Dalvi Raghuram - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Technician at HCLSoftware
Unified metrics have reduced confusion and now empower teams to explore data and decide faster
Omni helped my team solve the multiple sources of truth problem by centralizing metric definitions in a governed semantic layer, so we stop debating KPIs and start aligning on the same numbers. It also bridges the gap between technical and non-technical users. Analysts can use SQL while business users can work with spreadsheet-like formulas, so more people can self-serve without constant data team support. As a result, we can answer questions faster, iterate on analysis in one place, and scale reporting more reliably across teams. Omni has positively impacted our organization because it helps us answer questions faster, iterate on analysis in one place, and scale reporting more reliably across teams. This tool has also been very beneficial because it simplifies tracking key metrics, improves visibility across different data sources, and makes it easier to identify trends and patterns without depending heavily on technical teams. It also saves time, supports better decision-making, and enables more efficient reporting through centralized dashboards and visual analytics. I can give you a specific example of how much time my team has saved since using Omni: it has greatly improved our decision-making from 40 to 68 percent. We have also been able to save time ranging from 60 to 70 percent.

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

"Omni is a powerful analytics tool that helps us make faster and better decisions."
"I don't find any negative aspects of SAP Business Data Cloud, to be very honest."
"Using these connectors has significantly impacted our workflow and data integration with third-party tools."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The platform's main benefit is its integration with SAP ERP data. It’s effective for data integration and integrity."
"The visualizations are quite eye-appealing."
"This tool is very useful; when I do my analysis there, the AI tool helps me a lot to understand the data and what I need to do."
"The integration aspects between SAP and SAP Business Data Cloud are pretty good and seamless, with multiple ways to take the data that all work seamlessly, and taking data out to Azure Data Lake using premium outbound as a service and replication flows in Data Sphere is really seamless."
"Time to value has significantly increased because there is a lot less dependency on your traditional IT organization."
 

Cons

"Some advanced features feel a bit hidden and the modeling IDE experience could use stronger IntelliSense plus better organization with deeper field nesting to make large webhooks easier to navigate."
"There are significant hindrances in the reliability area of SAP Business Data Cloud related to connections. On one project, we created two to three connections for each module; however, when we moved from the development phase to the UAT or quality check phase, we found that our connections had expired, which meant redevelopment work, loss of time and money, and we also lost the trust of the customer."
"The initial setup requires some time to implement and could be more simplified for faster deployment."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing of SAP Business Data Cloud is that it is very high compared to implementation costs."
"The main area that needs improvement is visualization."
"However, there are areas of improvement, particularly in terms of visualization. The front-end interface of SAP Analytics Cloud is not as impressive as Tableau and Power BI. The charts in other solutions have a more visually appealing and customizable look, while in SAP Analytics Cloud, there's a lack of alignment between numbers and charts. This graphical aspect, especially concerning charts, is not as satisfactory in SAP Analytics Cloud compared to its counterparts."
"The cost is an area that could be improved."
"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 dislike when they do a lot of verification before I begin. I need to follow various steps to get into the system, and I hate this one."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Compute and storage features should be sold separately."
"SAP Analytics can be very costly to license, which can make it difficult for organizations to implement."
"The product is expensive."
"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 pricing of this product is reasonable."
"SAP pricing tends to be premium, so it is slightly higher."
"I don't have the exact price for SAP Analytics Cloud, but it could be improved and made cheaper, especially when compared to Power BI."
