"Microsoft BI allows us to connect to any database or any dataset."
"The Microsoft Power BI app is very good. It's also very flexible."
"Good CS and administration."
"The visualization and reporting are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Ability to extract data from a variety of sources and systems."
"The most valuable feature would be the abundance of connectors. It is also easy to use."
"The most interesting feature of Microsoft Power BI is that it's very user-friendly."
"The user interface is easy to work with."
"Offers both business intelligence as well as inbuilt AI and machine learning capabilities."
"The solution is stable."
"In the most recent release, the schedule publication was officially updated and it's been added on MS Office 365. I like how we had an EPM for B to C perspective; it's a great enhancement. Also, I believe the B to B connectivity has been improved. Android support for mobile is really good also. Power BI has always had android support in place, so manual support for SAP Analytics Cloud is also a very good feature."
"Data integration is very good."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The features that I have found most valuable with SAP ERP products are their good user interface, stability, functionality, and good interface options."
"Its user-friendliness is valuable. It is a product for end-users and not for IT, which is an advantage."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is easy to create charts with, and is a stable business intelligence platform. Easy to set up solution."
"The setup took a lot of tinkering with InfoSec to allow us to do stuff."
"In my opinion, the software is a little bit limited in terms of the flexibility it offers, with regard to the design of the visualization."
"The dashboard could be simplified."
"The integration with third-party products could be more stable."
"The DAX in Microsoft BI is quite difficult."
"I think that the product would benefit by increasing the range of visuals and graphics readily available, as opposed to using a third party included as part of the product."
"I cannot comment on the stability as we haven't yet used it for a big project."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could be simplified and have a more complete product package rather than a suite of products that we have to put together."
"SAC, which is the cloud version, lost some good features from the previous planning product, like BPC or BPS."
"Connection and integration with other applications have a lot of restrictions at the moment."
"Technical support could be more helpful and responsive."
"The business intelligence features should be improved because there is a lack of functionality regarding that part."
"What could be improved in SAP Analytics Cloud is integration, particularly in terms of extracting data from the source system. Currently, its data extraction mechanism doesn't have good integration and needs improvement."
"Figuring out how to navigate all of the products around Data Warehouse Cloud and SAP Analytics Cloud and BW for HANA is quite difficult."
"The general management of this solution could be improved. The graphics or icons could also be improved to allow them to integrate with other environments on the web."
"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."
