Integration and security have improved, but search functionality and clarity of future direction need enhancement

The search function in SAP Analytics Hub is not effective. When speaking about integration with various analytic sources, for example, if I wanted to send the data from SAP BW or B4HANA to a data lake, we used to earlier use the Open Data Hub or Analytics Hub. Nowadays, we are using the Data Sphere integrators available with Amazon, Azure, and Google Cloud. The search capability could be better, and SAP needs to come out with a clear roadmap for the solution going ahead, as they have not yet provided that.

Foolproof stability and robust system

SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience. One of its notable features is real-time replication, which ensures that data changes are replicated immediately. This is particularly advantageous when we need to execute full processes promptly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For report scheduling, I always prefer SAP because it has the most powerful scheduling features, like sending reports to more than 1,000 customers per day. That option is not as good in Microsoft BI and in Tableau it only exists as an add-on option."

"SAP Analytics Hub offers a user-friendly interface with effortless configuration, seamless updates, and real-time availability of information. It avoids the complexities associated with batch processing, providing a smooth and efficient experience."

"Data consistency is also a notable feature; the system takes care of data consistency, so you don't need to handle it manually."

"This product provides good reports using a single pane of glass."

"The platform's main benefit is its integration with SAP ERP data. It’s effective for data integration and integrity."

"What I like best about this solution is that it is built into the SAP line, making it easier to integrate with other SAP products."

"As a partner, I can mention something positive about SAP Analytics Hub: its products are tightly integrated, so the business context of data is retained in the analytics solution, and that's the main advantage."

"SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience."

"SAP is renovating different things. We are using external tools to connect as of now. It is going well, and now the new generation integration platforms are going to be pretty easy."

"It's pretty good at handling replication, even under high load. It also provides cross-database replication, for example, from Sybase to Oracle."

"It speeds up the performance in terms of how fast you are able to access the data, look at it, get it reported to you, and send it to somebody. It also reduces the amount of storage."

"We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done."

Cons

"The platform could easily integrate with other ERP data solutions. Additionally, it should be faster compared to competitors in the cloud space."

"The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience."

"The search capability could be better, and SAP needs to come out with a clear roadmap for the solution going ahead, as they have not yet provided that."

"The analytics part of SAP has not been that good up until now. They're still in the infant stage and development is still going on. SAP has some cloud analytics and they're trying to configure it in Lumira, but it's not that good at this point."

"The technical support for Analytics Hub is limited and could be improved."

"Pricing and support are integrated into the system. However, the support process can be challenging, particularly when navigating the SAP support site, which lacks user-friendliness and ease of access."

"Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub."

"Improvement is a never ending story, and HANA is doing some improvements. We are able to adopt that, and we have to do it by integration with HANA. They are very major changes that we need to see."

"The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades."

"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."

"If someone wants to replicate their data from Sybase to a newer technology for data warehousing or other purposes, it would be better if they supported those."

"I would like to see it become mobile-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They are pursuing a highly assertive approach to target businesses of all sizes within the industry."

"The product is expensive."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"It is an expensive solution."

"It's a very expensive solution."

"You can pick one of the hosted cloud services as opposed to owning it and doing it yourself. Your cost of ownership on the hardware, the data storage, and the maintenance all go down. It depends on what service you use."
