Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse integrates beautifully with other Microsoft ecosystem products."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"I am very satisfied with the customer service/technical support."

"It has allowed fast daily loads and analysis of millions of rows of data, which eventually moved to near real-time."

"The UI is very simple and functional for my clients, most of the clients that use the solution are not experts."

"Data collection and reporting are valuable features of the solution."

"Collecting the data through SSIS packages from different sources and putting them all in one data repository is the most powerful thing. While others have this feature, they don't have the simplicity or ease of use when getting a resource and knowing everything about it."

"I like Data Warehouse's data integrity features. Data integrity is what databases are made for as opposed to spreadsheets."

More Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse pros

"It provides us with proof of data, we can centralize all of the information, check it, and then provide the information to our users."

"Transformation is a valuable feature of SAP NetWeaver. I can transform the data as per my needs or my client's needs. For example, flat tables can be transformed with respect to our requirements to combine multiple modules into one single table, and we can derive analytics."

"Data modeling is a valuable feature."

"It is a robust system."

"The security and audit procedures are the most valuable features."

"A robust and efficient product."

"It's an excellent over-all tool for managers to analyze their business."

Cons

"We find the cost of the solution to be a little high."

"We'd like to see it be a bit more compatible with other solutions."

"Sometimes, the product requires rolling back to its previous version during a software update. This particular area could be enhanced."

"A major issue is with table statistics. Sometimes the statistics are not refreshed correctly, which causes issues for us."

"Concurrent queries are limited to 32, making it more of a data storage mechanism instead of an active DWH solution."

"The product scalability needs improvement."

"The reporting for certain types of data needs to be improved."

"It could be made more user-friendly for business users which would increase the user base."

More Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse cons

"The product could provide more features."

"The program is difficult to learn to use"

"I think more integration with other applications would be perfect."

"There are performance issues in terms of scalability and availability."

"Design and modeling could be simplified."

"It is difficult when your native language is not English. It is difficult for us to explain our issue and also difficult for the technical team to explain a resolution to us."

"Connectors are complex, and it is difficult to understand or know which connector should be used. For instance, if I want to connect APIs, I will not be able to do it directly. I would have to go to the portal integration to get the data. Therefore, having simplified connectors will make things much easier."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cost-effective."

"They offer an annual subscription. The pricing depends on the size of the environments."

"Technical support is an additional fee and is expensive."

"All the features that we use do not require any additional subscription or yearly fees."

"I think the program is well-priced compared to the other offerings that are out in the market."

"Microsoft has an agreement with the government in our country, so our customers get their licensing costs from the Ministry. Whenever we work with any government, company, or government institute, which is mainly what we are doing, that license comes directly from the Ministry of Technology and Information."

"The tool could be expensive if we need to manage a lot of data."

"The solution's pricing is fairly decent for organizations with huge data sizes."

"Pricing is based on the number of user IDs and tyhe user ID works across a suite of products."

"The licensing cost is high for SAP NetWeaver compared to that for other products."

"All SAP products are expensive."
