"Technical support is helpful."
"One feature I've found most valuable is discovery."

"What I really love about the software is that I have never struggled in implementing it for complex business requirements. It is good for highly sophisticated and specialized statistics in the areas that some people tend to call artificial intelligence. It is used for everything that involves visual presentation and analysis of highly sophisticated statistics for forecasting and other purposes."
"Quick deployment to dashboards and analytics features (using SAS Visual Statistics and Enterprise Guide). Easy to create a simple forecast and discover business insights using segmentation tools."
"An additional feature that needs to be added to SAP Analytics Cloud is exporting because right now, you can only export to PDF and PowerPoint. It would be good to have multiple export options, for example, to Excel and other apps. Pricing is an area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud, apart from exporting."
"Custom visuals is another area of improvement. There are also some mobile features that are missing. There are features that aren't available on the mobile."
"SAP has always had one problem with its products, they make them very closed systems that are difficult to integrate."
"An area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud is its planning feature because it's not that efficient when compared to BPC.

SAP Analytics Cloud technical support also needs improvement."

"The budget management could be better."
"Statistical analysis should be a bit more profound than it is."

"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
