November 2, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used SAP Datasphere to integrate data from various sources as we had on-premises data servers, cloud applications and IoT devices. This tool allowed us to present the data to non-technical people blatantly and improve the business processes, make better decisions and identify the lacking features in our current application. Overall, SAP Datasphere is a versatile and powerful tool that can help organizations to get more value from their data.

Pros

semantic modeling
data cataloging
data virtualization

Cons

built-in machine learning engine
ease of use
integration with other products

Likelihood to Recommend

We have been working on ecommerce company and we have several data servers and point-of-sale systems. We wanted to collect and integrate all this data to create a unified view of its customers, orders and inventory. And we also desired to use this data to power its BI dashboards and reports. Additionally, we wanted to predict the futuristic demand for the goods. Hence, we utilized SAP Datasphere for data catalogue and data governance policies; and created semantic models of the data, then we created the Power BI dashboards and reports to share the insight of data.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

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

Cons

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

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Thinking about SAP Datasphere. Just go for it!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

December 12, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

SAP solved all kinds of business problems since we needed a SAAS tool with data warehousing capabilities. Given the large business use cases we use, real time data availability was a challenge and SAP data warehousing has solved this for us with ease. Cloud transitions have been easy as well.

Pros

Data Integration
Real time data
Data lookup

Cons

More seamless cloud integration
More visual analytics
Tackling more complex data

Likelihood to Recommend

SAP Data Warehouse Cloud provides great data integration capabilities and warehousing almost the entire data through cloud and even provides analytics considering the wide range of data. It is suited for organisations which want real time data availability. Cloud integration on the other hand could be more seamless with some better analytics available in terms of visualisation

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

Pros

No code modeling
Data access controls
Selfservice

Cons

Combining data from DWC with predictive analysis in SAC with a live connection

Data modeling.
Analytics

Likelihood to Recommend

SAP Data Warehouse Cloud is a viable SaaS option to provide organizations with a platform to perform data integrations, deployments, reporting and analytics, and other BI functions that can connect to other SAP and non-SAP sources and tools.

SAP Data Warehouse Cloud at public sector

October 6, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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

Pros

ad hoc reporting
analysis of the data
simple data management

Cons

planning functions
not as far as bw/4hana yet
transparent license costs
clear strategy of sap with regard to the data warehouse

Likelihood to Recommend

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
