Seamless integration, collaborative features, and enhances data exploration
There are several areas for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud. Firstly, features available in SAP Lumira are missing in SAP Analytics Cloud. Secondly, the predictive analytics functions, although promising, are currently only suitable for Proof of Concepts (POCs) and not for industrial-scale use. Lastly, the pricing model for the planning functionality is quite high and presents an entry barrier.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's so user-friendly."
"The most valuable features are the analytical application and the user story."
"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."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is superior to other tools in terms of planning and forecasting."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Analytics Cloud is its integration with SAP."
"It's many features make it the best in the market."
"The tool's most valuable features are the BI and planning functionalities. I value being able to integrate smart planning with BI for analysis. The solution is user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"What I like best about this solution is that it is built into the SAP line, making it easier to integrate with other SAP products."
"The platform's main benefit is its integration with SAP ERP data. It’s effective for data integration and integrity."
"Data consistency is also a notable feature; the system takes care of data consistency, so you don't need to handle it manually."
"This product provides good reports using a single pane of glass."
"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

"The product could improve by enhancing connectivity issues and speeding up response times for support queries."
"The technology used by the tool is old, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Technical support could be more helpful and responsive."
"It still lacks a lot of functionalities as compared to other tools such as Power BI or Tableau. Sorting is not working as well as it works in Tableau. A lot of other things are also not at the same level. Their technical support is not perfect and could be better. It takes a lot of time to have lacking functionalities implemented. Its integration with the BW backend should be better. Both solutions are from the same vendor. They position SAP Analytics Cloud as a reporting tool on top of the BW environment, but the integration between both is not yet 100%. For example, user management is still not synchronized."
"Could have more tabular reporting capabilities."
"Figuring out how to navigate all of the products around Data Warehouse Cloud and SAP Analytics Cloud and BW for HANA is quite difficult."
"SAP Analytics cloud needs better exporting options."
"We need to know that we are using the latest and greatest, and SAP appears as if it has lost some credit in the market.​"
"The platform could easily integrate with other ERP data solutions. Additionally, it should be faster compared to competitors in the cloud space."
"The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience."
"The analytics part of SAP has not been that good up until now. They're still in the infant stage and development is still going on. SAP has some cloud analytics and they're trying to configure it in Lumira, but it's not that good at this point."
"Pricing and support are integrated into the system. However, the support process can be challenging, particularly when navigating the SAP support site, which lacks user-friendliness and ease of access."
"Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub."
"The technical support for Analytics Hub is limited and could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The premium option is very expensive at five thousand dollars. I use the nine hundred and ninety-nine dollar option."
"Its price is slightly on the higher side."
"The product is expensive."
"Compute and storage features should be sold separately."
"This solution offers value for money and you get what you pay for."
"Its pricing is okay as compared to its competitors."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The product is expensive."
