myNeutron vs. SAP Business Data Cloud

SAP Business Data Cloud is suited mainly for SAP data integration. We could able to easily consolidate the data from S4 and service cloud V2 system. SAP Business Data Cloud enables realtime data replications. We could able to leverage the AI core features. As my previous data warehousing skill is from SAP BW, I am missing some basic features comparing to BW. Master data manual maintenance, Time dependant masterdata, language independent text is also not straightforward.

• Support for AI/ML use cases with SAP Data bricks and without the need to physically transfer the data from datasphere environment.
• Provide near realtime data for analytics from S4C public cloud via data products which was the primary business problem that our customers were concerned with
• Provides support to use the best of both the worlds like SAP and Databricks
• New releases that support for the zero-copy delta share via SAP Business Data Cloud connect to other products like snowflake, google big query and other products in roadmap
• Moving towards the lakehouse architecture or similar architecture from the former warehouse architecture to meet the increasing demand for the data

• Though SAP Business Data Cloud supports non-SAP data, integration is still not user friendly
• Since it combines multiple services together, Cost is based on usage of the tool
• Could be better if there is automated BW to SAP Business Data Cloud migration tool along with ABAP logic conversion support

I have done implementation of models in traditional bw and Using BDC. The integration of BDC with S4 hana for creating sap data products is seamless and reduces lot of implementation effort. The intelligent app feature is BDC also eases the implementation effort. If i have to compare the previous world with new BDC, implementation effort is largely saved

With a S4 backend a lot of core functionality is made simpler - authorization, data types, currency conversion. In particular if the front end choice is SAP Analytics Cloud. The lack of a good connection from Power BI to the datasphere application (instead of the underlying HANA cloud) is a major drawback in that scenario.
