Analytics and data security needs are met but optimization requires improvement

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

"One advantage is that if you already have an Oracle Database, it easily integrates with that."
"With Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse, things are much simpler. Creating a structure, initializing the servers, extending the servers, those are all things that are very, very easy. That's the main reason we use it."
"Amazing performance, it is a revolution."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is used globally to deliver extreme performance on large Financial data sets."
"The integration feature is very good because you can automate protection security automatically, restricting the access of unauthorized people."
"I loved the simplicity of loading the data and simply relying on the self-tuning capabilities of ADW."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"It provides Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) capabilities by default to address data security issues."
"I strongly recommend this particular product because whatever I do in multiple tools, in reporting or dashboarding, for example, I carry out a planning process where everything is integrated, so I strongly recommend SAP."
"One of the most outstanding features is being able to use the dashboard with a touch screen."
"The best feature of SAP Business Data Cloud is that it's a cloud-based solution, making it software as a service, and we save on the BODS license and avoid the costs associated with the Enterprise HANA 48 terabyte box while easily storing petabytes of data for significant cost savings going forward."
"SAP Analytics Cloud provides benefits such as time savings and cost-effectiveness because anyone using a planning tool traditionally relies on Excel sheets to build planning."
"If your data is stored in the SAP environment, it is still the best tool in the market."
"As a partner, I believe the biggest advantage in the product is that SAP context is maintained."
"The solution is quite effective for collaborative planning."
"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."
 

Cons

"It is good as data warehouses go, but it is not that good for really big data."
"It doesn't work well when you have unstructured data or you need online analytics. It is not as nice as Hadoop in these aspects."
"One of the major problem is creating custom tablespace. The ADB serverless option doesn't support custom tablespace creation, which could cause issues during on-premise database migration that requires specifically named tablespace. There should be an option to create customized tablespace."
"There is a need for more storage to be allocated, but over a period of time, it becomes impossible to reduce it after using it."
"Oracle should increase visibility options because what's available now is limited."
"The installation process is complex. Oracle can make the installation process better."
"Ease of interconnectivity could be improved by which I mean setting up the VPN access and the like from on-premises to cloud."
"Ease of connectivity could be improved."
"The initial setup requires some time to implement and could be more simplified for faster deployment."
"One potential improvement is how we can transpose data. With SAP, if you have data from one system with a declared data type and a different system with another data type, the transfer is tricky."
"They need more support for more languages, Python for example."
"Currently only one data modeler can work at a time."
"I would rate SAP Analytics Cloud seven out of 10 because the product needs to mature a lot. SAP still needs to add several features to make it a robust BI solution."
"Sometimes we have difficulty connecting to a SharePoint list."
"All the features are there, maybe except for the one-gauge visualization."
"It is slightly behind other tools in terms of the number of graphical outputs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing an eight."
"You pay as you go, and you don't pay for services that you don't use."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"The licensing cost of the product can vary since you can integrate it very easily with other products or other cloud products...You pay as you use it, so it is not yearly or monthly payments to be made toward Oracle."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse's pricing is fair and reasonable compared to the other cloud vendors."
"The cost is perfect with Oracle Universal credit."
"Cloud solutions are cheaper, but in the long run, they may not be much cheaper. They certainly have a lower initial cost. The licensing is yearly, and it is based on the size of the hardware and the number of users."
"ROI is high."
"The tool's pricing is medium, and licensing costs are yearly."
"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."
"The premium option is very expensive at five thousand dollars. I use the nine hundred and ninety-nine dollar option."
"This solution is pricey."
"The product is expensive."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is expensive. The price is a big issue if you compare it with other solutions from different vendors."
"The platform is about 50% more expensive than Power BI."
"The price is competitive. There is a power user license and normal user license, but the normal user license is reasonable."
