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.

"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."
"The most valuable features are the visualization and user-friendliness; it's like a self-service platform, and if the connectivity is good then anyone can log in and use it."
"Real-time data makes for a single version of the truth."
"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."
"All of the modules that we used to have separately in our on-premises solution are now integrated into one platform."
"A robust solution."
"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."
"The capabilities of SAP Analytics Cloud that I consider the most valuable are that all three functionalities are in one tool, and because they are, you don't have to buy another tool to make planning, you don't have to buy another tool to implement prediction."
"The most useful feature of SAP Analytics Cloud is planning because it helps users with making predictions and forecasts. Clients can forecast, make data allocations, and other actions. The solution is useful for planning."
 

Cons

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
"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."
"Though it's the best placed product when working with an SAP BW backend, it still lacks a lot of functionalities when compared to other tools such as Power BI or Tableau."
"Pricing is an area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud, apart from exporting."
"AI doesn't work as well with SAP live connections."
"An additional feature that needs to be added to SAP Analytics Cloud is exporting because right now, you can only export to PDF and PowerPoint. It would be good to have multiple export options, for example, to Excel and other apps. Pricing is an area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud, apart from exporting."
"They need a better scalability rate."
"The technical support for Analytics Hub is limited and could be improved."
"Documentation-wise, we see some gaps when trying to connect different solutions. Some generic documents are available, but the steps maintained are not accurate. There is room for improvement in documentation."
