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.

User-friendly interface facilitates efficient data migration and reduces operational overhead
Its usability and ease of use are standout features. It is really easy to use - almost too easy at times. Users don't have to be experts to use their tool set and utilize the clicking mechanisms, drop down boxes, and other features to build a package and run it. The configuration is very easy and the system is very stable. I would rate it at a 10 as it is highly reliable; we have never had any problems with it. Very little maintenance is required on my side. While you need to keep the product up to date, the maintenance requirements are minimal. SSIS integrates with all Microsoft tools seamlessly. We have used it against Oracle, DB2 and SQL. It integrates and can move data around from any data platforms, making it very diverse in that standpoint. It is a very robust tool that can work with many data sources, and its main strength is that it is extremely easy to use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product provides good reports using a single pane of glass."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Data consistency is also a notable feature; the system takes care of data consistency, so you don't need to handle it manually."
"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."
"Another good thing about SAP is that it has powerful tools like the SAP Data View and HANA and BO configuration, which will always give you better results with any type of data and any amount of data within a short time."
"I have a tool called ZappySys; I need that tool to cut down on the complexity of SSIS, and it really helps with a quick turnaround because I can do things quickly and accurately and get better reporting on errors."
"The simplicity of the solution is great, and the solution also offers excellent integration."
"There are many good features in this solution including the data fields, database integration, support for SQL views, and the lookups for matching information."
"It has a drag and drop feature that makes it easy to use, has a good user experience because it takes into account your most-used tools and lines them up nicely so you can just drag and drop without looking too far, and it also integrates nicely with Microsoft."
"The main value of any Microsoft product is the ease of use."
"Overall, it's a good product."
"The main benefits SSIS provides for my company is to streamline processes, and the reporting process is the most useful for me, as most of our data is captured into SQL, making it easier to pull the differences in reports for the year."
"SSIS' most valuable feature is its reporting services."
 

Cons

"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 interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience."
"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."
"The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience."
"Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub."
"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."
"The platform could easily integrate with other ERP data solutions. Additionally, it should be faster compared to competitors in the cloud space."
"The technical support for Analytics Hub is limited and could be improved."
"SSIS could be integrated with more services, such as Power BI, to make the reporting structures more user-friendly."
"I come from a coding background and this tool is graphically based. Sometimes I think it's cumbersome to do mapping graphically."
"Improvement as per customer requirements."
"SSIS has room for improvement, mainly because the overall package can be buggy. It often locks up, requiring a restart, which is annoying. However, since it's free, we tolerate these performance issues. I'd like to see better debugging tools in future releases and improvements in API calls; It would be helpful if SSIS had a built-in API engine so we wouldn't have to rely solely on database connections."
"SSIS is stable, but extensive ETL data processing can have some performance issues."
"The creation of the measure in the DAC's model could be improved."
"SSIS sometimes hangs, and there are some problems with servers going down after they've been patched."
"Video training would be a helpful addition."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They are pursuing a highly assertive approach to target businesses of all sizes within the industry."
"The product is expensive."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"SSIS' licensing is a little high, but it gives good value for money."
"Our license with SSIS is annual."
"t's incredibly cost effective, easy to learn the basics quickly (although like all ETL tools requires the traditional learning curve to get good at) and has an immense user base."
"We purchased the standard edition of SQL Server and SSIS came with it free of charge."
"People have to opt for a perpetual-based licensing model."
"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."
"We have an enterprise license for this solution."
"This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
