tool tunes itself. It separates compute from storage. We can scale storage and compute separately. The setup is complex. Oracle is a complex tool. I have been using Oracle…

Project Manager - Analytics at Mindsprint
Can transform data per clients' needs and can easily distribute reports to end users
I would recommend looking at all of the solutions currently available and then decide. I would not immediately suggest going for SAP NetWeaver. Being able to transform the data according to my requirements is a crucial feature; the phasing layers are helpful to distinguish data with respect to a specific project; analytics and reporting are very feasible; and the distribution of reports to the end users is also very easy. However, connectors need to be simplified, and technical support needs to be improved. Thus, on a scale from one to ten, I would rate SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse at eight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is an extremely scalable solution since you can dynamically change the resources as some other cloud solutions."
"One advantage is that if you already have an Oracle Database, it easily integrates with that."
"The performance and scalability are awesome."
"It is a very stable tool...It is an extremely scalable tool."
"The product is easy to use."
"The solution has a self-backup, so you don't need a DBA (database administrator) to do a backup."
"I really like the auto-tuning, auto-scaling, and the automatic load balancing and query tuning in the system."
"I highly recommend it for companies who want to test their application functionality, dev, or test DBs for cost optimization."
"Prior to implementing SAP, I used some local ERPs but finally, I found this to be the most powerful platform."
"It's an excellent over-all tool for managers to analyze their business."
"We are an airline and use the system for data modeling and data warehousing, and we implement it for time performance and feedback analysis."
"Data cleansed and harmonization. It provides us with proof of data, we can centralize all of the information, check it, and then provide the information to our users."
"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."
"A robust and efficient product."
"The security and audit procedures are the most valuable features."
"This is a very robust and efficient product, and it's very powerful, in particular when it comes to data management in the SAP system."
 

Cons

"Optimization should be better."
"The initial setup was pretty complex. It was not easy."
"Ease of interconnectivity could be improved by which I mean setting up the VPN access and the like from on-premises to cloud."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is not available as an on-premises solution."
"Oracle should increase visibility options because what's available now is limited."
"The solution could be improved by allowing for migration tools from other cloud services, including migration from Amazon Redshift, RDS, and Aurora."
"They should make the solution more user-friendly."
"The solution lacks visibility options."
"The complexity of this data warehouse application is huge and makes it tough to manage and deploy it. In general, it requires a lot of know-how and time which makes it expensive to deliver fast answers."
"The solution could be improved by simplifying the modeling and the design. We're faced with too many options and too many object types."
"The program is difficult to learn to use"
"There are performance issues in terms of scalability and availability."
"I think more integration with other applications would be perfect."
"People using SAP BW have to undergo some training to be able to use the product. Complexity can be reduced and could be made a bit more user-friendly."
"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."
"The setup needs skilled resources in SAP BW. A lack of trained resources can create serious problems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is perfect with Oracle Universal credit."
"The licensing cost of the product can vary since you can integrate it very easily with other products or other cloud products...You pay as you use it, so it is not yearly or monthly payments to be made toward Oracle."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing an eight."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"You pay as you go, and you don't pay for services that you don't use."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse's pricing is fair and reasonable compared to the other cloud vendors."
"In terms of architecture and pricing structure, I feel it is a little bit costly compared to Azure. It's fine compared to RedShift, but compared to Azure, it's a bit pricey when you calculate for one TB storage plus around five hours of reporting with the frequency of 1TB data. The cost adds up, making Oracle a bit expensive."
"We pay approximately $70,000 per month. The cost includes maintenance and support."
"The licensing cost is high for SAP NetWeaver compared to that for other products."
"All SAP products are expensive."
"Pricing is based on the number of user IDs and tyhe user ID works across a suite of products."
