Provides self-repair features, but the setup is complex
We use the product for online applications. We use it in the financial industry The product has self-repair features. The tool tunes itself. It separates compute from storage. We can scale storage and compute separately. The setup is complex. Oracle is a complex tool. I have been using Oracle…

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

"The autonomous database provides several benefits and unmatched performance."
"The product is easy to use."
"It provides Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) capabilities by default to address data security issues."
"It is an extremely scalable solution since you can dynamically change the resources as some other cloud solutions."
"I highly recommend it for companies who want to test their application functionality, dev, or test DBs for cost optimization."
"I loved the simplicity of loading the data and simply relying on the self-tuning capabilities of ADW."
"The solution integrates well with Power BI."
"I really like the auto-tuning, auto-scaling, and the automatic load balancing and query tuning in the system."
"There is a seamless integration with SAP S4HANA which is really valuable to our organization and its functions. Since the data is stored in the same ecosystem, it creates a simple process of building dashboards, without making the process cumbersome The Analytics Cloud provides standardized templates and storage options, making it easy to plug into existing structures. We're utilizing custom stories that have already been developed, streamlining the development process. It serves as a convenient starting point and contributes to the overall ease of development. Another advantage is that it doesn't provide the same level of calculation power as Power BI and Tableau. SAP Analytics Cloud emphasizes pushing analytics back into the database, recommending data manipulation and preparation outside of the platform. This approach is seen as an advantage, as it allows for more robust data handling."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The solution is quite effective for collaborative planning."
"I like the predictive features of SAP. It's easy to use tools for an end-user."
"I have found that the feature to drag and drop widgets based on the data source, and import them into stories to be valuable. This way it helps the end user to create stories themselves."
"There is a lot of seamless integration and you can avoid a lot of licensing costs."
"The main benefits end users receive from SAP Business Data Cloud include deep insight analytics on cloud to plan and to get the real live data on a unified view or consistent view to be aware and to take decisions, to speed up performance, and to know the gaps and to fix the gaps."
"SAP Analytics Hub offers a user-friendly interface with effortless configuration, seamless updates, and real-time availability of information. It avoids the complexities associated with batch processing, providing a smooth and efficient experience."
 

Cons

"The solution could be improved by allowing for migration tools from other cloud services, including migration from Amazon Redshift, RDS, and Aurora."
"A lot of the tools that were previously there have now been taken away."
"It is very important the integration with other platforms be made to be as easy as it is with an on-premises deployment."
"One of the major problem is creating custom tablespace. The ADB serverless option doesn't support custom tablespace creation, which could cause issues during on-premise database migration that requires specifically named tablespace. There should be an option to create customized tablespace."
"The solution lacks visibility options."
"It is good as data warehouses go, but it is not that good for really big data."
"An improvement for us would be the inclusion of support for an internal IP, so we could use it directly with the VCN in Oracle Cloud."
"Optimization should be better."
"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."
"I do not perceive any return on investment with SAP Business Data Cloud, as its performance in that area is exceptionally poor and shows no signs of improvement."
"Frankly, pricing, setup cost, and licensing seem a bit high compared to other hyperscalers, but if SAP works on that and provides some innovative options, it could improve and help them gain market share by reducing licensing costs slightly."
"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."
"There is plenty of room for improvement. They have different products, and you need to integrate all of them to have one functionality. For example, data extraction happens in Datasphere. Then it would be best if you had some connection between the Datasphere and the SAP Analytics Cloud to get the data, as this is causing headaches sometimes. The knowledge base and Jedox also could be more meaningful. I have tried to search for some specific knowledge base and technology base, and I didn't find them. I have learned it by trial and error. There is room to improve the integrations between the different products. The AFS, and the Data action, need improvement. Sometimes they release new tools and updates, but not in my area."
"SAP has always had one problem with its products, they make them very closed systems that are difficult to integrate."
"SAP Business Data Cloud is a new tool, and we need much more time to use its full capability and understand the advantages and disadvantages."
"SAP could add some more visualization features to Analytics Cloud, like charts and analytics. I would also like to see some more data cleaning and ad hoc functions added to this solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is perfect with Oracle Universal credit."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"In terms of architecture and pricing structure, I feel it is a little bit costly compared to Azure. It's fine compared to RedShift, but compared to Azure, it's a bit pricey when you calculate for one TB storage plus around five hours of reporting with the frequency of 1TB data. The cost adds up, making Oracle a bit expensive."
"You pay as you go, and you don't pay for services that you don't use."
"We pay approximately $70,000 per month. The cost includes maintenance and support."
"ROI is high."
"The licensing cost of the product can vary since you can integrate it very easily with other products or other cloud products...You pay as you use it, so it is not yearly or monthly payments to be made toward Oracle."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product is expensive."
"It's not that costly as such for the time being."
"I don't have the exact price for SAP Analytics Cloud, but it could be improved and made cheaper, especially when compared to Power BI."
"Compute and storage features should be sold separately."
"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."
"The pricing is based on an annual license and is rated a four out of ten."
"It is an expensive solution."
"They are pursuing a highly assertive approach to target businesses of all sizes within the industry."
