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

"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."
"It is fully featured, has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do, is very easy to use and install, is pretty self-explanatory, and their support was also very good."
"Customer Service: We have a support contract with Jumpmind. The support resources are readily available and provide expert support to any questions."
"Visualization is quite seamless and awesome. Once the data messaging is set up, it's straightforward and simple to select how it should be displayed. So, that's another advantage of SAP."
"I like the connectivity the solution provides with other products, as one can see different data sources, such as SAP ERP and the in-house hub, create a business warehouse, and import multi-dimensional data from flat files and various sources."
"We have definitely seen a return on investment, as we save money and time by consolidating software licenses into one subscription, which is far easier to manage."
"Planning and integration are the most valuable features. It is useful for planning, and it is useful for integrating with on-prem or cloud SAP solutions."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the analytical application and the user story."
"This is a very easy solution to learn."
"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."
 

Cons

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
"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."
"Real-time reporting is one area that needs improvement for the product."
"If the application has many pages or a page with more charts, it tends to load slowly."
"I am not happy with the predictive analytics features and smart features offered by the product, making them areas where improvements are required."
"It still lacks a lot of functionalities as compared to other tools such as Power BI or Tableau. Sorting is not working as well as it works in Tableau. A lot of other things are also not at the same level. Their technical support is not perfect and could be better. It takes a lot of time to have lacking functionalities implemented. Its integration with the BW backend should be better. Both solutions are from the same vendor. They position SAP Analytics Cloud as a reporting tool on top of the BW environment, but the integration between both is not yet 100%. For example, user management is still not synchronized."
"The user interface of SAP Business Data Cloud could be more intuitive, particularly for non-technical users, and I would appreciate simpler navigation, user configuration, and better troubleshooting tools to improve the overall experience."
"SAP could add more templates to the platform."
"The price of SAP Analytics Cloud varies in perception among customers. Some customers say it's overpriced while others say it's reasonable; it depends on the use case and the type of customer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compute and storage features should be sold separately."
"Its pricing is okay as compared to its competitors."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"They are pursuing a highly assertive approach to target businesses of all sizes within the industry."
"It's not that costly as such for the time being."
"The price is competitive. There is a power user license and normal user license, but the normal user license is reasonable."
