"I appreciate having access to the SAP data."
"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."
"The fact that it's built on SQL, it makes it easy to write code. The database and the connection are quite smooth."

"The most valuable features of this solution are the fast insert and fuzzy logic matching."
"The debugging capabilities are great, particularly during data flow execution. You can look into the data and see what's going on in the pipeline."
"It would be nice if this solution was a bit easier to move from development to production."
"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."
"In the future, Data Services should offer a cloud version."
"The initial setup is complex."
"It will work fine only in an SAP environment. It could be said that the integration with other vendors could be better."
"The migration of the solution between different environments is quite complex."
"At the integration level, there could be certain set of improvement to connect to various other systems."
"I want some more business intelligence applications. People need to know more and more about data, including the transformation rules, etc. Informatica is a better product for data cataloging. SAP should update the data catalog."
"It would be nice if you could run SSIS on other environments besides Windows."
"I would like to see more features in terms of the integration with Azure Data Factory."
"There is connectivity with other databases, however, this is the most significant issue that has to be addressed."
"The security could be improved, as it is more important in our context."
"Future releases should improve the data lineage, as it currently is not good."
"The solution should work on the GPU, graphical processing unit. There should also be piping integration available."
"We're in the process of switching to Informatica, and we need to work out data lineage and data profiling and to improve the quality of our data. SSIS, however, is not that compatible with Informatica. We managed to connect it to Informatica Metadata Manager, but we don't get good lineage, so we have to redo all our ETLs using the Informatica process in order to accept the proper data lineage."
"We've had issues in terms of the amount of data that is transferred when we are scheduling."
