    Oracle
    Pro - Stability. Does everything anyone could need. If it's not there it will be on the next update. There is plenty of support for it. It's been around for a long time and it's reliable. The support is well documented and has a great reputation. Cons - Errors have been found in the documentation provided by Oracle with guidelines, etc. Oracles salespeople have a reputation of being obnoxious and condescending.

    SAP Datasphere is well suited for scalable cloud based data integration scenarios which also opens up the doors for AI driven insights which are much harder to achieve with on-prem data warehouses. Considering the licensing model of SAP Datasphere being based on consumption driven capacity units cost can be a big consideration for organizations with large volumes of data that can be a pre-requisite for data mining and AI use cases. So this can be a bottleneck or not so well adopted scenario for SAP Datasphere.

    • Robust - this product doesn't have a lot of downtime. It's less prone to errors than some other tools I've worked with.
    • Scalable - we can keep adding more things to it. We haven't hit any roadblocks when we've tried to do more with our database.

    Cons
    Oracle
    • There is no access to the physical host of the DB. This is expected from a managed DB. Everything must be done through the console or via API calls. This is a new learning curve for the DBAs.
    • Due to the lack of physical host access, certain features are not supported, such as Transportable tablespaces and Oracle LogMiner.
    • Certain special data types, (such as XMLType) are not allowed; be sure the app vendor certifies their product on this platform.

    • Need to have a good understanding of the SAP ecosystem to implement and use it.
    • From a cost perspective it can be little bit on the expensive side for enterprises.
    • The platform is still new and hence more subjected to bugs. But support for it is always good from the SAP team.

    Datasphere can come with its own challenges which can feel like a mountain to get over. However, once one has an understanding of how the product works it becomes easier to use. Once the time is spent to get it setup and working correctly very little is needed to keep it running smoothly. Its a great tool it just takes time to learn.

    SAP has suggested that BW 7.5 will be sunset soon. Usability is good in SAP BW Modernization. Instead of going with other non-SAP tools, staying with SAP will be suitable for existing users. Across the board, many of them are moving to DataSphere.

    I would greatly acknowledge the services of Sap Data [warehouse Cloud] because we were struggling before its arrival where we used to get manual data connections and this used to consume a lot of time but after its use, we now are able to connect data easily saving a lot of time and finances.
