SAP Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

A data and analytics governance platform is a set of integrated business and technology capabilities that help business leaders and users develop and manage a diverse set of governance policies and enforce those policies across business and data management systems. These platforms are unique from data management in that data management focuses on policy execution, whereas D&A platforms are used primarily by business roles — not only or even specifically IT roles — for policy management. Data and analytics (D&A) leaders who are investing in operationalizing and automating the work of D&A governance should evaluate this market. The work of D&A governance primarily includes policy setting and policy enforcement, and collaborates with data management (policy execution). Use cases are employed across numerous governance policy categories and multiple business scenarios and asset types (data, KPIs, analytics models). The intersection of use-case/business scenarios, policy categories and assets to be governed is then used to identify the technology capability. These capabilities may share similar names across policy categories, but may not mean the same thing, or may be used differently by various governance personas. For example, data classification in a data security implementation would be quite different from a data classification effort for creating trust models, which would be based on lineage and curation.

Relatively easy to learn. Follows standards in configuration seen in SAP ERP. Decent user experience. Unfortunately, integration is not as simple as you'd expect from a product from the same vendor.

SAP is widely used in the company and as a first time user, I didn’t expect it to be so easy to understand and easy to navigate. It helps us with our processes, and the immersive experience of handling invoices in SAP helps us understand our process better. I also noticed that there are a lot of uses for the different transaction codes in SAP, and everything is as easy as the others in terms of navigation and it being comprehensible.
