Analytics and data security needs are met but optimization requires improvement

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 solution has a self-backup, so you don't need a DBA (database administrator) to do a backup."
"The solution is self-securing. All data is encrypted and security updates and patches are applied automatically both periodically and off-cycle."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"It provides Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) capabilities by default to address data security issues."
"The analytics have been very good. We've found them to be quite useful."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is used globally to deliver extreme performance on large Financial data sets."
"Amazing performance, it is a revolution."
"The product is easy to use."
"The best features of SAP Business Data Cloud include a very important capability that allows data sharing without moving data, which is a very useful option."
"There is a lot of seamless integration and you can avoid a lot of licensing costs."
"If your data is stored in the SAP environment, it is still the best tool in the market."
"The product has helped us to unify reporting between all departments and throughout the entire company; it has improved our organization by streamlining operations."
"The product is stable, there are no bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, and it's reliable."
"It is easy to integrate with SAP ERP and BW systems, allowing smooth data transfer and live connections without much development."
"The visualizations have been the most valuable feature."
"There is a real-time reporting mechanism in place. SAP Analytics Cloud operates on the SAP S/4HANA database, ensuring real-time reporting is always available. This capability allows the business to monitor cash inflows and outflows at any given moment easily."
 

Cons

"It is good as data warehouses go, but it is not that good for really big data."
"Ease of interconnectivity could be improved by which I mean setting up the VPN access and the like from on-premises to cloud."
"Sometimes the solution works differently between the cloud and on-premises. It needs to be more consistent and predictable."
"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."
"Oracle should increase visibility options because what's available now is limited."
"The solution could be improved by allowing for migration tools from other cloud services, including migration from Amazon Redshift, RDS, and Aurora."
"The initial setup was pretty complex. It was not easy."
"I would like to see an on-premise solution in the future."
"Performance is a limitation that SAP Business Data Cloud has right now, and until I know more about SAP with the Iceberg adoption, I will say more, but now performance is a limitation using the Delta capability."
"Regarding performance and user experience in SAP Business Data Cloud, it is currently a product that is not fully matured yet."
"SAP Analytics Cloud should improve the dashboard."
"I have not yet seen a return on investment with SAP Business Data Cloud."
"Currently, I find the DevOps features to be lacking in SAP Business Data Cloud, and I hope that upcoming versions will enhance DevOps capabilities and provide better structured and unstructured data support."
"Connection and integration with other applications have a lot of restrictions at the moment."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing of SAP Business Data Cloud is that it is very high compared to implementation costs."
"SAP Business Data Cloud needs to be more reasonable in terms of costing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is perfect with Oracle Universal credit."
"Cloud solutions are cheaper, but in the long run, they may not be much cheaper. They certainly have a lower initial cost. The licensing is yearly, and it is based on the size of the hardware and the number of users."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing an eight."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse's pricing is fair and reasonable compared to the other cloud vendors."
"We pay approximately $70,000 per month. The cost includes maintenance and support."
"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."
"You pay as you go, and you don't pay for services that you don't use."
"It is a bit expensive, but really worth it, especially if you are already using other SAP tools."
"The product is expensive."
"SAP Analytics Cloud can be quite expensive."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is expensive. The price is a big issue if you compare it with other solutions from different vendors."
"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."
"The pricing of this product is reasonable."
"SAP pricing tends to be premium, so it is slightly higher."
"The platform is about 50% more expensive than Power BI."
