Would KXEN be the future predictive engine for SAP; Is it an alternate for SAP PA with more robust technology; SAP PA is more recommended for HANA users; As HANA users, we are using SAP PA; PA as such is very easy to use tool and it solves our purpose in Analytics and Visual Intelligence.
[like SAP has BODS and BW- 2 ETL section for different section of customers- though BODS would be able to cover most of BW capabilities-didn want to divert the topic to ETL side];
In one of the post, it was mentioned that SAP was using SPSS as engine and once IBM bought it, SAP moved towards R, which is an open source. now according to the expert SAP PA's cost equation was not balanced as they used open source engine; and so SAP bought KXEN that was in "strong performer's" quadrant;
So now, all said and done SAP has PA & KXEN; any idea how & where all KXEN and PA fit the SAP analytics landscape/ architecture; and How do we start with KXEN, is there a trial version for us to start with. I am excited and eager to start with KXEN; .
