SAP DataSphere provides significant contributions to companies in the field of data management and analytics. With the advantages it offers in data integration, quality, security and accessibility, it allows business processes to become more efficient and strategic decisions to be taken based on information. As a result, SAP DataSphere stands out as a strong supporter in companies' digital transformation journey.
  • user friendly
  • Comprehensive Integration
  • Real Time Data Stream
  • data transfer to external systems
It makes transferring data from sources much easier. However, I think it is weak in transferring data to other sources.

We sell it to customers and implement it.
  • User Friendly
  • Easy Data Integration
  • Connection to SAP is seamless
  • BW migrations via BW Bridge seems to be convoluted and not straight forward
  • Need a certification program
  • More capabilities similar to BW4HANA
Less appropriate for existing BW customers. Greenfield it is far easier to convince customers. SAP Datasphere with HANA cloud is extremely expensive.

We implement SAP Datasphere (DSP) at our clients to be used as the datawarehouse of choice. On top we use SAP Analytics Cloud to build front end reporting. In DSP both SAP and non SAP (Excel /...) sources are combined, transformed, used to create calculations and business logic uppon. DSP is in that case the sole source of truth for our reporitng.
  • Data integration
  • Data exposure to sac
  • Complex calculations
  • Embed non SAP data
Creating a new datawarehous eplatform for a recently transformed client to S/4HANA. This by replacing the current setups of for example SAP BW.

Productive usage to distribute all relevant SAP BI Data to our customer. For e.g. Qlik Sense and Google BigQuery.
Actual problem, is the integeration in nonSAP tools. The consumtption for openSQL Connection is not that smart as for SAP Analytics Cloud. We want an bi-directional functionality for all interfaces. Neither its an SAP Product or not.
  • development speed
  • performance
  • connection to BW
  • sql modelling
  • integration in non SAP tools
  • differentiation between BW and DS
- suitebale for not to complex data models
- suitable for data integration
- strong space concept
- not suitable for ai
- not suitable for complex datamodells

we use Datasphere to produce sales reporting among multiple instances of SAP to have one source of truth
  • sales reporting combining SAP tables
  • SAP and non-SAP environment integration
  • integration among multiple SAP instances
  • connection to 3rd party can be easier (tableau instead of SAP)
  • ecc and S/4HANA integration at the same time should be easier
i am a user and consultant of SAP BW for many years so Datasphere is now amazing when you compare

Over the years, SAP software has been used by our team to address data routine. Specifically, we use SAP Datasphere to integrate data from diverse sources both on-premise and in the cloud. The software assists with cataloging structured and unstructured data assets, which is profoundly useful in saving time as the team is easily all caught-up on their available data.
  • Integrates data from diverse sources; both on-premises or in the cloud
  • Catalog both structured and unstructured data assets.
  • Assess and improve data quality
  • Provides tools for tracking data chain
  • Improve the User Interface to make the software more intuitive.
  • Improve the integration process with other products to boost overall value
  • Increase their documentation and user guide
SAP Datasphere is well suited for various situations and use cases across different establishments. However, they are particularly fitted in large enterprises with multitude and complex data routines as the software solution allows integration from variety of sources. It is also a go-to for operations that extract and load (ETL) data from multiple systems.

SAP helps me integrate, visualize and process data effectively and efficiently. Data retrieval and analysis using SAP is much easier and more robust comparatively. Also, it is easy to connect and join data at elsewhere and integrate them and/or remove the redundancies more smoothly. The cloud linkage and workflow are the best suite.
  • Data from numerous sources, both locally and on the cloud, is simple to integrate.
  • Simplified and detailed data visualization tools.
  • simple and rapid development
  • Integrate previously existing data models.
  • High cost and maintainence
  • There are no free services available, no free demo application use cases which makes the user not have an overview how efficient it is.
  • Virtual servers are sometimes laggy and slow..
SAP is quite good at combining data from several sources. It has the ability to connect to a range of databases, cloud services, and on-premises systems. Before transferring data to other systems for analytics or reporting, we can utilize it to transform and clean the data.
SAP Datasphere is good for large volumes of data; small datasets get the stuff overcomplicated.

Previously, we were using Google Analytics on all our sites to visualize user analytics, behaviors, etc. But recently, we made the switch to SAP Datasphere, which is also a SaaS. As our organization was already using SAP BTP, we were able to make the switch to SAP Datasphere conveniently, which helped us in Data Discovery and distribution. This was particularly needed in our organization as we have a vast number of data-oriented platforms and have a huge number of clients using those. Hence, we started using SAP Datasphere for tracking, managing, and modeling those data across all our platforms.
  • Catalogs data across all our platforms into a single and centralised hub.
  • Data Discovery, Data Governance and of course real time visualisation of data.
  • Includes access controlled mechanism to monitor data reading privileges.
  • 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.
The sites and platforms that we implemented already were using SAP BTP and SAP Ariba, and hence were well suited and habituated to the SAP ecosystem. Hence making the switch to SAP Datasphere along with SAP Cloud Analytics wasn't that difficult for our team and organisation. Just our team has more than 200 sites contained in 6 different platforms. Tracking, modeling, and analyzing data across all these different platforms was very cumbersome for us sometimes. But SAP Datasphere, with its Data Discovery, was able to centralize all those data which we were easily able to model and analyze.

We now have all of our data catalogued and unified with SAP Datasphere. We are using it to create new visuals for our data reports and delviering bettern analysis in general. Some of our researchers can be really granular but the ecosystem adjusts to it well.
  • Visualisation
  • Data cataloguing
  • Integrated services
  • Not intuitive to set up
  • Not for novice users
  • Not enough of visual choices
  • Data not always verified properly
It is not built for super complex tasks but for the daily operations it is perfect. Data intergrity checks would definitely need some attention as we've been having difficulties with them. Current visuals are enough but there always can be more. Not every user in my team was able to jump on the tool without a proper walkthrough.

It is a new Data management tool from SAP with tight integration with SAP BTP. The positioning is little confusing since not sure whether it replaces SAP BW, or any other CDP platform. It is a combination of individual components like SAP analytics cloud and help in all processes of data in the organization
  • Data visualization on SAC
  • Keeping the core clean using SAP BTP
  • API support
  • Nothing as such. Tool needs maturity
It is suited if you have entire ecosystem of SAP products and need one robust platform to manage all your data and analytics needs

I use SAP Datasphere on a daily basis at workplace. I am able to relish a lit of issues with the help of this program. It is seamless, rapid and accurate to model, prepare and visualize data across varied sources.
  • SAP Datasphere allows me to make informed decisions by automating data modeling, preparation and visualization.
  • Furthermore, SAP Datasphere offered prebuilt content and pre-integrated services like datalake and databases.
  • It simplify data landscape through business data fabric.
  • It offered a free trial.
  • Too bad, SAP vendor does offer free trial but seldom do they offer freemium version.
  • Unavailability of mobile application and deficiency in documentation for features.
SAP Datasphere allows me to bring SAP and non-SAP data in one central location for real-time data modeling and visualization when making decisions.

It is one of the most simplified tool and its user interface helps in easy familiarization. Overall for Inventory management, FEFO adherence and for tracking and tracebility it is one of the best software. It helps in SKU wise segregation and picking packing list generation system based. Automated picking list helps in creating trust with customers.
  • Automatic Picking List
  • Location Control
  • Tracking and tracebility
  • Inventory controls
  • Could be Integrated with Barcodes
  • Further Improvisation with training modules
  • Updation of softwares
It is one of the key warehouse management tools available today whose Interface is user friendly and helps in understanding important pointers at just click. It helps to understand the Touch points so well and help in mapping locations and Inventory control be it Distribution or dispatch quite easily. Overall one hell of software

We have one space managed by IT for all governed data models and expose this to other spaces where users from each department can enhance the models to their own needs! In this way, end users have way more flexibility in making changes to the models without interference from IT
  • No code modeling
  • Data access controls
  • Selfservice
  • Combining data from DWC with predictive analysis in SAC with a live connection
DWC is the first tool I have seen that really can easily facilitate self service data warehousing from a business user point of view

Consolidate data from S/4HANA Cloud and SuccessFactors.
  • Modeling
  • Lineage
  • View persistence
  • Predictive analytics with SAC
  • Improved modeling data builder performance
It’s less stored for complex analytics scenarios with 60+ developers. This is due to the extremely limited and poor transport management and change management capabilities. Please please just use git - do not re-invent the wheel.

We use the SAP Data Warehouse Cloud in our company in parallel with our on-premise BW on HANA. In the future, we plan to migrate our system to the SAP Data Warehouse Cloud using the BW Bridge. We use our company data for the budget and annual financial statements and for financial control during the year
  • ad hoc reporting
  • analysis of the data
  • simple data management
  • planning functions
  • not as far as bw/4hana yet
  • transparent license costs
  • clear strategy of sap with regard to the data warehouse
In principle, the SAP Data Warehouse Cloud is the strategic product of SAP with regard to reporting and the data warehouse. We use the product in parallel operation with the existing on-premise system and have already noticed that many functions from the on-premise system are not available in the dwc. Nevertheless, this path is important and correct for us

For 3+ years now in my current organization, SAP Data Warehouse Cloud has been a time-saving solution. It allows me to connect data with the business context in one place through analytics cloud capabilities.
  • Integrate data from multiple sources into one cloud analytics solution.
  • Offers pre-integrated capabilities (database, data warehouse, integration, and intelligence).
  • For the four years that I have been using SAP DWC, the support team has been helpful whenever I encounter issues, they resolve errors rapidly.
SAP Data Warehouse Cloud is a great solution that offers database, data warehouse, intelligence, and integration tools in one spot. I would recommend all business users looking to unlock insights rapidly to try it asap.

SAP BW bridge enabled us to implement new data warehousing cases in SAP Data Warehouse Cloud. This cloud solution has more advantages compared to the latter. It's widely used across all business units in my current corporation.
  • SAP Data Warehouse Cloud combines data and analytics in one integrated cloud solution with analytics services, data warehouse, integration, and database.
  • It seamlessly integrate with SAP ERP systems, which simplify data integration.
  • I started using SAP Data Warehouse Cloud at ADCS in 2016 now and I barely come across any missing capability from analytics services, database, data integration to the data warehouse.
It's been a long waiting to convert on-premises investments to the cloud. Through remote and shell conversions on the new release SAP BW 7.5, we save time connecting, modeling, and visualizing data from on-premise applications.
