Accurate data and reliable
CData Connect is used to extract data from our own Facebook ads campaigns The most valuable feature of CData Connect is the accuracy of the data. The amount of data that can be extracted at one point in time should be improved. I have been using CData Connect for approximately three months.…
Ramesh Pampana - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager, SAP Practice at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
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

"The most valuable feature of CData Connect is the accuracy of the data."
"The SAP Data Services EE License has all the additional products for enterprise wide data delivery, like Information Steward, Event Stream Processing, etc."
"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 logic is also simple. It makes it easy to build your extraction."
"The API tool in this product is very valuable; it is very easy to onboard and use."
"It is a very great tool to be used for ETL process."
"From my point of view, Dataservices is a good ETL choice if there are SAP systems in the sources or the targets (it can help to make BW transformations much easier)."
"SAP Data Services is a very general tool for SAP as a source and SAP as a destination, and it can also connect to any source and any destination, which is a very valuable aspect of the solution."
"You can always manipulate a lot of things as long as you have the skill level."
 

Cons

"The amount of data that can be extracted at one point in time should be improved."
"There is a limitation in the amount of data that can be imported. This should be increased."
"There should be some kind of enhancement that can be done on the admin side of certain sites where we can assign the roles and responsibilities. We should be able to control who is using the tool and how."
"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."
"Technical Support: Needs improvement as far as responsiveness."
"Address validation in SAP Data Services is chargeable and should be made free."
"Data Services SAP is lacking in sources and target databases compared to Informatica. SAP Data Services should have more connectivity."
"The interface is not quite user-friendly and is in need of improvement."
"Development with web tool (today is with client tool)."
"We used a different repository for every consultant and it created problems to maintain the final version of each dataflow in every user."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"Pricing is good, there is no problem."
"The enterprise version of SAP Data Services is free."
"The pricing is a little high to make the product more competetive in the marketplace."
"The price of SAP Data Services is a little high when compared to other solutions. Due to the pricing and capabilities, many clients are switching to other solutions."
"Its pricing is as per the enterprise agreement and not a concern for us."
"The product’s on-premise version is expensive for a medium-sized company."
