Alooma vs. SAP Integration Suite

Very appropriate for managing an ELT stack -- Alooma handles the 'E' and 'L' pieces very well. Due to the way transformation is setup, it is more on the lightweight side of things and thus works for this kind of stack. For more traditional ETL stacks, Alooma would probably not be the right fit.

• Transformation of data before entering the data warehouse -- allows for a consistent/understandable schema for analytics teams.
• Adding of additional data sources: Alooma has a large library of pre-built, common 3rd party vendors for which data is often needed to be ETL-ed.

• The drag-and-drop interface, as well as SAP regular improvements to its pre-packaged content, are also excellent features.
• The security features (such as the cloud connection for sending data to the local system, as well as encryption and scrambling) are really beneficial.
• Unlike other tools I've tested, the SAP connectivity package offers access to third-party cloud apps.
• Prototyping may be completed more quickly, and the team can determine whether or not to proceed with the integration depending on the feedback process.

Incentivized

• More tools on managing the data warehouse itself. Although great on the ingest and transformation of data, more help provided by the tool on managing the outputs would be welcome.
• Increase possibilities in the transformation step, rather than single event transformations.

• There are some loopholes there by which some problems appears, may be different usage in different modules, as i am working on PP module but we lack sometime with linkage of MM module.

SAP Integration Suite is very helpful to us in many ways to manage purchase procedures, stocks, and data of vendors and suppliers. Also, it helps to manage data for service providers. SAP Integration Suite has the tool to conduct training and evaluation. Unique features like the cloud can provide access from any place and by any device is very helpful.

Work with an SAP implementation partner, if possible.

Haven't used the alternatives, since Alooma was one of the earlier ones to the market. From a cursory viewing, however, the features seem to match relatively similarly.

I selected it because its now one of the best thing to do and to work. As we are currently working from home it makes the work easy and comfortable and yet the main usage will be in office the environment created will be simple. The UI logic is based on some calculations which will rely on some natural intuations of mind and when it comes to mind it is easy.

• Allowing for additional data sources to more automation capability around monitoring the business is a huge ROI

• In the long run will enable us to undeploy our on premise solution
• As long as integration suite doesn't support all capabilities PO has complete migration is hard
• Will probably be cheaper than our on premise solution when we are completely migrated
