Stable, straightforward to set up and does have good integration with various useful tools
The on-demand pipeline execution is something that we've had some challenges with for on-demand scheduling, however, we have some fairly complex use cases there. That said, we have had some problems getting that to work across a wide variety of use cases. Therefore, depending on the latency and the on-demand nature of it, they could do some improvement there. QuickSight is evolving pretty quickly. While I liked it, it integrates with it, it would help if they did more coordinated releases so that those features in their other products are improved and that those are available too. I'd like to see it coordinated or integrated with more of a data catalog. While there are some features there, the data governance and data cataloging, they touch on that, however, that's an important area of growth. It's becoming more and more important. That's why I would like to see more sophisticated and more complete data cataloging and data governance in that product. I know they're working on that. And of course, sometimes you have to go to half a dozen different AWS products before you get the thing you want. That said, I would like to see more data cataloging, more governance.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like that it's integrated, and I also like that it works well with SageMaker, and the nice thing about AWS is it actually works well in combination with some of their other tools like QuickSight and SageMaker, and I've found that those workflows to be fairly seamless and easy to coordinate across their products."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"It is a comprehensive BI solution that provides reporting, planning, and predictive analytics in one solution. You don't have to buy three different products. It is very flexible. It can be implemented very quickly. It has a lot of out-of-the-box scenarios that you can use for quick deployment."
"The financial reports are very easy to read at the end of the month, you can see your profits, and the reporting tools and graphs versus sending a report in Excel are great."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is very easy to use, and you don't require much technology. It has a very good library and analytics. It is easy to configure and offers good visualization."
"The stability is quite good; it doesn't crash or freeze, there are no bugs or glitches, and it's reliable."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"It's easy to connect Analytics Cloud with other SAP solutions, and it's also effortless to deploy. You don't need much technical skill to set it up. It's as easy as setting up a tablet. I said tablet before. It's very easy to actually set up."
"What my customers like best about SAP Analytics Cloud is the dashboard because it's pretty good."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Analytics Cloud is its integration with SAP."
 

Cons

"I'd like to see it coordinated or integrated with more of a data catalog."
"We haven't really seen an ROI. We're doing more with that product, however, probably not saving money."
"One potential improvement is how we can transpose data. With SAP, if you have data from one system with a declared data type and a different system with another data type, the transfer is tricky."
"When it comes to planning there is a concern about the ability to match the exact requirements of the customer with what the product offers."
"What should be improved in SAP Analytics Cloud is the speed of importing information and data, e.g. from SAP S/4HANA. Gathering the data from the main database takes a bit of time."
"Pricing is fine for the BI license, but when it comes to client license, that fee is a bit high."
"SAP Analytics Cloud should improve the dashboard."
"Its integration or connectivity with non-SAP systems, big data, and social media, such as YouTube, LinkedIn, et cetera, can be improved. This is where SAP has limited features as compared to other solutions."
"The integration with other vendors and solutions could be improved."
"Sometimes there are speed issues with big deletion data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing of this product is reasonable."
"This solution offers value for money and you get what you pay for."
"The price is competitive. There is a power user license and normal user license, but the normal user license is reasonable."
"The premium option is very expensive at five thousand dollars. I use the nine hundred and ninety-nine dollar option."
"Its pricing is okay as compared to its competitors."
"SAP pricing tends to be premium, so it is slightly higher."
"It is not the most expensive one. You have to do the cost-of-ownership analysis and take a lot of things into consideration to come up with the conclusion that it is cheaper or not, but its price is reasonable. It provides value for money."
"Compute and storage features should be sold separately."

Which would you choose - Tableau or SAP Analytics Cloud?
Tableau is easy to set up and maintain. In about a day it is possible for the entire platform to be deployed for use. This relatively short amount of time can make all the difference for companies ...
What do you like most about SAP Analytics Cloud?
In the data warehouse, you're free to make changes. You can make everything text, meaning it's always a string. Even numbers appear as text, giving you the flexibility to work with all columns.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for SAP Analytics Cloud?
I normally do not deal with the commercials, so I am not aware of the pricing part of it.
