    SAP
    SAP BW is best for: 1. Large enterprises 2. Enterprises with 3+ legacy systems with entrenched users (politically difficult to merge) 3. Enterprises with employees who can understand both the technical capabilities of SAP BW and the needs of the business users - ability to speak both languages, otherwise the program could be unwieldy and potentially underutilized (it's not particularly inexpensive) SAP BW is less appropriate for: 1. Small enterprises 2. Enterprises who have well established, same location, CRM and UFS - the integration of data analysis will be easier and less expensive with other solutions 3. HANA

    If you need to execute ml algorithms, learning techniques, or mathematical calculations on large amounts of heterogeneous data, VMware Tanzu Data Services will be ideal. It will be really simple to set up, particularly if you choose AWS as your integrated cloud provider. However, if you're working with lower data amounts, such as gigabytes, it can be superfluous.

    • SAP Business Warehouse tells you who has a part checked out so you can find it.

    Usability

    The overall usability is robust. The tool offers lot of native feature to achieve all the data warehousing functions. Starting from data modelling to reporting and authorisation, the tool provided native features for almost all the areas of analytics. Integration of hybrid modelling with hana studio opened the usage of sql functions with the sap analytics

    SAP Business Warehouse scores higher in data warehouse functionalities for integration to SAP ERP and other SAP solutions such as SAP CRM, SAP APO, and SAP SRM. Standard SAP data source extractors which are available in SAP ERP can be used immediately for full or delta replication into SAP Business Warehouse. System governance in SAP Business Warehouse is top-notch with change management support for migration between system landscape from the development system to production system.

    Return on Investment
    SAP
    • Positive - This tool report output is in Excel so it's a good tool if your users are familiar with Excel.
    • Positive: this tool has rich BI content so developing extractors for standard processes from SAP ECC can be done in minutes.
    • Negative: It lacks lot of features which are available in other newer tools today. For ex. - rich charts, rich filtering, exporting capabilities, user interface.
    • Negative: Its not a plug and play tool like Qlikview, Lumira, or Tableau. Even a single report development in this tool takes a lot of time compared to others.
