SAP Agile Data Preparation is well suited for an organization with loads of data where data can be transformed, analyzed and shared on a single click. Thus, the software is well suited for organization which have intense data working. Further, the software is not suited for small/medium organization as there data would be comparatively less and they may not be able to afford the software.

Our organization chose SAP Agile Data Preparation because of its brand name and the pricing. The software was feasible for the organization as it provides loads of feature as compared to other software's at a reasonable price. Additionally, SAP Agile Data Preparation is powered by SAP HANA so that is a prerequisite to data preparation freedom. Also, at the implementation stage the software was working really efficiently in terms of features, durability and performance.
