What Your Peers Are Saying About IBM watsonx

HR Manager
What do you think about IBM Watsonx Orchestrate used for Talent Management processes? Is it better than implementing an all - in - one Suite? What are the alternatives?
HR Manager
Unfortunately, I have never used it.  I have used SAP SuccessFactors for Talent Management and bonus and it worked well.

Which Data Lakehouse platform or product would be better for the Data hub Architecture implementation? Looking forward to the comparative analysis of the key vendors, especially the MS Fabric (OneLake), IBM (WatsonX stack), SAP (if they have this capability)?  Any thoughts or recommendations, based on your Org experience would be appreciated.
Chief Data Officer
I think you must consider Databricks Lakehouse, MS Fabric and Snowflake Lakehouse Architectures.  With the recent advancements in storage and compute technologies, Lakehouse is a destination to be. The recommendations highly depends on the use cases problem you are trying to solve at your organization.  Which problem has a higher priority to be solved!
