Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is building ad hoc reports.""I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. It's highly scalable and can handle significant data volumes.""The solution can read and write 500 different types of outputs.""It stands out for its ability to work across different platforms, support mainframe data, offer cloud integration, automate report scheduling, and provide a robust scripting language."

"What I like best about this solution is that it is built into the SAP line, making it easier to integrate with other SAP products.""Data consistency is also a notable feature; the system takes care of data consistency, so you don't need to handle it manually.""SAP Analytics Hub offers a user-friendly interface with effortless configuration, seamless updates, and real-time availability of information. It avoids the complexities associated with batch processing, providing a smooth and efficient experience.""This product provides good reports using a single pane of glass.""For report scheduling, I always prefer SAP because it has the most powerful scheduling features, like sending reports to more than 1,000 customers per day. That option is not as good in Microsoft BI and in Tableau it only exists as an add-on option."

Cons
"The challenge lies not in what the tool can do but in how you use it and understand the data.""When it comes to customer support, we don't always reach the right person. Sometimes, we get junior-level reps who aren't as knowledgeable as we are.""The solution can be improved by adding more automated options for reporting.""If there were to be any improvements right now, their documentation needs to get in sync with their product."

More Information Builders WebFOCUS Cons →

"Pricing and support are integrated into the system. However, the support process can be challenging, particularly when navigating the SAP support site, which lacks user-friendliness and ease of access.""The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience.""The technical support for Analytics Hub is limited and could be improved.""The analytics part of SAP has not been that good up until now. They're still in the infant stage and development is still going on. SAP has some cloud analytics and they're trying to configure it in Lumira, but it's not that good at this point.""Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub."
