SAP Datasphere was extensively used by me in data integration and reporting processes in which multiple datasets were required to be combined in a unified analytical view. Much of my usage involved dealing with datasets, connecting models, and checking that reporting output aligned with the rules of the source system.

The biggest advantage provided by the application, in my view, was that it decreased the need for manual extraction and transformation of datasets. Rather than extracting the data in separate sets and then transforming them into a usable format, I could deal with the connected models directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve is very steep, especially if you come from SQL-based or traditional independent data warehousing systems. It takes some time for you to be able to operate effectively once you know how models, spaces, and connections work.

Another difficulty lies in the fact that debugging problems in the data may involve navigating many levels of abstraction. If the result obtained does not correspond to what was expected, determining at which level there is a problem may take some additional time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
