Finance department and the construction department have saved an enormous amount of hours in automating a few processes with these integration capabilities of SAP DSP. The integration options available in Datasphere helped to automate the Cost quotation tool implementation for construction. It involved SharePoint integration, CPI with weather data integration to datasphere models along with SAP BI Data and import models to SAC using ODATA. The project has been successfully piloted in 5 regions and is being rolled out in a phased manner. This will avoid manual errors at each stage of construction, and the plan is to onboard 400 planners across the globe. We have already done 140 planners, and the solution is highly valued by business. The front end in SAC adds value because of the direct connectivity and paginated reports and approval workflows are in place. This solution is a trend setter for SAC / DWC adaptability

The platform allows you to work with data virtually, without unnecessary replication, which speeds up projects and reduces storage costs.

1. The product is user friendly and easier to setup 2. Development is simple and takes less effort for build 3. Has wide range of connectors that can be used

The options available to search for specific tables in replication flow sources can be improved There is no way to change the ownership of artifacts other than the 'Assign to Me' option Folder access control privileges in roles Selective exposure of objects in a space is not possible. The entire space is exposed to the DB user.

some features still feel incomplete, and a few transformations

1. Error handling and monitoring is not well laid out as it gets a little confusing 2. This product is supposed to replace SAP Data Intelligence Cloud, but it does not directly replace the tool as some use cases are not directly applicable here

Systems has 99.8% of uptime with no major downtime or system outage. Quarterly upgrades by SAP is a value addition and system gets even better over time.

Trusted Data Access Enhanced Despite Difficulties With Learning And Setup Process

My experience was positive. It offers a scalable data management solution that simplifies access to trusted data across the enterprise.

Deputy Director - Human Resources and Finance

The decision to discontinue the use of the ODP protocol seems reasonable to me, as it can be a potential source of data leaks due to weak authentication and authorization controls, and lack of encryption.

Director of Data Platforms

That's a very good question and one that I would be interesting to see an answer to as well. We're just starting our assessment and what we can see already is that the answer is the proverbial "it depends" because DataSphere has many capabilities and the cost depends highly on what you use. What's clear however is that SAP is pushing DataSphere and is likely to give you some incentives for jumping on it, but I can already see that it will be hard to beat the cost of the on prem BW as we have such a mature setup where we've optimized heavily that the TCO of that will be hard to beat, for a stable setup. I think the difference will play out more on whether we need scalability, something that is costly to bring on an onprem platform. Nothing really new when it comes to comparing cloud and on-prem
