Rene Dorantes - PeerSpot reviewer
Scalable, stable, and offers good technical support
SAP Data Quality Management would be better if it directly integrates with the ME system. Right now, the company has a lot of machines on the shop floor working as a standalone, so you have to use all methods to ensure that the data interface appears on the ME system and that SAP Data Quality Management records the QM results. It would be much easier if the ME system could be integrated directly with SAP Data Quality Management. What I'd like to see from SAP Data Quality Management in the future is the integration of machines on the shop floor or a feature that connects shop floor devices. I'd also like a custom dashboard in the solution, though I wonder if that's available in the new version. The old version my company uses doesn't have that. Another feature I want in the next release of SAP Data Quality Management is better communication between the ME and the SAP systems.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our primary use case is for us to inspect the results from the product and material, and for releasing or leaving the status of the product."
"We work with API standards or norms for internal applications, so it's essential for SSE to have tests and pass those tests according to the criteria, which makes SAP Data Quality Management very important for our products."
"Its integration capabilities and the data migration capabilities are the most valuable. It is very good for SAP and non-SAP tools. It has very good integration with SAP, but it also has the capabilities to connect to other systems. We find it very helpful and stable."
"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."
"Data Services' best features are its robustness and plug-and-play integration with other SAP applications."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the logging capability."
"The solution has good connectivity with SAP."
"The product's most valuable features are data validation and rules."
"The maintenance of data services is the solution's most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"I would like for them to develop a feature to able to record all of our inspections; so all the data can go through SAP. It's not user-friendly or easy to get further analysis, so we mostly skip this step."
"SAP Data Quality Management would be better if it directly integrates with the ME system. Right now, the company has a lot of machines on the shop floor working as a standalone, so you have to use all methods to ensure that the data interface appears on the ME system and that SAP Data Quality Management records the QM results. It would be much easier if the ME system could be integrated directly with SAP Data Quality Management."
"The solution should offer more machine learning and automation."
"The interface is not quite user-friendly and is in need of improvement."
"At the integration level, there could be certain set of improvement to connect to various other systems."
"The description of error messages isn't extensive, although they point to the problem. With other solutions, like Talend, I was able to use the debugger to get directly to the problem, but with SAP Data Services the debugger is not working. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the version specifically, but I'm using it in an enterprise environment and I can't do an upgrade."
"The migration of the solution between different environments is quite complex."
"An area for improvement in SAP Data Services could involve making the product more accessible to non-technical end-users."
"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."
"In the future, Data Services should offer a cloud version."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The enterprise version of SAP Data Services is free."
"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 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 product’s on-premise version is expensive for a medium-sized company."
"It's relatively expensive compared to other vendors, but it is competitive."
"Its pricing is as per the enterprise agreement and not a concern for us."
"The pricing is a little high to make the product more competetive in the marketplace."
"Speaking about prices, Oracle and SAP are market leaders. So, the prices are more."
