    The platform is best suited for detailed exploration and filtering that allow users to examine the specific records
    that pass or fail a criterion and how they might relate to each other. It also assist in seeing past jobs and compare how quality has changed, providing
    more context than just point values.

    It's definitely one of the leading ETL tools, and it's the best ETL tool to use with SAP integration. If you use SAP HANA, then you should think about Data Services as your primary ETL tool.

    • Debugging is not very easy. When one wants to see the flow of data from one Query to another, the process is not very smooth and efficient.
    • A lot of functions do not behave the way they should. I have faced problems with the count() function.
    • I have faced problems while loading Excel files. The same set of options will work in one case but not in the other.
