Find out what your peers are saying about Snowflake Computing, Microsoft, Amazon and others in Cloud Data Warehouse."The most useful feature is definitely the speed."
"What I like most about SAP Business Warehouse is its ability to feed data into new, multiple systems in various formats. It can open its data to any system over gateway services or a portal or application that needs to consume and analyze data."
"I like that it integrates to open-source."
"Having the back-end data set with the right information is the best qualification for this solution."
"The warehouse is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business Warehouse is its hybrid functionality, allowing users to leverage both SQL-based data warehouse capabilities from HANA and feature-based data warehousing from BW."
"In terms of stability, comparatively, the solution is quite stable."
"The product is very stable."
"The solution's initial setup process is straightforward."
"The solution is stable and we have never had a problem. We started with one terabyte of data when the solution was first implemented and today we have around almost 600 gigabytes of data, which means means the compression works properly. Before migrating from ECC, we had nine terabytes of data."
"The processes and the way we take advantage and use assistance are good."
"One of the features that I've found most useful is that It's very simple. They take care of the technical aspects of the data, installations, patches."
"The interface is easy to manage."
"The BTP module is important for digital transformations."
"I am impressed with how the solution integrates with the ME system and ALE IDocs."
"This solution is as good as any other S/4HANA SAP solution. The continuous support we get is very valuable."
"The solution should be more open to the cloud."
"The problem with BW, and the factor that differentiated it from the original BW, is that you only get limited functionality with your runtime license. So, you have to pay extra for extracting data."
"We are very unhappy with technical support. First of all, they send their sales agents or pre-sales agents and most of them who don't know the solution as a properly trained tech would. We have an on-site SAP representative who is supposed to help us with our high priority and production issues, and they're not satisfactory to say the least."
"Areas for improvement in SAP Business Warehouse include enhancing scheduling and monitoring tools, as well as improving communication about hidden features to make them more accessible to users."
"In the next release, my suggestion would be to have user-friendly interfaces and performance issues be addressed."
"There is room for improvement from a technical perspective."
"They should reduce the product’s installation package size for easier downloading."
"SAP Business Warehouse could integrate better with other ETL tools."
"Enterprise Cloud's reporting could be more automated to improve content accountability, especially regarding BI reports."
"It’s a common challenge with applications like Microsoft and SAP that they tend to rely on engineers rather than human resources personnel for knowledge and implementation."
"The solution is scalable from an infrastructure point of view. However, it becomes more complex over time because technology is changing so fast."
"Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation."
"The product must provide more details of the errors."
"Perhaps minor changes to the enterprise structure could be made, but the rest is fine."
"SAP support isn't on par with products like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It's nowhere close to the competitors."
"This product is not mature enough at this point in time."
