You can use the process mapping module to build processes that can be converted into SOPs. Licensing is unreasonable.
The process-mapping module helped the BPR team in creating detailed process maps quickly. The process converter tool helped the team establish baseline SOPs that can be taken further to implement comprehensive documentation that serves the departments’ needs. The content management part helped in sharing the processes safely with the rest of the organization.

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 process mapping module is highly user friendly and allows users to quickly build processes with thorough details that can be converted into comprehensive end-to-end SOPs."
"The product has so many features, but it has some unique ones that most of the similar products do not have."
"The new QPR Suite 2014 including QPR EnterpriseArchitect, QPR ProcessDesigner, QPR Metrics and QPR ProcessAnalyzer delivers the right capabilities for business management and enterprise architects to support operational development and business transformation cases."
"SAP Business Data Cloud has impacted my organization and my customers' organizations positively as customers are starting to explore how to transition from existing data warehouses into this data product economy."
"The most valuable features are the visualization and user-friendliness; it's like a self-service platform, and if the connectivity is good then anyone can log in and use it."
"The tool's most valuable features are the BI and planning functionalities. I value being able to integrate smart planning with BI for analysis. The solution is user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"It offers good backup capabilities."
"The features that I have found most valuable with SAP ERP products are their good user interface, stability, functionality, and good interface options."
"Since implementing SAP Business Data Cloud, reporting has become 30 to 50 percent faster as business data no longer needs to be manually consolidated from multiple systems."
 

Cons

"Mobile features need to be improved."
"There should be an easier way of reporting, or producing, reports in MS Office."
"The QPR content management module is highly complex and difficult to use."
"My experience implementing SAP Business Data Cloud and migrating has not been very easy or straightforward because in BW, I have a lot of objects, including cubes, DSOs, ADSOs, composite providers, and multi-providers, and there is a lot of flexibility in the system."
"They need more support for more languages, Python for example."
"Pricing and support are integrated into the system. However, the support process can be challenging, particularly when navigating the SAP support site, which lacks user-friendliness and ease of access."
"The security, authorization, and live connection to the back-office system features can be improved."
"SAP Business Data Cloud can be improved by providing more use cases for intelligent applications."
"It's lacking a bit in maturity and we find we can't replace our existing mode 1 analytics tool until it's improved."
"I would also like to have more advanced features for predictive analytics."
"When it comes to planning there is a concern about the ability to match the exact requirements of the customer with what the product offers."
