Astera Centerprise vs SAP Data Intelligence

• The user friendly interface to develop integration packages means that you don't need to be highly trained in SQL code.
• There is a huge variety of out-of-box functions, translations, and connectors. This means you can get up and running with using these different components right away.
• Centerprise Data Integrator can mine data from unstructured and semi-structured data sources like pdf files and csv's. It means that virtually anything you have can be moved into a SQL database or fed into other systems.
• Centerprise Support has been excellent and responsive to our needs.

• I have not upgraded to the latest version, but in the last version, could use better descriptions in error messages.
• I have not upgraded to the latest version, but in the last version, it would be nice to have reports we could run or have emailed daily/weekly with success/failure of all jobs scheduled.

• Better documentation with examples of how to use connectors (i.e. what input/output must look like)
• Debugging functionality required to understand where pipelines fail and how data looks at that point
• SAP libraries (e.g. python hana_ml) should be STANDARD and pre-installed to avoid dockerfiles and other workarounds
• Dockerfile execution takes long times without giving a status where it is failing/held up
• HANA Read/Write Table operator throws TLS errors which are unlikely when HANA connection generally works

• We have seen that the use of this package saved us 2 hours per conversion but now since the templates are already developed it is saving us more. This reduces our lead time for conversions, and increases our efficiencies as a conversion team.
• We have four licenses and in one conversion this year it allowed us to do a conversion that would not have been done. This conversion generated more than enough money to cover the cost of these four licenses for the entire year. The customer is ecstatic about the information that we were able to pull out of their reports and most of all the upper management of our company had their socks shocked off of them. Since the supplier of the software for this customer would not provide data to us for a conversion our upper management was going to cancel the sale to this customer, unless the customer was going to build our system from scratch. We were able to provide nearly a complete accounting and payroll conversion to this customer all from the data on their reports thanks to centerprise.
