Overall Satisfaction with SAP Data Intelligence

We are an early adopter of [SAP] Data Intelligence (DI), for which we are pioneering use cases with SAP as a partner company. Our broad goals are to increase transparency and reduce risk for renewable energy investors. Specifically with with DI we can set up real time monitoring pipelines using Machine Learning models that continuously compare historic power generation asset performance with their current performance. This provides early under performance warnings to the owner/investor so they can take action to avoid excessive costs due to mechanical failures or other equipment down times.
  • It integrates well with our current ecosystem of SAP products, like HANA.
  • It provides end-to-end machine learning operations, with tools for the complete model life cycle.
  • It has a simple user interface for novice users, with complex tools also available for power users.
  • It builds on SAP Data Hub, providing all the ETL functions of that tool with additional machine learning functionality.
  • It can run in the cloud, no on-premise software management needed.
  • Many programming languages are supported, it provides a sandbox environment for the user to develop in whichever style they prefer.
  • SAP is very actively developing and improving it.
  • The administration tools are still in development, currently SAP must be contacted for most admin tasks.
  • Updates sometimes introduce unwanted instabilities.
  • The documentation and examples use cases are still being written and need to be expanded.
  • It allows us to use ML/AI to provide real tangible benefits to our customers.
  • It has strengthened our relationship with SAP as a partner company.
  • On-boarding new data science team members is simplified.
SAP Data Intelligence is one of the first enterprise comprehensive data science platforms to market. We chose it because of our strong relationship to SAP and our existing ecosystem of SAP products.

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

Not sure

Are you happy with SAP Data Intelligence's feature set?

Yes

Did SAP Data Intelligence live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of SAP Data Intelligence go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy SAP Data Intelligence again?

Yes

SAP Data Intelligence is suitable for large scale commercial machine learning applications where hundreds or thousands of similar but unique processes must be independently monitored, for scenarios that must run automatically and repeatedly without data scientist involvement, and for scenarios where data is continuously collected. It is less appropriate for specialized data science projects with a fixed data set that will not be repeated.
