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.

SAP data sphere played an import role in data unification in cases where data from multiple sources is to be ingested into single platform for processing. Theoretically it can support data ingestion from both SAP and non-SAP data sources. It can even access data from foreign sources. SAP has good team of professionals to help you with onboarding and support requirements.
  • Service & Support for onboarding
  • integration with the existing BI platform
  • automating complicated, repetitive laborious manual procedures
  • Lack of documentation availability
  • No Mobile application
  • Cost/ Pricing
One of the best use cases for SAP data sphere is ecommerce and retail business where a lot of locations are constantly generating a lot of data and we need to make important business decisions based on that data. SAP data sphere can help wit integrating multiple data sources and help with analytics, data processing, modeling and making business predictions.

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.

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.

We have been using SAP Data Warehouse Cloud to build a POC for the client. The main business challenge is to handle large volumes of data and the ability to run successful analytics and reports. SAP DWC tool has been very instrumental in streamlining the analytical requirements.

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.

Making decisions there before implementing SAP Data Warehouse Cloud was challenging since we were partially relying on manual processes. With integrated database, data warehouse, data integration, and analytics it is seamless to visualize data for real-time data-centric decisions making.
  • Consolidate data from flat files and other SAP & non-SAP data sources.
  • Self-service data preparation features is another great aspect about SAP DWC.
  • Reusing existing BW models capitalize already existing investments which reduce the usage of company resources.
  • The learning curve was simple although integrated capabilities accelerated implementation, when we were implementing it, it didn't have enough white papers for the features.
Virtual workspaces on SAP Data Warehouse Cloud have enabled every single employee in our organization to connect, model, visualize data on their own while securely sharing the insights through user-friendly self-service portals.

Before incorporating SAP Data Warehouse Cloud, we were relying on manual data processing processes. We are yet to deploy it across all business divisions. It saves time when collecting, modeling, visualizing, and sharing data.
  • Create a common cloud workspace for data visualization.
  • Connect data across all data centers in our organization.
  • Provide prebuilt LOB contents, data models, and templates that accelerate implementation.
  • It's flexible and allows users to connect ETL tools of their preference.
  • Unlike SAP Analytics Cloud, the vendor does not offer a free tier for SAP Data Warehouse Cloud. However, the cost per capacity unit billed monthly isn't exaggerated.
SAP Data Warehouse Cloud is both for IT and business users. Ever since we Implemented this solution, I started working on my own by transforming data into insights and making in-the-moment decisions without support from IT personnel.

Data only isn't important without modeling, analyzing, and visualizing it. In the two organizations that I am currently working for, SAP Data Warehouse Cloud is the one that helps users to connect data with business context.
  • Virtual workspaces improve team collaboration on the same data.
  • SAP Data Warehouse Cloud enables us to preserve data quality.
  • Implementation was easy since there was no coding needed.
  • Having expertise with SAP Data Warehouse Cloud in two industries simultaneously has enabled me to confirm that there's nothing missing on it. This is based on my experience though, but I have never needed a single data analytics tool and ended up missing it.
I rarely process data given that SAP Data Warehouse Cloud allocates built-in modeling tools. I can't wait to see my colleagues who aren't using this tool join me there so that we can visualize data together through self-service portals.

It's nearly 6 years now ever since we implemented SAP Data Warehouse Cloud in my current firm. It has simplified data integration and visualization with the pre-integrated database, data integration, warehouse, and analytics capabilities.
  • Do not involve a lot of manual tasks due to BW model option.
  • Cut short resources utilization by reusing customizations and data models.
  • Has robust backend integration tool that makes it effective to collect data from multi-cloud and on-premise applications.
  • There are occasional bugs that we experience on SAP Data Warehouse Cloud, but since it's based on cloud deployment, we barely last with the issue for long.
Are you a business person struggling to make data-driven decisions. SAP Data Warehouse Cloud is the best way to go since it offers self-service data preparation tools which reduce time and effort during data visualization.

I started using SAP Data Warehouse Cloud in my previous organization til now at DPR. This tool enhances data analytics and integration. Self-service data preparation and built-in data models reduce the workforce during the visualization of data.
  • Simplified implementation as a result of preintegrated capabilities.
  • Enhance secure data sharing.
  • Collect and integrate data across multi-cloud and on-premise applications in the entire organization.
  • Machine learning and natural language capabilities.
  • I have never come across and featured on SAP Data Warehouse Cloud that needs to be improved. In terms of usability, it has a clean UI and offers self-service data preparation tools, but some non-IT users in our organization require support from IT guys.

As a Development Specialist in my current organization, I require to unlock insights on a daily basis to make informed business decisions. SAP Data Warehouse Cloud allocates cloud analytics capabilities that aid in data visualization. Nonetheless, the pricing to mid and upper mid-size corporations can be extremely high.
  • No coding needed to connect, model, visualize and share data.
  • Self-service data preparation reduce data processing workload.
  • Offers 30 days free trial extendable upto 90 days.
  • In-built data models save time and expenses.
  • They should offer discounts on pricing or add more cpu units across all plans.
  • Also, an on-premise platform for tracking metrics should be incorporated like that on the Google Cloud Platform.
I can't remember the last time I manually processed data at the workplace. SAP Data Warehouse Cloud has completely eradicated data experts by equipping us with virtual workspaces, built-in business content, and no-code environment. That way, we understand business data rapidly.
