Easy to set up with good data integration and data virtualization
We developed the solution based on Hadoop, but using Hadoop as a relationship database, it's hard to maintain and recruit developers. There needs to be better integrations with other solutions and there need to be more tools (including virtualization tools) and utilities between this solution and Hadoop. For example, Oracle has a product called Big Data SQL and it built a bridge between Hadoop and Oracle's database to make things easier for developers. The solution needs to be more stable.

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.

"With this product, they get all the data; it's good quality and refreshed frequently so the customer is able to pull more valuable insights for their business."

"As a partner, I can mention something positive about SAP Analytics Hub: its products are tightly integrated, so the business context of data is retained in the analytics solution, and that's the main advantage."
"The best features SAP Business Data Cloud offers that stand out most include having all the data in one place, which is a significant advantage."
"SAP Business Data Cloud offers a Data Sphere platform for data orchestration and storage, providing excellent features while being connected with BTP and integrating SAP AI, machine learning, and general integration."

"It is slightly behind other tools in terms of the number of graphical outputs."
"Custom visuals is another area of improvement. There are also some mobile features that are missing. There are features that aren't available on the mobile."
"This is not a very stable product."
"Some of the standard visualizations, such as a speedometer or a goal chart, are not there and should be added."
"Regarding performance and user experience in SAP Business Data Cloud, it is currently a product that is not fully matured yet."
"I would not say the initial setup is straightforward, but the hurdles were expected ones."
