Integration and security have improved, but search functionality and clarity of future direction need enhancement

The search function in SAP Analytics Hub is not effective. When speaking about integration with various analytic sources, for example, if I wanted to send the data from SAP BW or B4HANA to a data lake, we used to earlier use the Open Data Hub or Analytics Hub. Nowadays, we are using the Data Sphere integrators available with Amazon, Azure, and Google Cloud. The search capability could be better, and SAP needs to come out with a clear roadmap for the solution going ahead, as they have not yet provided that.

Modern dashboards and reports enhance decision-making and presentations

I would love to be able to create my own reports in Sigma, as I can do in Salesforce. Either we are not using it properly, or the software is too complicated. It would be great if there was a way for me to create reports without relying on a data analyst. I'm interested in the upcoming AI co-pilot to enable natural language generation of visualizations and reports. Also, the marketing materials did not match what I feel we've received. Regarding pricing, Sigma's pricing doesn't allow more people to have the ability to create their own reports. We have very few admin or report creator licenses, while everyone else is on a view-only mode.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Data consistency is also a notable feature; the system takes care of data consistency, so you don't need to handle it manually."

"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."

"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 platform's main benefit is its integration with SAP ERP data. It’s effective for data integration and integrity."

"This product provides good reports using a single pane of glass."

"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 most valuable feature of Sigma is the detailed reports."

"Sigma is a great software for non-technical business users. If someone's familiar with pivot tables or Excel or Google Sheets, they should be able to pick up Sigma pretty quickly. There is a very low bar for onboarding."

"The most valuable feature of Sigma is the detailed reports."

"Sigma serves as the visualization and reporting front end."

"I find the collaborative features, such as commenting, to be very valuable."

"Sigma has excellent features, such as lookup tables where you can easily bring data that are not interrelated or at different granularity."

"The tool's interface is easy to use. The functions listed as a part of the menu items are easy to use."

"The most valuable aspect for me is having real-time data."

Cons

"The technical support for Analytics Hub is limited and could be improved."

"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."

"The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience."

"The search capability could be better, and SAP needs to come out with a clear roadmap for the solution going ahead, as they have not yet provided that."

"The platform could easily integrate with other ERP data solutions. Additionally, it should be faster compared to competitors in the cloud space."

"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."

"Sigma could have better reports."

"The main improvement needed is in data modeling capabilities. If they add those features in the near future, it would be very helpful for us to implement the same or do the data cleansing part in the Sigma tool itself."

"Sigma could have better reports."

"The only minor area for improvement lies in handling highly complex visualizations."

"Either we are not using it properly, or the software is too complicated. It would be great if there was a way for me to create reports without relying on a data analyst."

"The product's roadmap regarding introducing new features in the solution or new versions of the tool can be made better in the future."

"Sigma lacks a versioning feature to track changes. There is a need for better structuring, like a folder system, to organize diagrams efficiently."

"I would like to see better visualization options. That would allow me to build out more visually pleasing dashboarding in Sigma."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."

"They are pursuing a highly assertive approach to target businesses of all sizes within the industry."

"The product is expensive."

"It is an expensive solution."

"The retail price is set at one thousand dollars per creator per year."
