Scripting is a great feature as is the ability to export almost anything
Scripting is a good feature if you have programming and scripting skills. It can be used without those skills but I think it's difficult to integrate them in PRISM. The best thing is that you can export almost anything whether it's graphics or data and you can change dates on the fly.

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

"You can export almost anything whether it's graphics or data."
"I think the NetSuite support is one of the best I've ever had."
"I would also tell others to go for SAP Analytics Cloud over other technologies because SAP has a vast infrastructure, so you can integrate different modules and products within SAP very easily."
"The most valuable features are the analytical application and the user story."
"I like the connectivity the solution provides with other products, as one can see different data sources, such as SAP ERP and the in-house hub, create a business warehouse, and import multi-dimensional data from flat files and various sources."
"It's easy to connect Analytics Cloud with other SAP solutions, and it's also effortless to deploy."
"The features that I have found most valuable with SAP ERP products are their good user interface, stability, functionality, and good interface options."
"I like the product's capabilities. The clarity and scenarios are the main features that allow us to forecast using machine learning algorithms and make decisions."
"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."
"All of the modules that we used to have separately in our on-premises solution are now integrated into one platform."
 

Cons

"I think the only limitation in the solution is the graphics which could be improved."
"Graphics are limited and could be improved."
"Statistical analysis should be a bit more profound than it is."
"What could be improved in SAP Analytics Cloud is integration, particularly in terms of extracting data from the source system."
"The scope is limited to a few accounts."
"I would like to see reporting to the Analytics cloud directly."
"SAP Analytics Cloud requires a lot of coding and I would like the coding to be somewhat minimal."
"What should be improved in SAP Analytics Cloud is the speed of importing information and data from SAP S/4HANA, because it's what we're using."
"In the live connection model, we can't create calculated dimensions, however, in the import model we can create them."
"There is plenty of room for improvement. They have different products, and you need to integrate all of them to have one functionality. For example, data extraction happens in Datasphere. Then it would be best if you had some connection between the Datasphere and the SAP Analytics Cloud to get the data, as this is causing headaches sometimes. The knowledge base and Jedox also could be more meaningful. I have tried to search for some specific knowledge base and technology base, and I didn't find them. I have learned it by trial and error. There is room to improve the integrations between the different products. The AFS, and the Data action, need improvement. Sometimes they release new tools and updates, but not in my area."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"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."
"It's not that costly as such for the time being."
"SAP pricing tends to be premium, so it is slightly higher."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is expensive. The price is a big issue if you compare it with other solutions from different vendors."

Which would you choose - Tableau or SAP Analytics Cloud?
Tableau is easy to set up and maintain. In about a day it is possible for the entire platform to be deployed for use. This relatively short amount of time can make all the difference for companies ...
What do you like most about SAP Analytics Cloud?
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.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for SAP Analytics Cloud?
I normally do not deal with the commercials, so I am not aware of the pricing part of it.
