Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 1, 2025

Sisense and SAP Analytics Hub are competitive business intelligence solutions with Sisense being favored for affordability and robust support, while SAP Analytics Hub is chosen for its comprehensive feature set despite higher costs.

Features: Sisense offers excellent data modeling and interactive dashboard features, along with powerful data visualization capabilities that allow users to combine multiple data sources effortlessly. SAP Analytics Hub is recognized for its easy integration with other SAP products, a centralized platform for managing enterprise-wide analytics, and its emphasis on data integrity and real-time information availability.

Room for Improvement: Sisense could enhance the customization of its visualizations and improve the complexity management for more advanced design needs. Additionally, scalability in handling larger datasets might require further enhancement. SAP Analytics Hub may need to soothe its deployment complexity and improve support for non-SAP integrations.

Conversely, SAP Analytics Hub's higher initial investment delivers significant ROI for larger enterprises within SAP ecosystems, ensuring long-term value and scalability for substantial infrastructures.

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.

Has improved project turnaround time with customizable dashboards and faster data delivery to stakeholders

Sisense has some limitations, especially in rendering tables or graphs. For example, if you want to perform custom sorting or searching based on multiple columns, that becomes quite tricky. Providing more control over how the data is sorted or filtered would be quite useful. Additionally, it could provide more connectors to integrate with emerging different data sources to exponentially increase the amount of data it can handle. Sisense should provide more support for CI/CD, as we found the CI/CD approach quite limited, which is something that can be worked on. Some data scientists suggested more features can be offered by providing different models for data analytics. Sisense can improve by adding more features for handling complex schemas and making the pricing straightforward. The dashboarding features are good enough, but additional features could make it even more attractive. Also, CI/CD support or source control support would be really helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The best part about this solution is how easy it is to mash up the data from many sources. Sisense is fast compared to other solutions."

"The Sisense solution was very easy to set up, and its visualizations were effective."

"Ability to work with very large data sources without the limitations of Excel."

"I have found the dashboard creating feature helpful."

"This solution is easy to learn how to use."

Cons

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

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

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

"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 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."

"Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub."

"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."

"I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data."

"I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums."

"They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard."

"The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing."

"Sisense has some limitations, especially in rendering tables or graphs. For example, if you want to perform custom sorting or searching based on multiple columns, that becomes quite tricky."
