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

"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"The integration feature is very good because you can automate protection security automatically, restricting the access of unauthorized people."
"I highly recommend it for companies who want to test their application functionality, dev, or test DBs for cost optimization."
"The solution integrates well with Power BI."
"The solution has a self-backup, so you don't need a DBA (database administrator) to do a backup."
"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."
"The analytics have been very good. We've found them to be quite useful."
"The product has self-repair features."
"I love a lot of things about the product; the first is Smart Discovery and Smart Insight, and it is amazing having predictive analysis and AI algorithms."
"It is scalable."
"Technical support is helpful."
"SAP Business Data Cloud provides a very seamless experience because within one package we gain AI-infused capabilities, analytical features, and planning tools that enable deeper insights and more informed business decisions based on comprehensive data analysis."
"All the services are available under one service, and the usability is easy with a user-friendly interface."
"Planning and integration are the most valuable features. It is useful for planning, and it is useful for integrating with on-prem or cloud SAP solutions."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Analytics Cloud is its integration with SAP."
"Transitioning from BW to SAP Business Data Cloud made our daily data operations faster because SAP provides a clear path for migrations."
 

Cons

"A lot of the tools that were previously there have now been taken away."
"The solution could be improved by allowing for migration tools from other cloud services, including migration from Amazon Redshift, RDS, and Aurora."
"My main suggestion for Oracle is the configuration and key values that come for JSON files. When we create a table, especially if you see in our RedShift or some other stuff, if I create a table on top of a JSON file with multiple array columns or superset columns, those column values create some difficulty in Oracle."
"They should make the solution more user-friendly."
"An improvement for us would be the inclusion of support for an internal IP, so we could use it directly with the VCN in Oracle Cloud."
"The initial setup was pretty complex. It was not easy."
"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."
"It is good as data warehouses go, but it is not that good for really big data."
"The predictive analytics functions, although promising, are currently only suitable for Proof of Concepts (POCs) and not for industrial-scale use."
"I would say it is 80 to 90% accurate and reliable, but still, I do not feel satisfied."
"The business intelligence features should be improved because there is a lack of functionality regarding that part."
"Sometimes we have difficulty connecting to a SharePoint list."
"Though it's the best placed product when working with an SAP BW backend, it still lacks a lot of functionalities when compared to other tools such as Power BI or Tableau."
"An additional feature that needs to be added to SAP Analytics Cloud is exporting because right now, you can only export to PDF and PowerPoint. It would be good to have multiple export options, for example, to Excel and other apps. Pricing is an area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud, apart from exporting."
"Performance is a limitation that SAP Business Data Cloud has right now, and until I know more about SAP with the Iceberg adoption, I will say more, but now performance is a limitation using the Delta capability."
"The cost is an area that could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ROI is high."
"The price depends on the configuration we choose."
"In terms of architecture and pricing structure, I feel it is a little bit costly compared to Azure. It's fine compared to RedShift, but compared to Azure, it's a bit pricey when you calculate for one TB storage plus around five hours of reporting with the frequency of 1TB data. The cost adds up, making Oracle a bit expensive."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"The solution is expensive."
"You pay as you go, and you don't pay for services that you don't use."
"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."
"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."
"SAP Analytics Cloud can be quite 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."
"It is an expensive solution."
"This solution is pricey."
"It's not that costly as such for the time being."
"The pricing is based on an annual license and is rated a four out of ten."
"The pricing of this product is reasonable."
"The product is expensive."
