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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution's most valuable aspects are its data integration and data virtualization."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is the fact that it is open source."
"Offers both business intelligence as well as inbuilt AI and machine learning capabilities."
"The visualizations are quite eye-appealing."
"The main important point which catches the eye of every business using SAP Business Data Cloud is it has a very tight integration."
"Planning and integration are the most valuable features. It is useful for planning, and it is useful for integrating with on-prem or cloud SAP solutions."
"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."
"The best feature of SAP Business Data Cloud is that it's a cloud-based solution, making it software as a service, and we save on the BODS license and avoid the costs associated with the Enterprise HANA 48 terabyte box while easily storing petabytes of data for significant cost savings going forward."
"One feature I've found most valuable is discovery."
"The new Application Design option offers lots of customization options by being able to script in Typescript (similar to Javascript)."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to improve the functionality of the auto-deduplication."
"They lack the ability to respond to issues in a timely manner."
"We developed the solution based on Hadoop, but using Hadoop as a relationship database, it's hard to maintain and recruit developers."
"We've had some issues with stability."
"I would not say the initial setup is straightforward, but the hurdles were expected ones."
"The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience."
"There should be more features for the time series charts."
"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 I dislike about SAP Business Data Cloud is that the way they position the data products is a little confusing for users because it is fundamentally different whether you're using data products that SAP delivers."
"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."
"I would prefer to see it grow more efficiently, especially the AI helper tool."
"We need to know that we are using the latest and greatest, and SAP appears as if it has lost some credibility in the market."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"SAP Analytics can be very costly to license, which can make it difficult for organizations to implement."
"They are pursuing a highly assertive approach to target businesses of all sizes within the industry."
"This solution offers value for money and you get what you pay for."
"It is a bit expensive, but really worth it, especially if you are already using other SAP tools."
"Its pricing is okay as compared to its competitors."
