Integrating external keys seamlessly while has transaction constraints
I find DataLoader's ability to easily integrate with external keys valuable, which is a bit more challenging with DBM. It provides automation for scheduling data loads, and we use the server's functionality for this. Additionally, DataLoader is cost-effective since it is free. As long as I have stable network access, uploading and downloading data is straightforward.

Brings reporting, planning, and prediction together in one seamless workflow
I think the areas of SAP Analytics Cloud that could be improved or enhanced are mentioned by users or companies, and they would definitely mention the price in terms of planning licensing. From a consulting point of view, I don't see any major weaknesses. It is reasonably well-developed, and the perfect strength is that innovations are coming on a quarterly basis. It is slightly behind other tools in terms of the number of graphical outputs. Some tools have it faster, but every increment of innovations contains new features. On the other hand, it is perfectly fitting to the SAP environment, with seamless integration to all SAP modules, not only ERP but also SuccessFactors and other tools from the SAP family, for example, integrated business planning for the production planning. This is really a highlight compared to other tools.

Pros

"I find DataLoader's ability to easily integrate with external keys valuable, which is a bit more challenging with DBM."
"he product’s most valuable feature is ease of access."
"DataLoader is cost-effective since it is free."
"This is a very easy solution to learn."
"Overall, having self-service analytics has significantly improved my team's decision-making processes compared to previous methods in Excel."
"We use it for all our reporting right now, everything is happening in SAP, and all dashboards are there, and all data comes through in real-time."
"Seamless planning is equal to live data, and when using live data it is very helpful because I get the data up to date, I do not have to manually refresh it, I can perform all sorts of calculations on my presentation or calculation layer, and present it to the client with live data being fetched into the system, which helped greatly for BI capabilities and allowed me to create multiple reports and dashboards to understand the sales-related dynamics of the current business in real time."
"It is a comprehensive BI solution that provides reporting, planning, and predictive analytics in one solution."
"SAP Analytics Cloud provides benefits such as time savings and cost-effectiveness because anyone using a planning tool traditionally relies on Excel sheets to build planning."
"The main important point which catches the eye of every business using SAP Business Data Cloud is it has a very tight integration."
"If 85-90% of your data comes from SAP, then it's the best solution."
 

Cons

"Dataloader has limitations, including constraints with file sizes and transactions. Additionally, at times it can be slow, and when integrating DBM, we find it more complex than Dataloader."
"We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records."
"Some of the standard visualizations, such as a speedometer or a goal chart, are not there and should be added."
"Regarding the deployment process, I find it complex. SAP requires more configurations, and it is not easy to install SAP."
"It should have the flexibility for scoping the story and models."
"SAP Analytics cloud needs better exporting options."
"For improvement, I would like to see more customizable dashboards, better reporting flexibility, and additional automation for data management tasks in SAP Business Data Cloud."
"If SAP Business Data Cloud could elaborate on some areas in the future, I could say insights are currently the default, representing your data into pie charts and chart patterns."
"Currently, I find the DevOps features to be lacking in SAP Business Data Cloud, and I hope that upcoming versions will enhance DevOps capabilities and provide better structured and unstructured data support."
"Cost is quite high when I look at the market and competitors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is inexpensive and economical."
"It's not that costly as such for the time being."
"The product is expensive."
"It is an expensive solution."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is expensive. The price is a big issue if you compare it with other solutions from different vendors."
"The product is expensive."
"The price is competitive. There is a power user license and normal user license, but the normal user license is reasonable."
"Compute and storage features should be sold separately."
"This solution is pricey."
