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

"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."
"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."
"The platform's main benefit is its integration with SAP ERP data. It’s effective for data integration and integrity."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"SSIS is easy to use."
"The workflow features have been very valuable; you can have automated workflows and all the steps are controlled, and the workflow functionality of integration services is excellent."
"It has the ability to be deployed into the cloud through Data Factory, and run completely as a software as a service in the cloud."
"SSIS integrates well with SQL servers and Microsoft products."
"Compatibility with the rest of Microsoft BI stack"
"There are many good features in this solution including the data fields, database integration, support for SQL views, and the lookups for matching information."
"The most important features are it works well and provides self-service BI."
"Like most Microsoft products, SSIS is user-friendly and easy to use."
 

Cons

"Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub."
"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 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."
"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 technical support for Analytics Hub is limited and could be improved."
"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."
"I come from a coding background and this tool is graphically based. Sometimes I think it's cumbersome to do mapping graphically."
"SSIS could be integrated with more services, such as Power BI, to make the reporting structures more user-friendly."
"When I compare Talend and SSIS, Talend provides more features."
"We have faced some problems, mostly from a different provider with different language handling."
"We'd like them to develop data exploration more."
"The performance of SSIS could improve when comparing it to Oracle Database."
"Generic processes should be used instead of custom code for each table."
"We'd like them to develop data exploration more."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"They are pursuing a highly assertive approach to target businesses of all sizes within the industry."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The product is expensive."
"The solution comes free of cost."
"SSIS is fairly well-priced - I would rate it at four out of five."
"It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."
"Based on my experience and understanding, Talend comes out to be a little bit expensive as compared to SSIS. The average cost of having Talend with Talend Management Console is around 72K per region, which is much higher than SSIS. SSIS works very well with Microsoft technologies, and if you have Microsoft technologies, it is not really expensive to have SSIS. If you have SQL Server, SSIS is free."
"We purchased the standard edition of SQL Server and SSIS came with it free of charge."
"If you don't want to pay a lot of money, you can go for SSIS, as its open-source version is available. When it comes to licensing, SSIS can be expensive."
"This solution is a free of charge addition to our SQL licence. However, the only way this tool can be utilized is as a feature of the SQL licence, which may make it unattractive to organizations who don't wish to purchase the wider-ranging licence."
"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."
