    Pipefy is very well suited if you have a team doing any sort of process... for real! It simplified everything from our sales and marketing objectives/processes, to our onboarding and accounting side of things. Since you can share different pipes with others, it's easy to see where others are at in the process and move the card along while keeping others informed. It makes sure you don't miss any information or steps along the way, which is great if your process is detail-oriented. It is a little less appropriate for marketing efforts, but we still try to use it to keep track of things in a central space. Definitely best suited for sales, technical things, and accounting.

    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.

    • 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

    SAP Business Data Cloud has been highly available and reliable for our day-to-day activities. We have experienced very few disruptions, and the platform generally performs consistently. The reason for not awarding a perfect score is that occasional maintenance activities or cloud service issues can occur, as is common with any enterprise SaaS platform. Overall, availability has met our business needs very well.

    SAP Business Data Cloud provides solid overall performance, with pages and standard reports generally loading within an acceptable timeframe. The platform handles enterprise-scale data and analytics workloads effectively. While very large datasets, complex reports, or extensive integrations can occasionally impact response times, overall performance has been reliable and suitable for business operations.

    Pipefy support is pretty good. There were a few instances where the agent didn't really understand what I was trying to get help with, but that was only once. Every other time it has been pretty fast and efficient. They are also very kind and understanding. I don't think they need much help in that dept

    It will be more effective. Higher Engagement and Focus. we can ask questions and get the clarity on the spot. Better Knowledge Retention. Stronger Collaboration and Networking. Overall it will be a rich Communication. Sensitive or complex topics are often easier to discuss in person. Informal discussions during breaks often lead to valuable knowledge sharing.

    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

    We started using software we already had (such as Slack and Sheets) but this software is not actually ideal to manage processes, which led to errors, miscommunication, and execution problems. Trello is good for managing demand but offers no process customization or approval and Jira is too focused on development for our needs, and also hard to customize.

    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.

    Contract Terms and Pricing Model
    Pipefy
    No answers on this topic
    SAP
    I would rate the contract terms and pricing structure of SAP Business Data Cloud as 7 out of 10. The pricing model is generally aligned with enterprise-scale deployments and provides flexibility for organizations looking to consolidate data, analytics, and governance capabilities on a single platform. The contract terms are comprehensive, and SAP offers multiple licensing options to support different business requirements and growth scenarios.The primary reason for this rating is that the pricing and licensing structure can be complex to understand, particularly when estimating long-term costs as data volumes, users, and workloads increase. Greater transparency around consumption-based charges, usage forecasting, and future scaling costs would make planning easier. I would also prefer simpler licensing bundles and more predictable pricing tiers. Overall, the model supports enterprise needs well, but additional simplicity and clarity would improve the customer experience and make budgeting more straightforward.

    SAP Business Data Cloud provides strong scalability for enterprise data management and analytics, supporting growth in data volumes, users, and business use cases. The platform's extensibility and integration capabilities make it adaptable across departments and sites. The reason I did not rate it higher is that large-scale deployments may require additional effort around governance, integration, and advanced customization to fully realize enterprise-wide adoption

    The professional services team demonstrated strong technical expertise and a solid understanding of data integration, analytics, governance, and cloud architecture. They provided valuable guidance during planning, implementation, and configuration phases, helping accelerate deployment and reduce potential risks. Their recommendations aligned well with best practices and supported a smooth transition to the platform.The reason I did not assign a higher rating is that some specialized requirements required additional consultation cycles and coordination between different teams, which occasionally extended timelines. In certain cases, deeper industry-specific examples or more tailored implementation guidance would have been beneficial. Despite these challenges, the team remained responsive, collaborative, and focused on achieving business outcomes. Overall, the professional services engagement added significant value and helped maximize the benefits of the SAP Business Data Cloud investment.

    • SAP Business Data Cloud has made it very simple for Dashboards and stories to be created using various features provided to users
    • Due to High maintenance and governance costs not many users are convinced to move from legacy systems like BOBJ.
    • Data fabric architecture has made it very simple and cost effective to bring various models onboard to SAP Business Data Cloud
