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.

Drag-and-drop workflows have accelerated cross-database analysis and simplified daily reporting
I consider user interface modernization in Toad Data Point to be an area for improvement; it could be enhanced with a more modern, web-based look and smoother navigation, focusing on better UX and dashboard customization. Real-time collaboration could benefit from trying Git-style integration, which would strengthen team collaboration features. Performance with large data sets sometimes slows down our workflows, so implementing a better optimization engine specifically for big data workflows could enhance functionality, along with improvements in cloud-native deployment for better browser access. For the dashboarding feature, I believe Toad Data Point could improve by offering more interactive dashboards and advanced visualizations beyond the current basic charts and pivots. Implementing capabilities such as drill-down, interactive filters, and dynamic parameter selections would align more with BI-style interactivity. Visualizations compared to tools such as Microsoft Power BI or Tableau are quite limited, so enhancing this area with cloud-hosted interactive dashboards and seamless auto-refresh options would greatly improve user experience.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The platform's main benefit is its integration with SAP ERP data. It’s effective for data integration and integrity."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 best thing about it is its automation features."
"I have never experienced any issues with customer service."
"With Toad Data Point, I can automate most steps automatically."
"The most valuable features of Toad Data are you could write a parameterized query and it wouldn't error out, it would give you the parameters that you could input. The auto-formatting feature is useful because it was great for keeping your queries neat and understandable. The auto comment, and uncomment toggles that you could do were convenient."
"I would estimate that Toad Data Point saves me about 30 to 70 percent of my time depending on the work type."
"It provides better SQL development tooling than SQL Developer, which is not a sufficient tool for all development use cases. It offers power developers the tools they need."
"One of the greatest features is that you can get data from anywhere to anywhere with Toad Data Point."
"The Connectivity and Connection Manager supports a broad number of connection types, and it is trivial for end-users to set up their own connections to sources."
 

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."
"Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub."
"The platform could easily integrate with other ERP data solutions. Additionally, it should be faster compared to competitors in the cloud space."
"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."
"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."
"The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience."
"The Mac license is incredibly expensive. It is 1,600 dollars each, which is more than the Windows version. Scalability is difficult when it is that costly."
"On the scheduling server, some scheduled reports just sit there and never execute for the first time. After manually executing the first time, they run with no issues."
"It's not user-friendly. Once you start using it, you eventually get to know the features."
"Toad Data could improve by having additional features, such as query prediction. This could help someone who's not the strongest programmer. If the software could help them write queries correctly it would be very helpful, especially for small development teams or teams that lack the input skills necessary to write and program efficiently."
"I used their report writing a little bit, however, it could improve since it's not a really good report writer and it's a little clunky."
"It's not user-friendly. Once you start using it, you eventually get to know the features."
"I used their report writing a little bit, however, it could improve since it's not a really good report writer and it's a little clunky."
"Visualizations compared to tools such as Microsoft Power BI or Tableau are quite limited, so enhancing this area with cloud-hosted interactive dashboards and seamless auto-refresh options would greatly improve user experience."
