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.

Great reporting and customizations with good reliability
A lot of the improvement is not so much the product as it is how it's deployed; it's about mapping against what you need to improve your processes, whether it's the Kofax kind of shows in the IDP. You've got process orchestration, extraction and robotic process automation, process orchestration, and then mobile. Tracking what you need out of those, either all five together or one of those separated out, is usually what's more critical. They do add capabilities to the tool. However, from our perspective as a consulting organization, the real key is whether you are getting the data you need to improve your process or if your reporting is not providing you with the desired information you need to improve your processes. If there's any negative, it's just the different names, the branding names that the product's gone through. It's confusing.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. We haven't tried all of the features yet. The graphing and the ease of using the analytics tools have been great. It's all drag and drop; you don't need to code anything."
"The product's native integration with SAP ERP systems is particularly valuable."
"Using these connectors has significantly impacted our workflow and data integration with third-party tools."
"SAP Business Data Cloud has positively impacted my organization by improving decision-making through real-time insights into what is changing in the business."
"In the most recent release, the schedule publication was officially updated and it's been added on MS Office 365. I like how we had an EPM for B to C perspective; it's a great enhancement. Also, I believe the B to B connectivity has been improved. Android support for mobile is really good also. Power BI has always had android support in place, so manual support for SAP Analytics Cloud is also a very good feature."
"One of the most outstanding features is being able to use the dashboard with a touch screen."
"The features that I have found most valuable with SAP ERP products are their good user interface, stability, functionality, and good interface options."
"You can easily customize reporting to pull the fields that interest you."
"It provides the ability to design applications directly."
"Based on my experience, it's been a very, very good product, a very powerful insight analytics or business KPI-type tool that provides a very good data-based review of intelligent document processing and allows clients to develop their own reliable, customized reports."
"The solution is easy to manage, very easy to scan and archive documents, and after digitizing it is very easy to reach archived documents."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The designer and workspace tools in Kofax Insight are good, providing the ability to design applications directly and read various types of PDF images, handwritten files and cheques, transferring the data from these images into the database and making it accessible on mobile and computer devices."
 

Cons

"It should have the flexibility for scoping the story and models. When you use it in a three-layer architecture, you struggle with the fact that you usually have just one SAP Analytics Cloud tenant, and you have to switch the connections, which might be an issue for bigger developments. For the development role, there should be an option to switch between development and production scenarios."
"It is slightly behind other tools in terms of the number of graphical outputs."
"Regarding pricing, SAP has adopted a pay-as-you-go service model, which is good, but pricing is high."
"Some of the standard visualizations, such as a speedometer or a goal chart, are not there and should be added."
"SAP Analytics Cloud should improve the dashboard."
"What I dislike about SAP Business Data Cloud is that the way they position the data products is a little confusing for users because it is fundamentally different whether you're using data products that SAP delivers."
"I am not happy with the predictive analytics features and smart features offered by the product, making them areas where improvements are required."
"I would like to see simpler deployment and out-of-the-box integration with non-SAP systems, as well as enhancements to the self-service analytic features in SAP Business Data Cloud."
"The reporting and internal integration systems could be improved by making them more user-friendly."
"It would be ideal if there were some standard forms that could be customized."
"The solution is not cheap. It is a bit pricey, and therefore more suited towards larger companies."
"If there's any negative, it's just the different names, the branding names that the product's gone through. It's confusing."
"The initial setup is complex and would be difficult to carry out without any training."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is based on an annual license and is rated a four out of ten."
"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 tool's pricing is medium, and licensing costs are yearly."
"It's quite expensive and costs a lot to maintain, especially with licensing."
"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."
"The premium option is very expensive at five thousand dollars. I use the nine hundred and ninety-nine dollar option."
"Compute and storage features should be sold separately."
"The pricing is reasonable."
