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.

Some clients prefer advanced options like neural networks and decision trees for more in-depth analysis. TIBCO Statistica helps us meet a range of statistical needs for…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The capabilities of SAP Analytics Cloud that I consider the most valuable are that all three functionalities are in one tool, and because they are, you don't have to buy another tool to make planning, you don't have to buy another tool to implement prediction."
"It's so user-friendly."
"I like the predictive features of SAP; it's an easy to use tool for an end-user, you don't need a lot of technical knowledge to use the product, and it is very easy to learn and gives you flexibility in designing your own dashboard with its new analytics designer."
"Data consistency is also a notable feature; the system takes care of data consistency, so you don't need to handle it manually."
"Technical support is helpful."
"Transitioning from BW to SAP Business Data Cloud made our daily data operations faster because SAP provides a clear path for migrations."
"We use both Tableau and SAP Analytics Cloud, and sometimes we find that SAP Analytics performs better than Tableau."
"The most valuable features of SAP Analytics Cloud are its native integration with SAP data and the ability to leverage SAP artifacts."
"One of the best features of TIBCO Statistica is its block-based solution building."
 

Cons

"Technical support is only an online chat option. They need a phone number to talk to someone and they need to increase the support available."
"The security, authorization, and live connection to the back-office system features can be improved. A business analyst colleague who creates complex financial management reports has mentioned that he wants to see more fact and visualization features. It would be helpful to have more visualization features to be able to prepare more stories or reports for executives. For example, Tableau has some visualization features that are not present in this solution."
"The product could improve by enhancing connectivity issues and speeding up response times for support queries."
"Regarding performance and user experience in SAP Business Data Cloud, it is currently a product that is not fully matured yet."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing of SAP Business Data Cloud is that it is very high compared to implementation costs."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say their positioning. Effectively there are too many parts from SAP in the planning and consolidation space."
"The performance of Data Product Generator to load data from BW to Data Sphere is really slow."
"Performance is a limitation that SAP Business Data Cloud has right now, and until I know more about SAP with the Iceberg adoption, I will say more, but now performance is a limitation using the Delta capability."
"TIBCO Statistica could improve by expanding its neural network capabilities to support multi-layer networks, addressing user demands for advanced tasks like image analysis."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It Wasn't directly involved in the pricing discussions, but when I joined the organization, they had already purchased the SAP Analytics Cloud solution. The organization faced challenges due to its perceived expense, leading to restrictions on granting access to many users."
"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 product is expensive."
"Its price is slightly on the higher side."
"This solution offers value for money and you get what you pay for."
"The price is competitive. There is a power user license and normal user license, but the normal user license is reasonable."
"I don't have the exact price for SAP Analytics Cloud, but it could be improved and made cheaper, especially when compared to Power BI."
"It's quite expensive and costs a lot to maintain, especially with licensing."
