Brings reporting, planning, and prediction together in one seamless workflow
I think the areas of SAP Analytics Cloud that could be improved or enhanced are mentioned by users or companies, and they would definitely mention the price in terms of planning licensing. From a consulting point of view, I don't see any major weaknesses. It is reasonably well-developed, and the perfect strength is that innovations are coming on a quarterly basis. It is slightly behind other tools in terms of the number of graphical outputs. Some tools have it faster, but every increment of innovations contains new features. On the other hand, it is perfectly fitting to the SAP environment, with seamless integration to all SAP modules, not only ERP but also SuccessFactors and other tools from the SAP family, for example, integrated business planning for the production planning. This is really a highlight compared to other tools.

Streamlined data products have empowered non‑technical teams and still require more automation
The best feature Satori offers is its simplicity for non-business and non-technical persons because all you have to do is provide inputs—the tables that you want to use as source—and then the framework does all the work. You just define the tables and what tables need to be joined. This simplicity helps my team in day-to-day work because non-technical people and product owners can actually develop data products with this streamlined pipeline without having to know how to code and without having to maintain a code base. We just maintain and enhance while they build what they want. Satori also has data quality checks that are defined by the data quality team, so we know if the data are corrupted. That is another main feature. Satori has positively impacted my organization because it's a product that has been sold to many clients and has also been used internally for some use cases that the company needed. It's one of the most successful products of the company.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable."
"The integration aspects between SAP and SAP Business Data Cloud are pretty good and seamless, with multiple ways to take the data that all work seamlessly, and taking data out to Azure Data Lake using premium outbound as a service and replication flows in Data Sphere is really seamless."
"There is a lot of seamless integration and you can avoid a lot of licensing costs."
"We switched to SAP Analytics Cloud primarily for the planning, development, and the user-friendliness."
"SAP Business Data Cloud has positively impacted my organization by improving decision-making through real-time insights into what is changing in the business."
"I like the predictive features of SAP. It's easy to use tools for an end-user."
"In the data warehouse, you're free to make changes. You can make everything text, meaning it's always a string. Even numbers appear as text, giving you the flexibility to work with all columns."
"The most valuable features are on the application side, where you can design applications into your analytics on the platform."
"Satori leads to more sales and has doubled our sales."
"Satori has positively impacted my organization by providing a solution that helps in the development of AI intelligence while protecting AI with less effort than other solutions."
 

Cons

"It's quite expensive and costs a lot to maintain, especially with licensing."
"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."
"In my experience, I would rate SAP support as two to three out of five."
"One potential improvement is how we can transpose data. With SAP, if you have data from one system with a declared data type and a different system with another data type, the transfer is tricky."
"Data intelligent, data flow, and data pipeline are all very much more expensive now."
"The main area that needs improvement is visualization."
"I would like to see simpler deployment and out-of-the-box integration with non-SAP systems, as well as enhancements to the self-service analytic features in SAP Business Data Cloud."
"There are dimension restrictions. The scope is limited to only five to six accounts."
"Everything could potentially be improved."
"Satori can be improved by integrating CI/CD because currently we are doing it manually, which is something we need to fix."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is pricey."
"SAP pricing tends to be premium, so it is slightly higher."
"The product is expensive."
"It is not the most expensive one. You have to do the cost-of-ownership analysis and take a lot of things into consideration to come up with the conclusion that it is cheaper or not, but its price is reasonable. It provides value for money."
"The platform is about 50% more expensive than Power BI."
"The product is expensive."
"Its pricing is okay as compared to its competitors."
"Compute and storage features should be sold separately."
