Easy to set up with good data integration and data virtualization
We developed the solution based on Hadoop, but using Hadoop as a relationship database, it's hard to maintain and recruit developers. There needs to be better integrations with other solutions and there need to be more tools (including virtualization tools) and utilities between this solution and Hadoop. For example, Oracle has a product called Big Data SQL and it built a bridge between Hadoop and Oracle's database to make things easier for developers. The solution needs to be more stable.

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

"The solution's most valuable aspects are its data integration and data virtualization."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is the fact that it is open source."
"With this product, they get all the data; it's good quality and refreshed frequently so the customer is able to pull more valuable insights for their business."
"The most valuable feature of the tool is machine learning."
"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."
"We use both Tableau and SAP Analytics Cloud, and sometimes we find that SAP Analytics performs better than Tableau."
"Visualization is quite seamless and awesome. Once the data messaging is set up, it's straightforward and simple to select how it should be displayed. So, that's another advantage of SAP."
"Provides rich features for developing automated reports and dashboards."
"The stability is quite good; it doesn't crash or freeze, there are no bugs or glitches, and it's reliable."
"Offers both business intelligence as well as inbuilt AI and machine learning capabilities."
"Revenue has increased because of SAP Business Data Cloud, as we are gaining more traction and business."
 

Cons

"We've had some issues with stability."
"The solution needs to improve the functionality of the auto-deduplication."
"We developed the solution based on Hadoop, but using Hadoop as a relationship database, it's hard to maintain and recruit developers."
"They lack the ability to respond to issues in a timely manner."
"The price, integration, and modeling capabilities could be better. I have to use an integration engine to integrate our products and databases. SAP Analytics Cloud is made specifically for KPIs and business intelligence. The modeling capabilities are kind of poor. You always have to model the data and then present it visually in SAP Analytics Cloud. In the next release, I would like to have a lite version for planning to create scenarios quickly. For me personally, planning is the most complicated feature of SAP Analytics Cloud."
"The user interface of SAP Business Data Cloud could be more intuitive, particularly for non-technical users, and I would appreciate simpler navigation, user configuration, and better troubleshooting tools to improve the overall experience."
"There are dimension restrictions. The scope is limited to only five to six accounts."
"Regarding the deployment process, I find it complex. SAP requires more configurations, and it is not easy to install SAP."
"The analytics part of SAP has not been that good up until now. They're still in the infant stage and development is still going on. SAP has some cloud analytics and they're trying to configure it in Lumira, but it's not that good at this point."
"I would not say SAP Business Data Cloud is stable at this point because we receive new updates and fixes from SAP every week."
"Some algorithms are complex and can't be processed by just tagging the data and expecting results."
"Currently only one data modeler can work at a time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"SAP Analytics can be very costly to license, which can make it difficult for organizations to implement."
"It Wasn't directly involved in the pricing discussions, but when I joined the organization, they had already purchased the SAP Analytics Cloud solution. The organization faced challenges due to its perceived expense, leading to restrictions on granting access to many users."
"The pricing of this product is reasonable."
"They are pursuing a highly assertive approach to target businesses of all sizes within the industry."
"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."
"The price is competitive. There is a power user license and normal user license, but the normal user license is reasonable."
"This solution is pricey."
"Compute and storage features should be sold separately."
