Quick to set up, flexible, and stable
The scheduling part I don't like due to the fact that it allows you to schedule as a parent and child and other things, however, the error trackability has to be a little more user-friendly. It's also not user-friendly in the sense that it loads all the jobs and there are not enough filters so that it doesn't need to load everything. If the job fails, you don't get any type of alert or email. It would be ideal if there was some sort of automated alert message. Technical support isn't the best. It would be ideal if we understood how to do it in a card exception regarding exclusion, where the card is captured separately rather than filling the whole process on the data inbound side. Certain workloads like this are organized in such a way where you seem to be doubling the work as opposed to streamlining the process.

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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Quickly develops a data warehouse for our organization with documentation and can track back/forward features."
"WhereScape RED has improved our business's ability to generate needed reporting without requiring a large team of developers to manually code all of the necessary plumbing."
"Data transformations and rollups are easy to accomplish."
"WhereScape's deployment package is a fantastic feature. The application allows for selecting specific objects that you would like to deploy from one environment to another rather than deploying the entire database."
"This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."
"I like the data vault implementations."
"I found the initial setup very easy."
"RED has provided us the ability to integrate, stage, and transform data from diverse sources into an enterprise-grade data warehouse which meets the needs of my organization, but it also enables us to easily and quickly make ETL or DW changes."
 

Cons

"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. 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."
"The platform could easily integrate with other ERP data solutions. Additionally, it should be faster compared to competitors in the cloud space."
"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 solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."
"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."
"Technical support isn't the best."
"The ability to execute SSIS projects within WhereScape would be nice because we have a lot of packages that are too cumbersome to recreate."
"The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application."
"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."
"Customization could be better."
"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It is an expensive solution."
"They are pursuing a highly assertive approach to target businesses of all sizes within the industry."
"Speed to market of a warehouse solution at a relatively inexpensive price point."
"Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."
"Factor in the price of specialized consulting who know this product. They're hard to find and expensive."
"ROI is at least 10 times."
