Pros
"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 really nice insight feature that I enjoy using.""Easy to use.""We mainly use Analytics Cloud because it integrates with other SAP solutions. Our ERP is an SAP product, and our back-end is SAP Business Warehouse, so integration is an essential factor.""The most valuable feature of the tool is machine learning.""The features that are most valuable in SAP Analytics Cloud are the planning feature and the predictive analytics feature, though the planning feature needs to be more efficient.""It's many features make it the best in the market.""Provides rich features for developing automated reports and dashboards."

"It provides the ability to design applications directly.""The initial setup is straightforward.""You can easily customize reporting to pull the fields that interest you."

More Tungsten Insight Pros →

Cons
"It seems like there's a problem with the tool's licenses. If there are a lot of users, like 200, who only use the solution once a year, paying for a full-year license for each user is expensive. There's no option for users who only use the solution occasionally.""Technical support could be more helpful and responsive.""Improvements are coming quarterly whereas previously it was on a monthly basis.""There is no direct connector from SAP to Redshift, so we are required to use a third-party product that was recommended by SAP.""One area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud is incorporating Python into the coding. That functionality is available, but it's not as efficient, and it's a bit difficult sometimes to do it, so that could be improved.""Sometimes we have difficulty connecting to a SharePoint list.""However, there are areas of improvement, particularly in terms of visualization. The front-end interface of SAP Analytics Cloud is not as impressive as Tableau and Power BI. The charts in other solutions have a more visually appealing and customizable look, while in SAP Analytics Cloud, there's a lack of alignment between numbers and charts. This graphical aspect, especially concerning charts, is not as satisfactory in SAP Analytics Cloud compared to its counterparts.""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."

More SAP Analytics Cloud Cons →

"The initial setup is complex and would be difficult to carry out without any training.""It would be ideal if there were some standard forms that could be customized.""If there's any negative, it's just the different names, the branding names that the product's gone through. It's confusing."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "It's quite expensive and costs a lot to maintain, especially with licensing."
  • "It's not that costly as such for the time being."
  • "Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
  • "Compute and storage features should be sold separately."
  • "Its pricing is okay as compared to its competitors."
  • "Its price is slightly on the higher side."
