CIO / CTO / Head Of Data at Data Excellence
Centralizes customer data for fast analytics but has struggled with many concurrent data pipelines
Hevo could be improved as we hit limits, particularly when it couldn't keep up with the high number of databases we wanted to sync frequently—ideally updating everything hourly for near real-time analytics rather than a day behind. We found that with many pipelines, performance degraded. After discussing with Hevo engineers, I learned that Hevo is designed for fast individual pipelines, but struggles with many concurrent pipelines. They suggested that consolidating data from fewer pipelines with more fields would perform better, but even that failed when I tested it with a Business Central database that had numerous fields. Hevo does have limits on the number of pipelines it can manage concurrently and on the number of fields in a single pipeline.Additionally, the API was slower to release compared to the user interface and was not feature-complete, which was frustrating. That said, Hevo actively worked on bridging many gaps. Overall, these were significant pain points I encountered.

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

"Hevo positively impacted my organization by allowing us to move data quickly and easily, enabling us to focus on our real challenge: performing analytics and reporting out of Snowflake with all customer data centralized despite using various applications."
"Hevo has positively impacted my organization by ensuring excellent usage of collected data, which is utilized in various workflows, including sales and marketing and customer relationship management, ultimately helping me serve clients better."
"SAP Business Data Cloud has positively impacted my organization by federating SAP data, which is now available for all to use."
"I like the predictive features of SAP; it's an easy to use tool for an end-user, you don't need a lot of technical knowledge to use the product, and it is very easy to learn and gives you flexibility in designing your own dashboard with its new analytics designer."
"It is easy to integrate with SAP ERP and BW systems, allowing smooth data transfer and live connections without much development."
"What I appreciate about SAP Analytics Cloud is the AI features, which include interactive dashboards, drill-down capabilities, linked dimensions, and the ability to integrate more than one model in the same story."
"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."
"We have seen great ROI with this solution and are able to save time and money due to reduced report preparation time by 50 to 60 percent and faster access to business insights."
"The most valuable features of SAP Analytics Cloud are its native integration with SAP data and the ability to leverage SAP artifacts."
"The product has helped us to unify reporting between all departments and throughout the entire company; it has improved our organization by streamlining operations."
 

Cons

"There are areas where Hevo could improve, particularly regarding its cost structure, as the pricing is based on usage and the advanced features can become costly for startups that are not well-established."
"Hevo could be improved as we hit limits, particularly when it couldn't keep up with the high number of databases we wanted to sync frequently—ideally updating everything hourly for near real-time analytics rather than a day behind."
"Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub."
"Pricing is an area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud, apart from exporting."
"The customizations need to be better."
"The predictive analytics functions, although promising, are currently only suitable for Proof of Concepts (POCs) and not for industrial-scale use."
"The search capability could be better, and SAP needs to come out with a clear roadmap for the solution going ahead, as they have not yet provided that."
"Could be more user-friendly; somewhat complicated to use."
"In the live connection model, we can't create calculated dimensions, however, in the import model we can create them."
"SAP could add more templates to the platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"SAP Analytics Cloud is expensive. The price is a big issue if you compare it with other solutions from different vendors."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is a bit higher [in price]. Because, if Microsoft can afford a better product and lower cost, SAP can afford at least the same, or even lower."
"This solution is pricey."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Compute and storage features should be sold separately."
"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."
