Embrace efficient data management with integrated features but anticipate some enhancement needs
This tool itself is new. SAP Data Quality Management was brought in by SAP recently, maybe a year or two years back. We just started implementing and we still have not heard exact feedback from the client. It would not be correct if I give feedback now because I don't have accurate feedback from client usage. I feel it is a good tool with some limitations. We compared it with Celonis, which is also one of the other tools in the market. I am more into SAP and S4 HANA, so I am not familiar with all the best tools available in Data Quality Management which can be compatible with SAP. We know there are issues with SAP Data Quality Management. The advantage of this tool that SAP brought is that it is already in-built. You don't need to build another application layer on top of the existing one. The compatibility and response time for these applications within the same database is faster.

Has consistently provided impressive data handling capabilities and robust security features
Some of the most valuable features of SAP Data Services include data extraction where SAP is the best in that perspective, but when it comes to analytics or the reporting tool, I prefer to connect with Microsoft Power BI, which is a fantastic tool. Typically, from an end-user perspective, SAP has a huge amount of data, in terms of terabytes of data, but when you analyze that, the best form of visualization is always through Microsoft Power BI. SAP Data Services provides a best-in-class return on investment, as SAP's vision and forecast are absolutely amazing. They are ahead of technology, building an ecosystem that meets the standards of the fast-changing digital economy. SAP is indeed good at all this now, with so many components such as SAP Signavio, SAP EINS, SAP Work Zone, SAP ALM, Cloud ALM, SAP public cloud, SAP private cloud, and BTP, all of which are essential to meet the latest cutting-edge technologies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our primary use case is for us to inspect the results from the product and material, and for releasing or leaving the status of the product."
"Scalability is good."
"We work with API standards or norms for internal applications, so it's essential for SSE to have tests and pass those tests according to the criteria, which makes SAP Data Quality Management very important for our products."
"The scalability within the SAP function is good."
"The reporting on the data, even from third-party software, is very good."
"Technical support from SAP is awesome. If we have an issue, they give a good solution."
"Once you have training on the solution, it is very important to explore the full potential of the product rather than jumping right into development."
"The most valuable feature is the ETL functionality."
"The BA reporting tools, such as Data Services, and ETL tool in SAP Data Services are the most valuable. When we had in-memory requirements, we used HANA. HANA is most preferably for most the customers for in-memory. SAP is the first company that created the in-memory concept."
"The graphical user interface and powerful SQL generation capabilities make the coding of ETL flows very easy and efficient."
"Doing De-Deduplication of data for Data Cleansing is much easier and has been revolutionised with Data Services, especially used in conjunction with SAP Information Stewards."
"Data Services' best features are its robustness and plug-and-play integration with other SAP applications."
 

Cons

"There are some limitations. They are not covering complete scenarios for all the modules."
"I would like for them to develop a feature to be able to record all of our inspections so all the data can go through SAP; it's not user-friendly or easy to get further analysis, so we mostly skip this step."
"SAP Data Quality Management would be better if it directly integrates with the ME system. Right now, the company has a lot of machines on the shop floor working as a standalone, so you have to use all methods to ensure that the data interface appears on the ME system and that SAP Data Quality Management records the QM results. It would be much easier if the ME system could be integrated directly with SAP Data Quality Management."
"We encounter challenges while exporting implemented rules, such as those applied to objects like the material master, into a format like Excel for documentation and further analysis."
"I have several issues with this solution. The embedded features that SAP Data Services offers are not enough for me to implement everything that I want."
"The initial setup is complex. It takes time to get used to."
"Regarding the pricing for SAP Data Services, I think it's on the higher side. Now, they are coming up with many pricing options, which is tricky; they offer one thing for free, but charge for nine others."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other analysis tools."
"The solution lacks user-friendly features; compared to other integration tools I've used before, it's less user-friendly and the built-in features just aren't sufficient."
"We used a different repository for every consultant and it created problems to maintain the final version of each dataflow in every user."
"Sudden crashing of DS making unsaved changes lost, happens usually when logged in for a long amount of time."
