Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."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 feature of SAP Data Services is the integration with data sources."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"The API tool in this product is very valuable; it is very easy to onboard and use."
"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."
"Technical support from SAP is awesome. If we have an issue, they give a good solution."
"The most valuable feature is the logging capability."
"We can extract data at a table level, extract data at the ETL level, and we can extract data at an ODP level."
"Mapping Designer provides excellent flexibility."
"What would have been a manual process of transmitting data items around between us and third-parties has been automated. SEEBURGER BIS handles the automation and mapping side of the communications. The automation, along with the efficiency around time and cost, has improved our organization. Around 20,000 messages a month have been automated. These typically would be financial/order transactions and confirmations in invoicing that have been automated."
"It is stable and reliable. We have not had any issues."
"It is a JavaScript or a Java-based system within their mapping tool. You can actually write a lot of code in there. We can perform a lot of the translations even within our mapping, whereas we used to have to do custom programming on our back-end systems to fully integrate."
"We can use it to script and monitor processes."
"The product has the ability to handle high volumes of data efficiently."
"The tool's performance doesn't get affected by transformation loads. You can write any number of rules, filtering criteria, transformations, etc."
"It used to take half an hour to move one file from one location to another. Now, it takes 10 minutes."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."
"Integration with other products could be improved."
"With SAP Data Services, the problem arises when I try to connect to Azure Databricks."
"An area for improvement in SAP Data Services could involve making the product more accessible to non-technical end-users."
"In the future, Data Services should offer a cloud version."
"It will work fine only in an SAP environment. It could be said that the integration with other vendors could be better."
"At the integration level, there could be certain set of improvement to connect to various other systems."
"We wanted to use API. We were told that in 6.52 we could use API management. Later on, we found that API management wasn't that completely integrated into the 6.52 solution, and if you wanted to have the whole API suite you might have to go to 6.7, the latest one."
"We don't have much access to the logs or what's happening. So we have to log a ticket with SEEBURGER. We only get a message that something has failed... we have to open a ticket with SEEBURGER for them to tell us exactly what the issue is... I would like us to be able to be more self-sufficient."
"A true debugger that allows you to step through the process would be a good improvement. Right now, we are limited to reading the log file generated by the test screen in Mapping Designer."
"In the BIS, if I want to have some API functionalities, that is a separate tool. The integration between the API tool and the BIS is not that straightforward. If they were to combine these tools and give us one suite, that would be helpful. Today I have a lot of partners onboard. I have something like 50,000 partners doing API transactions. If I want to introduce a new tool for API management, I have to do a lot of workarounds. But if it were integrated well within the existing suite, it could be straightforward for me."
"The initial set up was done by SEEBURGER consulting. It can be complex due to various factors, such as server settings, database settings, and security settings."
"We occasionally get ZIP files. Sometimes the ZIP file has one file inside of it, and sometimes the ZIP file might have 30 files inside of it. We have been working with SEEBURGER to enhance their PKUNZIP process to be able to unzip multiple files in a single workflow instead of just one file. This is still something that is in process."
"They have their own private cloud. That's the reason we did not go ahead with managing everything by ourselves or moving into the cloud. They said that they're going to be doing it within the next two years, having access to Azure and AWS. That would be something we would like to see."
"The integration is not so excellent. While I'm not saying there is a problem, there is no pattern. When we start a new project, we have to work with new people and processes every time. The technical side of their system is very good, but their change process is not repeatable. It needs to be rebuilt each time."
