Scripting is a great feature as is the ability to export almost anything
Scripting is a good feature if you have programming and scripting skills. It can be used without those skills but I think it's difficult to integrate them in PRISM. The best thing is that you can export almost anything whether it's graphics or data and you can change dates on the fly.
Pavlina Pankova - PeerSpot reviewer
Competence Leader - BI at Sabris CZ s.r.o.
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

"You can export almost anything whether it's graphics or data."
"I think the NetSuite support is one of the best I've ever had."
"The features that are most valuable in SAP Analytics Cloud are the planning feature and the predictive analytics feature, though the planning feature needs to be more efficient."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is easy to create charts with, and is a stable business intelligence platform. Easy to set up solution."
"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."
"It's so user-friendly."
"The features that I have found most valuable with SAP ERP products are their good user interface, stability, functionality, and good interface options."
"We mainly use Analytics Cloud because it integrates with other SAP solutions, as our ERP is an SAP product and our back-end is SAP Business Warehouse, so integration is an essential factor."
"One feature I've found most valuable is Discovery, a logistics tool that will place the dashboard for you on the fly and, for example, if you select a country, it will give the entire picture of where a product is high and where it is low."
"I like the product's capabilities; the clarity and scenarios are the main features that allow us to forecast using machine learning algorithms and make decisions."
 

Cons

"I think the only limitation in the solution is the graphics which could be improved."
"Graphics are limited and could be improved."
"The integration with other vendors and solutions could be improved."
"There are dimension restrictions. The scope is limited to only five to six accounts."
"Connection and integration with other applications have a lot of restrictions at the moment."
"Figuring out how to navigate all of the products around Data Warehouse Cloud and SAP Analytics Cloud and BW for HANA is quite difficult."
"Connection and integration with other applications have a lot of restrictions at the moment."
"The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience."
"We need to know that we are using the latest and greatest, and SAP appears as if it has lost some credit in the market.​"
"Technical support could be more helpful and responsive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is an expensive solution."
"The price is competitive. There is a power user license and normal user license, but the normal user license is reasonable."
"The pricing is based on an annual license and is rated a four out of ten."
"SAP Analytics Cloud can be quite expensive."
"SAP pricing tends to be premium, so it is slightly higher."
"They are pursuing a highly assertive approach to target businesses of all sizes within the industry."
"It Wasn't directly involved in the pricing discussions, but when I joined the organization, they had already purchased the SAP Analytics Cloud solution. The organization faced challenges due to its perceived expense, leading to restrictions on granting access to many users."
"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."

Which would you choose - Tableau or SAP Analytics Cloud?
Tableau is easy to set up and maintain. In about a day it is possible for the entire platform to be deployed for use. This relatively short amount of time can make all the difference for companies ...
What do you like most about SAP Analytics Cloud?
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.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for SAP Analytics Cloud?
I normally do not deal with the commercials, so I am not aware of the pricing part of it.
