It is best for scenarios where the source is primarily of sap, not necessarily only sap, but least sap is present in the landscape. There are improvement areas when we call this a replacement for bw, but not all the modelling features of bw are present in BDC. Yet to see the AIML use case in action, looking forward to seeing this in action.

As an application, BDC is simple to use. The formation needs to be created by the technical team and then the development can begin. Usage of S/4HANA data in terms of intelligent apps is great and highly accessible. It removes the boundaries of olap vs oltp and that is very significant

I have done implementation of models in traditional bw and Using BDC. The integration of BDC with S4 hana for creating sap data products is seamless and reduces lot of implementation effort. The intelligent app feature is BDC also eases the implementation effort. If i have to compare the previous world with new BDC, implementation effort is largely saved

BDC is a significant development over Datasphere in the sense that it unifies not only the transaction and olap systems but also other olap systems which may have existed in the landscape. Pce migration and availability of data from and 7.5 or B4 HANA system as a data product is also an exemplary feature.
