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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."
"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."
"We switched to CloverETL because of its flexibility to connect to various data sources and no dependence on native language and ease of use."
"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."
"No dependence on native language and ease of use.​​"
"Familiar, intuitive GUI coming from a Java development background, in-depth, descriptive, and well-laid-out documentation, responsive support through forums directly from Clover staff, a wealth of customizable pre-defined components, descriptive logging for error messages, and ease of install with a light footprint make it very effective to use."
"If 85-90% of your data comes from SAP, then it's the best solution."
"SAP Business Data Cloud has positively impacted my organization by ensuring that there are multiple projects which are still on BW, so there will be very little downtime for them to use or to still keep reporting the existing data from BW."
"There is a really nice insight feature that I enjoy using."
"There is a lot of seamless integration and you can avoid a lot of licensing costs."
"Considering the reporting part, I rate the tool a nine out of ten."
"One of the most outstanding features is being able to use the dashboard with a touch screen."
"It's so user-friendly."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"Its documentation could be improved.​"
"Needs easier automated failure recovery, more and more intuitive auto-generated or filled-in code for components, and easier or more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."
"​Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough.​"
"If SAP Business Data Cloud could elaborate on some areas in the future, I could say insights are currently the default, representing your data into pie charts and chart patterns."
"Technical support could be more helpful and responsive."
"We need to know that we are using the latest and greatest, and SAP appears as if it has lost some credibility in the market."
"If the application has many pages or a page with more charts, it tends to load slowly."
"The solution should include other scripting languages as well, such as Python."
"It is slightly behind other tools in terms of the number of graphical outputs."
"I'm not satisfied with technical support because they're taking some time. Sometimes I think they could be faster."
"From a learning perspective, there needs to be better support from SAP. The learning documentation and software are not as robust as I would hope from SAP's side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The tool's pricing is medium, and licensing costs are yearly."
"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."
"Its pricing is okay as compared to its competitors."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is a bit higher [in price]. Because, if Microsoft can afford a better product and lower cost, SAP can afford at least the same, or even lower."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"The price is competitive. There is a power user license and normal user license, but the normal user license is reasonable."
"This solution offers value for money and you get what you pay for."
"The premium option is very expensive at five thousand dollars. I use the nine hundred and ninety-nine dollar option."
