Responsive support, scalable, and beneficial integration
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. There are a lot of SAP applications and they have good integration with SAP packages. In the next release, they should be more advanced cloud functionalities and web services. More integration with other applications including SAPs and other applications. They should not switch to a complete solution but provide better integration with other applications.

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 most valuable features of the solution are extraction and data transformations."
"I like how SAP Data Services links reporting and data integration. That's what's most interesting. You also have the opportunity to leverage the power of the Data Services server."
"Technical support from SAP is awesome. If we have an issue, they give a good solution."
"The reporting on the data, even from third-party software, is very good."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the scheduling part."
"The HANA database, which is very fast, is a valuable feature."
"The solution is easy to use since it's a graphical tool. It also requires only low-level coding."
"The product's most valuable features are data validation and rules."
"The major benefits of Syniti Data Quality stem from the productivity and flexibility it offers to users."
"The customer service and support is good."
"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."
 

Cons

"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."
"It would be nice if this solution was a bit easier to move from development to production."
"SAP Data Services should be made a web-based solution."
"The solution should offer more machine learning and automation."
"Scheduling of jobs in the sequence is not available. It's a very tedious process to do that particular task. If there was a tool to schedule in the sequence that would be extremely helpful."
"An area for improvement in SAP Data Services could involve making the product more accessible to non-technical end-users."
"The migration of the solution between different environments is quite complex."
"The solution should improve connectivity with more source systems and target systems."
"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."
"In Syniti Data Quality, data extraction is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The loading mechanisms and administration processes, particularly in setting up connections and deploying the system, need improvement."
 

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."
"Pricing is good, there is no problem."
"The pricing is a little high to make the product more competetive in the marketplace."
"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 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."
"It's relatively expensive compared to other vendors, but it is competitive."
"The solution is expensive."
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
