Integrating external keys seamlessly while has transaction constraints
I find DataLoader's ability to easily integrate with external keys valuable, which is a bit more challenging with DBM. It provides automation for scheduling data loads, and we use the server's functionality for this. Additionally, DataLoader is cost-effective since it is free. As long as I have stable network access, uploading and downloading data is straightforward.

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.

"I find DataLoader's ability to easily integrate with external keys valuable, which is a bit more challenging with DBM."
"The visualization feature is the most valuable. SAP Analytics Cloud is also very easy to use."
"For financial purposes, we are using SAP Business Data Cloud, and all of it lands in the same zone."
"Using the integration between SAP HANA Cloud and SAP Business Data Cloud is the most efficient integration, and when it's all in one SAP ecosystem, that's when it actually shows and shines."
"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."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is very easy to use, and you don't require much technology. It has a very good library and analytics. It is easy to configure and offers good visualization."
"Its user-friendliness is valuable. It is a product for end-users and not for IT, which is an advantage."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The features that are most valuable in SAP Analytics Cloud are the planning feature and the predictive analytics feature, though the planning feature needs to be more efficient."
 

Cons

"We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records."
"Dataloader has limitations, including constraints with file sizes and transactions. Additionally, at times it can be slow, and when integrating DBM, we find it more complex than Dataloader."
"I would not say the initial setup is straightforward, but the hurdles were expected ones."
"I would like to see improved support for third-party systems, lower cost of acquisition, and better graphics and interface design."
"Some of the standard visualizations, such as a speedometer or a goal chart, are not there and should be added."
"Real-time reporting is one area that needs improvement for the product."
"In general Power BI seems to be more professional and user-friendly, it's certainly easier to find data."
"What I dislike about SAP Business Data Cloud is that the way they position the data products is a little confusing for users because it is fundamentally different whether you're using data products that SAP delivers."
"Technical support could be more helpful and responsive."
"The cost is an area that could be improved."
