Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

user friendly
Comprehensive Integration
Real Time Data Stream

data transfer to external systems

Likelihood to Recommend

It makes transferring data from sources much easier. However, I think it is weak in transferring data to other sources.

March 22, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

SAP Datasphere is the hub for all of our data. We are connected to various source systems and store the data into datasphere. We have a very decentralized business, so the goal of implementing datasphere was to centralize to a single source of truth.

Pros

Connectivity
Data modeling
Security

Cons

AI
More SQL functionality available in low-code solution
Data persistence

Likelihood to Recommend

Decentralized companies would be benefit from implementation datasphere to centralize into a single source of truth

SAP Datasphere is best

March 22, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are trying to leverage SAP Datasphere for our ETL process, we did not have any dedicated ETL tool in our organization till now. We use Qlik currently, we are trying to be SAP centric and leverage Datasphere capabilities and seamlessly connect with SAP Analytics cloud. With Datasphere we can reuse the Analytics models in multiple SAC stories, which was not possible in Qlik. (we use/used Qlik for extraction and visualization)

Pros

Dimensional modeling
Graphical view

Cons

Improvements in SLT

Likelihood to Recommend

SAP Datasphere best suited us with the reusability of the views and models. Data flows came in very handy to be used. Python scripting in dataflows is a plus point where we sometimes use python functions to modify our data which SAP Datasphere is not able to. The Row level security is the area we are still trying to explore and make sure how we can leverage.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Datasphere as our Enterprise Warehouse. The native connections to S4HANA, ECC, and SuccessFactors helped us rapidly get there. Our scope is to build a Data Fabric with all our sources to consume, mainly from SAC. We have seen continuous improvement in the product since we started two years ago.

Pros

Native connectivity.
Data Federation.
Flexible modeling.

Cons

More ETL capabilities in Data Flow.

Likelihood to Recommend

Faster turnaround time in building data fabric with good federation and replication possibilities. Data flows need improvement with conditional loading, error handling, etc.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Now we are using this tool for our sales department. We have the reporting tool Tableu. And we cannot integrate Tableau and our SAP ECC. Because of that, we implemented SAP Datasphere solution to integrate all data.

Pros

A lot of integration point
Increase size
Easy to implement

Cons

Connecting with SAP Datasphere is not easy
Network issues

Likelihood to Recommend

We can integrate SAP ECC and Oracle. We combined data easily. Also, we would like to implement all plants.

SAP Datasphere Needs to Be cheaper

Rating: 7 out of 10

November 16, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We sell it to customers and implement it.

Pros

User Friendly
Easy Data Integration
Connection to SAP is seamless

Cons

BW migrations via BW Bridge seems to be convoluted and not straight forward
Need a certification program
More capabilities similar to BW4HANA

Likelihood to Recommend

Less appropriate for existing BW customers. Greenfield it is far easier to convince customers. SAP Datasphere with HANA cloud is extremely expensive.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We implement SAP Datasphere (DSP) at our clients to be used as the datawarehouse of choice. On top we use SAP Analytics Cloud to build front end reporting. In DSP both SAP and non SAP (Excel /...) sources are combined, transformed, used to create calculations and business logic uppon. DSP is in that case the sole source of truth for our reporitng.

Pros

Data integration
Data exposure to sac
Complex calculations

Cons

Embed non SAP data

Likelihood to Recommend

Creating a new datawarehous eplatform for a recently transformed client to S/4HANA. This by replacing the current setups of for example SAP BW.

SAP Datasphere... 2 years after

November 14, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Productive usage to distribute all relevant SAP BI Data to our customer. For e.g. Qlik Sense and Google BigQuery.
Actual problem, is the integeration in nonSAP tools. The consumtption for openSQL Connection is not that smart as for SAP Analytics Cloud. We want an bi-directional functionality for all interfaces. Neither its an SAP Product or not.

Pros

development speed
performance
connection to BW

Cons

sql modelling
integration in non SAP tools
differentiation between BW and DS

Likelihood to Recommend

- suitebale for not to complex data models
- suitable for data integration
- strong space concept
- not suitable for ai
- not suitable for complex datamodells
