RapidMiner is really fantastic to perform fast ETL processes and work on your data as you want, no matter what is the source. You will really save a lot of time when you learn how to use it. You can create mining analysis with several algorithms, and thanks to add-ons, you can apply a lot of techniques. It will not replace a business intelligence dashboard but it allows to create great datamarts for your BI tools. One negative thing is that It's no easy to share your outputs.

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.

Pros
Altair Engineering, Inc.
  • I am very impressed at how easily you can work within RapidMiner without much data analytics training. Plus with the help of the crowd, you can see what steps others have taken with their data analytics projects.
  • Text mining was simple and clean. We used this for our call transcription problem where we didn't have the resources to listen to each call. We needed to qualify each call based on some key phrases.
  • Our direct mail program was large and not very targeted. Using RapidMiner, we were able to isolate a predictive level we felt comfortable with and decided not to send to anyone below that level. We saved quite a bit of money.

  • 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

Cons
Altair Engineering, Inc.
  • I hope RapidMiner would be the first data science platform that allows data scientists to change the behaviour of a machine learning algorithm that already exists in the repository. For example, I want to be able to change the way a genetic algorithm mutates.
  • Automatic programming: One day, I hope RapidMiner can automatically generate codes in any 4th generation programming language based on the developed model.
  • More tutorials/samples needed: Why doesn't RapidMiner becomes the next 'UC Irvine Machine Learning Repository'? Provide real examples and real cases for users to study and understand the best practices in modelling. RapidMiner already has some datasets for a tutorial. Besides the existing samples, I hope RapidMiner can provide more sample data and examples.

  • 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

We tried different data tools and we figured we give RapidMinder Studio a shot as one of our employees had experience with it, and when compared to some of the other tools that we used it was the best fit among the test group that we used. Overall it was a little more fluid and user-friendly.

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.

  • 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
