Joule vs. Cortana (discontinued)

Joule explained ATC findings, including root cause, business impact, recommended APIs, and examples of fixes for S/4HANA readiness checks. Joule today is a point-in-time assistant — great for one question, one generation, one explanation at a time. It is not yet capable of owning a full development flow.

It's easy for anyone who is expecting some simple AI problems like fetching the keywords, understanding the intent, language translation, etc. to be solved from an existing database and all they need is to connect to their APIs via a subscription model. But for complex use cases, there is still room for improvement like customization of underlying AI models for a specific use case like identifying some unique identifiers with respect to industry.

• Users can prompt Joule to create business partners in MDG.
• The change process for Business partner (Customers/Suppliers) updation is made easy, particularly for updating data such as address and communication details.
• The workflow process has been simplified by Joule agents, such as identifying the high-priority task and sharing it with the end user.
• Improved data quality to almost 30%~50% in the CR creation process, which is a significant milestone for us.

Incentivized

• Being hosted in Azure solves a massive hosting problem
• The language understanding system has the ability to revolutionize many vertical markets
• Integrating with Cortana Analytics was really simple due to easy to understand documentation

Incentivized

• In SuccessFactors Joule should have more tools out of the box.
• There should be more examples on what is possible to do with Joule or Joule Studio in Successfactors, all available examples seem to focus only on Payroll or Inventory management leaving the HR behind.
• Document Grounding should be easier to implement, and should be possible to have some kind of permissions per couuntry / user group for specific documents. The implementation with Sharepoint makes it harder to complete because normally we need some extra team to join and help and until now, I always had issues implementing it. I believe that it would make it much easier if the documents could be stored and managed inside SuccessFactors.

Incentivized

• More partnerships with colleges and schools to increase the workforce with technical knowledge (increase local workforce)
• Have more online training and documentation in other languages
• Have affordable prices for students

As we explore, we can learn more. As i believe, we can only learn to live and live to learn stuffs. So as well AI does the same and improve itself. By trying and prompting joule more, we can use it in better ways. I would definitely wait and use the new versions shared in SAP Teched on Joule with more LLM involved

Incentivized

I would rate Joule’s overall usability a 10 out of 10 because it makes interacting with SAP incredibly simple, intuitive, and fast. The conversational interface removes the complexity normally associated with navigating SAP modules, running transactions, or building reports. Even non-technical users can get meaningful insights within seconds just by asking natural language questions.

as its cloud based, as of now, we see it available all the time and havent faced any issues while accessing. Not sure if this has high availability and Disaster recovery features got set up already with the default version that we are using at our organization. no issues so far.

SAP Joule's pages load quickly and it does display the information on what we are looking for w.r.to the knowledge base or the SAP articles.

Usually support for Joule takes longer than normal, and the correct answer always takes a long time to get, or we just don't get it at all, and we fix ourselves.

Joule implementation was easy but it has too many steps, it would be nice if part of the steps could be done automatically.

Joule is better because it doesn't take only data available on the web, but combines that with data provided directly by the game publisher through API to us which includes every single match played = all data points from all of those matches. That means that for us Joule gives deeper insights than any online AI chat agent could do

IBM Watson Assistant has been early into this market and has improved a lot over time compared to Azure AI Cortana. More documentation related to the services. But Ease of integration Azure AI ranks over IBM Watson Assistant. And again in terms of services offered under the ecosystem, Azure AI precedes IBM Watson Assitant.

Incentivized

Yes as sap is used widely across organisation

Incentivized

• Allow us to have everyday operations smoother by automating repetitive tasks and reducing manual efforts, which saves time and improves efficiency.
• Facilitate effortless information access, since it allows us to search and receive instant responses.
• Reduces the complexity of SAP by pulling data from different modules and making it clear quickly.

Incentivized

• Difficult to ascertain the ROI as we are a software house who have developed a module in our application using Cortana. However for companies that use our software I would say the use of sentiment analysis in our application could free up at least 1 full time resource to be used elsewhere in their organisation.
