Dalvi Raghuram - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Technician at HCLSoftware
Unified metrics have reduced confusion and now empower teams to explore data and decide faster
Omni helped my team solve the multiple sources of truth problem by centralizing metric definitions in a governed semantic layer, so we stop debating KPIs and start aligning on the same numbers. It also bridges the gap between technical and non-technical users. Analysts can use SQL while business users can work with spreadsheet-like formulas, so more people can self-serve without constant data team support. As a result, we can answer questions faster, iterate on analysis in one place, and scale reporting more reliably across teams. Omni has positively impacted our organization because it helps us answer questions faster, iterate on analysis in one place, and scale reporting more reliably across teams. This tool has also been very beneficial because it simplifies tracking key metrics, improves visibility across different data sources, and makes it easier to identify trends and patterns without depending heavily on technical teams. It also saves time, supports better decision-making, and enables more efficient reporting through centralized dashboards and visual analytics. I can give you a specific example of how much time my team has saved since using Omni: it has greatly improved our decision-making from 40 to 68 percent. We have also been able to save time ranging from 60 to 70 percent.

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

"Omni is a powerful analytics tool that helps us make faster and better decisions."
"It's very user-friendly and intuitive for both the management and technical team - no matter who uses it, it's not too hard to deal with."
"This is a very easy solution to learn."
"It's so user-friendly."
"Moving my old BW data to SAP Business Data Cloud greatly improves my daily data operations by making them faster and easier."
"This tool is very useful; when I do my analysis there, the AI tool helps me a lot to understand the data and what I need to do."
"SAP Business Data Cloud intelligent app takes away a lot of work because it installs the complete model and then the customization can set in."
"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."
"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

"Some advanced features feel a bit hidden and the modeling IDE experience could use stronger IntelliSense plus better organization with deeper field nesting to make large webhooks easier to navigate."
"I would like to see improved support for third-party systems, lower cost of acquisition, and better graphics and interface design."
"SAP could add more templates to the platform."
"I would prefer to see it grow more efficiently, especially the AI helper tool."
"From a learning perspective, there needs to be better support from SAP. The learning documentation and software are not as robust as I would hope from SAP's side."
"I would like to see simpler deployment and out-of-the-box integration with non-SAP systems, as well as enhancements to the self-service analytic features in SAP Business Data Cloud."
"One potential improvement is how we can transpose data. With SAP, if you have data from one system with a declared data type and a different system with another data type, the transfer is tricky."
"The price, integration, and modeling capabilities could be better. I have to use an integration engine to integrate our products and databases. SAP Analytics Cloud is made specifically for KPIs and business intelligence. The modeling capabilities are kind of poor. You always have to model the data and then present it visually in SAP Analytics Cloud. In the next release, I would like to have a lite version for planning to create scenarios quickly. For me personally, planning is the most complicated feature of SAP Analytics Cloud."
"What should be improved in SAP Analytics Cloud is the speed of importing information and data, e.g. from SAP S/4HANA. Gathering the data from the main database takes a bit of time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"SAP pricing tends to be premium, so it is slightly higher."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is a bit higher [in price]. Because, if Microsoft can afford a better product and lower cost, SAP can afford at least the same, or even lower."
"Its price is slightly on the higher side."
"It is a bit expensive, but really worth it, especially if you are already using other SAP tools."
"Compute and storage features should be sold separately."
"SAP Analytics can be very costly to license, which can make it difficult for organizations to implement."
"This solution is pricey."
"The product is expensive."
