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.

Great reporting and customizations with good reliability
A lot of the improvement is not so much the product as it is how it's deployed; it's about mapping against what you need to improve your processes, whether it's the Kofax kind of shows in the IDP. You've got process orchestration, extraction and robotic process automation, process orchestration, and then mobile. Tracking what you need out of those, either all five together or one of those separated out, is usually what's more critical. They do add capabilities to the tool. However, from our perspective as a consulting organization, the real key is whether you are getting the data you need to improve your process or if your reporting is not providing you with the desired information you need to improve your processes. If there's any negative, it's just the different names, the branding names that the product's gone through. It's confusing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface is quite good for developing reports out of models."
"SAP Analytics Cloud changed the culture of meetings with data-driven management for our client."
"Easy to use."
"I strongly recommend this particular product because whatever I do in multiple tools, in reporting or dashboarding, for example, I carry out a planning process where everything is integrated, so I strongly recommend SAP."
"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."
"Real-time data makes for a single version of the truth."
"It's very user-friendly and intuitive for both the management and technical team - no matter who uses it, it's not too hard to deal with."
"It's many features make it the best in the market."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The designer and workspace tools in Kofax Insight are good, providing the ability to design applications directly and read various types of PDF images, handwritten files and cheques, transferring the data from these images into the database and making it accessible on mobile and computer devices."
"Based on my experience, it's been a very, very good product, a very powerful insight analytics or business KPI-type tool that provides a very good data-based review of intelligent document processing and allows clients to develop their own reliable, customized reports."
"It provides the ability to design applications directly."
"The solution is easy to manage, very easy to scan and archive documents, and after digitizing it is very easy to reach archived documents."
"You can easily customize reporting to pull the fields that interest you."
 

Cons

"It's quite expensive and costs a lot to maintain, especially with licensing."
"It is very expensive."
"Connection and integration with other applications have a lot of restrictions at the moment."
"Technical support could be more helpful and responsive."
"It is slightly behind other tools in terms of the number of graphical outputs."
"The general management of this solution could be improved. The graphics or icons could also be improved to allow them to integrate with other environments on the web."
"I would rate SAP Analytics Cloud seven out of 10 because the product needs to mature a lot. SAP still needs to add several features to make it a robust BI solution."
"If the application has many pages or a page with more charts, it tends to load slowly."
"The initial setup is complex and would be difficult to carry out without any training."
"The solution is not cheap. It is a bit pricey, and therefore more suited towards larger companies."
"If there's any negative, it's just the different names, the branding names that the product's gone through, it's confusing."
"The reporting and internal integration systems could be improved by making them more user-friendly."
"If there's any negative, it's just the different names, the branding names that the product's gone through. It's confusing."
"It would be ideal if there were some standard forms that could be customized."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compute and storage features should be sold separately."
"The price is competitive. There is a power user license and normal user license, but the normal user license is reasonable."
"SAP pricing tends to be premium, so it is slightly higher."
"The premium option is very expensive at five thousand dollars. I use the nine hundred and ninety-nine dollar option."
"The product is expensive."
"SAP Analytics can be very costly to license, which can make it difficult for organizations to implement."
"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."
"SAP Analytics Cloud can be quite expensive."
