SAP Business Data Cloud component SAP DataSphere is used as a data warehouse, collecting and harmonising the data into final product consumed by business users. This serves as a cleansing, harmonisation, information management solution.

Pros

  • Data Replication from SAP Source systems

  • There are certain stability issues, when the BDC is being used for daily solution - in case of downtimes, many issues may be a reason

Likelihood to Recommend

It is perfect for data fabric placement - when you can use the data products, prepared by IT Team members, and allow business users that are IT savvy to create their own data models

SAP Business Data Cloud

Rating: 7 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use SAP Analytics Cloud for monthly financial planning and reporting in addition with a SAP BW/4 system which is connected via live connection. Currently our BW/4 system is still on premise, but we check if an integration in the SAP Business Data Cloud makes sense. SAC as part of the SAP Business Data Cloud universe provides respective functionality to collect the respective plan data via direct input layouts as well as Excel-based input or upload functionality, which is required by our businesses. In addition we use the validations and data action functionality to ensure data quality and perform additional calculations.

Pros

  • Very flexible - good tradeoff between standard functionality and enhancement possibility via scripting
  • good integration with other SAP products
  • especially strong in planning functionality compared to others

Cons

  • not always intuitive where functions are hidden in cascaded submenues
  • Performance and stability is not always given especially compared to other more usecase-specialized products

Likelihood to Recommend

SAP Business Data Cloud is very good in integration with other SAP products and strong in functionality especially for more complex scenarios. Especially if functionality is missing, this can mostly be solved using a custom-built workaround via scripting
