Overall Satisfaction with SAP Business Data Cloud

We use the business data cloud to solve our analytics requirements. We extract, transform, and model the data products in BDC and aim to implement AIML scenarios using Databricks in the business data cloud. We aim to avoid multiple systems in our analytics landscape and have one tool to solve our analytical requirements. For this reason, we aim to use BDC in our landscape and are excited to see this in action.

Pros

  • AIML use case handling.
  • Connection in SAP products.
  • Seamless planning.
  • Seamless integration with S4 HANA.

Cons

  • Fewer options compared to BW.
  • Connection to SAP tools like Service Cloud v2.
  • UX for users.
  • Avoid data bricks from Azure.
  • Use SAC seamlessly.
  • Use DSP seamlessly.
Low low-code environment is easy to use, good to have Python and SQL modelling features for new developers to use the tool. The insight feature is helpful. Databricks is very powerful when integrated with SAP Data Sphere. The BW modernization journey is made easy with BDC, which reduces effort and saves our investments made in the BW system.
Business data cloud is one tool that takes care of extraction, modelling, and AI ML use case in the landscape, whereas in other tools I was using multiple services to take care of each of the functions, hence BDC is a cool tool im action for our use cases. Low low-code option is better in BDC.

Do you think SAP Business Data Cloud delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with SAP Business Data Cloud's feature set?

Yes

Did SAP Business Data Cloud live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of SAP Business Data Cloud go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy SAP Business Data Cloud again?

Yes

It is best for scenarios where the source is primarily of sap, not necessarily only sap, but least sap is present in the landscape. There are improvement areas when we call this a replacement for bw, but not all the modelling features of bw are present in BDC. Yet to see the AIML use case in action, looking forward to seeing this in action.
