Deliver Head - Database and Infrastructure Cloud Services at Tech Mahindra Limited
Fast, has good extraction, validation, and transformation features, and provides good support
Though validation is good and fast enough in Oracle Data Quality, an area for improvement is the accuracy of the validation. Though the solution offers multidimensional validation, it needs a bit more improvement in the accuracy aspect because smaller products can offer better accuracy in terms of validation compared to Oracle Data Quality. What I'd like to see from the solution in its next release, is an increase in compliances and regulations that would allow it to cover all industries because multiple verticals demand data quality nowadays, and this improvement will be helpful as Oracle Data Quality is an in-built delivered solution.
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

"With Oracle Data Quality, the most valuable feature is entity matching."
"I have found the most valuable features to be data cleansing and deduplication."
"OEDQ helped us to define Data Quality issues from a business perspective by business users and ability to manage those issues within our ETL tool (Oracle Data Integrator - ODI)."
"However, I think Oracle Data Quality is definitely worth giving a try."
"I'd recommend this solution to anyone who is using data quality or would want to know the quality of data in their company and fix the data."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and maintain."
"The features I like most about Oracle Data Quality include extraction, transformation, and validation, which makes it a multipurpose product such as Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle Data Integrator. I also like that Oracle Data Quality is very fast, so you can use it for a large volume of data within a short period. You have to do the validation very quickly, so the solution helps in that area of data quality. Another feature of Oracle Data Quality that I like is the MDM (Master Data Management) where you'll have a single source of protection, and this makes the solution perfect and helpful to my company."
"The technical support is very good; we had a good experience with the support."
"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)."
"The basic functionality is quite good as is the basic logic and data information."
"Data Services is extremely stable and stability information steward is considerably higher in version 4.2 than it was at the initial version 4.0."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"The HANA database, which is very fast, is a valuable feature."
"If they want to be on an equal level in the data analyst field, this is one of the finest tools."
"You can always manipulate a lot of things as long as you have the skill level."
"I have worked with Data Services for a long time, and currently, I find the dashboarding and reporting part to be the most valuable function."
 

Cons

"The initial setup was complicated, there is a lot of configuration that needs to be done."
"Though validation is good and fast enough in Oracle Data Quality, an area for improvement is the accuracy of the validation. Though the solution offers multidimensional validation, it needs a bit more improvement in the accuracy aspect because smaller products can offer better accuracy in terms of validation compared to Oracle Data Quality. What I'd like to see from the solution in its next release, is an increase in compliances and regulations that would allow it to cover all industries because multiple verticals demand data quality nowadays, and this improvement will be helpful as Oracle Data Quality is an in-built delivered solution."
"We have experienced some system crashes i.e. when tying to run Data Profiling Processes for very large data sets."
"There are some challenges with respect to standardization, matching, segregation, and merging."
"If the length of time required for deployment was reduced then it would be very helpful."
"Mobile support and mobile app can be implemented, since business users generally prefers to work with their laptops and mobile phones."
"Oracle Data Quality should integrate with data warehousing solutions such as Azure and CWS Office. For example, having the ability to integrate with tools, such as Azure Synapse and SQL data warehousing would be a great benefit."
"Integration performance and availability of out of the box integration to more products (ERP Tools, Data Cleansing Software etc.)."
"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."
"The solution shows a lack of cloud support data services."
"SAP Data Services should be made a web-based solution."
"Error logging is very cryptic."
"It will work fine only in an SAP environment. It could be said that the integration with other vendors could be better."
"Integration with other products could be improved."
"When working with custom functions, many times it fails to execute (from 4.0 onwards) because of the data types mismatch errors."
"There are a lot of version improvements in the years and makes it hard to sync up with older versions of the same tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The vendor needs to revisit their pricing strategy."
"The price of this solution is comparable to other similar solutions."
"The price is very reasonable."
"There is a one time purchase fee plus annual maintenance."
"The pricing is a little high to make the product more competetive in the marketplace."
"The enterprise version of SAP Data Services is free."
"Pricing is good, there is no problem."
"Speaking about prices, Oracle and SAP are market leaders. So, the prices are more."
"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."
"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."
