Featured Reviews

Ramesh Pampana - PeerSpot reviewer
Has consistently provided impressive data handling capabilities and robust security features
Some of the most valuable features of SAP Data Services ( /products/sap-data-services-reviews ) 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 ( /products/microsoft-power-bi-reviews ), 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 ( /products/microsoft-power-bi-reviews ). 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 ( /categories/application-lifecycle-management-alm-suites ), Cloud ALM ( /categories/application-lifecycle-management-alm-suites ), SAP public cloud, SAP private cloud, and BTP, all of which are essential to meet the latest cutting-edge technologies.

Offers predefined rules and easy to migrate data with minimum customisation of rules
The customization of the data needs improvement. We need to build basic SQL queries rather than being able to do it within the tool. We need to be able to analyze the SQL queries and then rerun them based on customer usage. We should be able to tune the existing process by using simple SQL queries based on the customer's requirements. In future releases, I would like to see more features around Preload and postload reports. From the end-user point of view, it is not very feasible to read. I need to know how the data has been migrated. I need to know whether the complete data has been migrated, only the required data has been migrated, and how it was migrated. So the postload reports will give validation between the source data and the target source. It would give exact picture of the data migration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's most valuable features are data validation and rules."
"The HANA database, which is very fast, is a valuable feature."
"It is a powerful product with a broad range of features."
"The basic functionality is quite good as is the basic logic and data information."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Data Services is the integration with data sources."
"The solution is easy to use since it's a graphical tool. It also requires only low-level coding."
"It's easy to understand and deploy. It's easy to create new applications, and depending on the complexity of the application, it is easy to deploy the new requirements."
"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."
"With Syniti Data Quality, you can integrate SAP and directly fix errors from Syniti Data Quality instead of logging into SAP and then fixing them."
"Syniti has built-in 80% of the solution, and we only need to customize 20 to 25% of the features. It is easy to run and pre-load reports."
"The customer service and support is good."
"The major benefits of Syniti Data Quality stem from the productivity and flexibility it offers to users."
 

Cons

"Newer feature integration is lagging behind the company acquisitions and the product could do more to service a broader range of devices."
"The migration of the solution between different environments is quite complex."
"Integration with other products could be improved."
"SAP Data Services should be made a web-based solution."
"With SAP Data Services, the problem arises when I try to connect to Azure Databricks."
"They could make it easier to work with web services."
"An area for improvement in SAP Data Services could involve making the product more accessible to non-technical end-users."
"Address validation in SAP Data Services is chargeable and should be made free."
"It would be good if Syniti Data Quality could integrate more AI in the future."
"The customization of the data needs improvement. We need to build basic SQL queries rather than being able to do it within the tool. We need to be able to analyze the SQL queries and then rerun them based on customer usage."
"The loading mechanisms and administration processes, particularly in setting up connections and deploying the system, need improvement."
"In Syniti Data Quality, data extraction is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license price is expensive but medium to large-scale companies, should be able to afford it. Other solutions, such as Talend are easier to afford for smaller companies. Depending on the sources of the data where you are receiving your data you could be paying for more than one license."
"It's relatively expensive compared to other vendors, but it is competitive."
"The price is very reasonable."
"Its pricing is as per the enterprise agreement and not a concern for us."
"I rate the product price as one or two on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"At the entry level, if you're using it only for data integration, it is a little bit cheap. However, for large organizations it can be expensive. There are additional costs apart from the license."
"The product’s on-premise version is expensive for a medium-sized company."
"Speaking about prices, Oracle and SAP are market leaders. So, the prices are more."
"The solution is expensive."
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
