The most valuable features of SAP Analytics Cloud are its native integration with SAP data and the ability to leverage SAP artifacts. This integration is extremely beneficial and provides something other products can't due to their lack of access to SAP data.

The tool's most valuable feature is its integration with other SAP products. There are no special features in the tool we are using. We are using it in a very simple manner, using it for multi-dimensions, financial reports, and reporting.

When using cloud analytics, you often need to build a staging environment and an aggregation layer if you have different applications. However, since everything is running in the SAP landscape on the HANA database, data extraction and aggregation have become much easier and more efficient at any given time.

In SAP Analytics Cloud, there is a functionality called the best practice reports. SAP provides pre-built reports for certain functions and certain modules. For example, for SuccessFactors and S/4HANA Cloud, there are pre-built reports available which are commonly used by customers. This functionality is very useful, as once connectivity is done, it allows users to easily populate data and generate reports from the system out-of-the-box. View full review »

In my opinion, it is good for analytics. Everything is in the cloud. You can also use it for non-SAP sources. You can bring in visualizations for the data, for anything. It's a good feature for Analytics Cloud.

Predictive analytics is used for data sources. Sometimes, they are custom; you can bring your custom data source directly from predictive analytics, or we can use custom tables for forecasting. Forecasting and planning for sales and financial balance sheets are done here.

AI has already started this year. AI for ABAP has started, and AI for Analytics processes is there. Joule is one main feature; you can use it within SAP Analytics Cloud. It is used for planning.

Some beneficial features include data adaptation or massaging capabilities – the platform makes that simple. 

The user interface (UI) is also quite intuitive and straightforward. 

Visualization is quite seamless and awesome. Once the data messaging is set up, it's straightforward and simple to select how it should be displayed. So, that's another advantage of SAP.

Predictive analytics capabilities are also good. It has positively impacted decision-making. Recently, we did predictive analysis for a Middle East client. We worked with their OT systems.

So, for OT systems, the client needed to plan for predictive maintenance. They have a heavy manufacturing focus and wanted to accumulate data and get strong insights. 

They had various data sources – your furnace has some data, your chiller has different data, and it's all local to those systems. The challenge is getting everything centralized for insights. We leveraged SAP for this, and it was very beneficial because they're primarily an SAP client, meaning they use SAP ERP. 

So it's easy to pull data from OT systems and SAP. Having the Cloud component is also helpful, as they can look at and change reports at runtime. They were able to get insights five levels deep.

Most often integration is there, but in cases where adapters or connectors are not available, we have to opt for DataSphere to bring data into the landscape, and then it allows connection. For the majority of cases, it works well, especially because the integration suite is helpful.

It's the only product that can do real-time analytics on top of SAP ERP data sources. Most other reporting and analytics tools don't have that capability. It also includes planning features, making it a single platform for analytics, planning, and predictive capabilities. It's a purely SaaS platform.

SAP has integrated a new AI capability called JUEL, which includes natural language processing features. It's still in the early stages, but SAP is investing in its development.

A few things are industry norms or standards. A data warehouse is available to pull data, change data types, and play with it (manipulate it). All data types don't allow easy changes. For example, if it's numbers, you cannot search with regular expressions. However, some things require exploring or finding regular expressions to show, decide, or conclude. 

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.

This is a regular feature of a data warehouse, but SAP Analytics Cloud also offers an out-of-the-box visualization package. This is handy for showcasing data, and everything is scalable. You can make changes and codes to see data differently. You can add different visualizations that aren't available in the package, and connect to third-party systems easily.

You have the flexibility of reading metadata. Based on the schema details, you can make necessary changes and resend data while complying with the same schema during syncing. This is useful if you are processing data. Command-line interface (CLI) mode is also available.

The most valuable feature of SAP Analytics Cloud for data analysis tasks is its compatibility with the SAP ecosystem. It is easy to integrate with SAP ERP and BW systems, allowing smooth data transfer and live connections without much development. This compatibility makes it stand out, especially compared to other systems like Power BI or Tableau, which often require more adaptation and specific development. Additionally, it supports SAP's push towards cloud solutions, integrating well with SAP BTP and other cloud offerings.

SAP Analytics Cloud allows you to quickly perform various tasks in terms of virtualization. CyberArk itself requires some enhancements to better connect with other technologies. While it's easy to connect with SAP, using analytics tools may sometimes necessitate sourcing information from different platforms. You might need data from SAP or other technologies/platforms to access specific information not available within SAP. SAP is effective for managing storage and enhancing virtualization capabilities. However, when accessing data from diverse platforms, complexities may arise.

There is a seamless integration with SAP S4HANA which is really valuable to our organization and its functions. Since the data is stored in the same ecosystem, it creates a simple process of building dashboards, without making the process cumbersome The Analytics Cloud provides standardized templates and storage options, making it easy to plug into existing structures.

We're utilizing custom stories that have already been developed, streamlining the development process. It serves as a convenient starting point and contributes to the overall ease of development. Another advantage is that it doesn't provide the same level of calculation power as Power BI and Tableau. SAP Analytics Cloud emphasizes pushing analytics back into the database, recommending data manipulation and preparation outside of the platform. This approach is seen as an advantage, as it allows for more robust data handling.

The most valuable feature of the tool is machine learning. The machine learning algorithms are inbuilt and strong. I really like that feature because we don't need to do any coding. Normally, we used to do coding in Jupyter notes or Anaconda. It's another tool for analytics or for data science. We used to write Python code, and then try to fetch the data from the backend system, and perform the analysis, based on the batch. SAP Analytics is more real-time analytics and the use case which I use the tool for, with S/4HANA itself. SAP Analytics makes it much easier for me to have the data directly in real-time, to perform this machine learning. I have also seen some good automation features for budgeting and budgeting processes. This combined feature gives a very good flavor to perform the analytics.

One of the most outstanding features is being able to use the dashboard with a touch screen. The other feature is nothing special compared with BusinessObjects, but it's a cloud version and they upgrade very often with the CI/CD way. They do it automatically because it's the service, it's not like download and installation. It's different from the other BI products and it has a planning feature.

The most valuable features are on the application side, where you can design applications into your analytics on the platform.

There are many scripting capabilities with a language that is close to JavaScript. It's not exactly JavaScript but it's a spin-off of it.

It has a rich number of templates included that you can enhance.

It's easier to get going on, compared to other solutions. 

Many of my clients are apprehensive when you have to deploy the solution. They ask you if the data could be transferred to visualization software.

It's cloud-based, and what's good about the cloud is that it doesn't need to store any data. It can read your data and generate it from the NetApp file. It can generate your model or how your model is going to look like. You don't need to transfer your data set to the cloud to report on.

It's quite flexible.

A point of differentiation in the market for Analytics Cloud compared to other analytics products, is it offers not only business intelligence within the application, but also it has inbuilt AI and machine learning capabilities that can be used not only by data scientist types in the organization, but for general users who can get the benefit of inbuilt predictive features in the tool. The other really compelling part of it is that it's also a planning application. You can do full life cycle from plan through execution in a single platform. That's quite unique for SAP. A lot of the other software vendors do analytics products and they do planning products. This is quite a unique combination that has both BI predictive and planning in a single application. And that's really where its strengths is.

The analytics privacy is the best in the market in BI platforms. SAP Analytics Cloud has a planning tool and integration tool. It is the best business intelligence platform. It's not very complex. Its many features make it the best in the market. It also has new extra storage. I have had very good experiences with SAP Analytics Cloud. There are many standards for setup. The SAP Analytics Cloud connects with the SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC) or S/4HANA (SAP's ERP for large enterprises) or any other things around the application server. SAP Analytics Cloud has machine learning installed, which includes a Smart Discovery and a smart BI tool. It's the best feature if you need machine learning. The Smart Discovery is the best tool for me in catalog discovery tools. In addition to SAP Analytics Cloud, there is SAP Data Warehouse Cloud, includes other tools about business intelligence, and SAP HANA Cloud tools

I love a lot of things about the product. The first is Smart Discovery and Smart Insight.

Another is planning KPIs
