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.

Good management and pricing but not great for enterprise environments
In a high-density location, we're running into connectivity drops. There may be too many rouge devices broadcasting, and the devices is getting interference from another channel. The only to fix this is to reboot and we need something that reboots on the fly. We also need better security for VLANs and VPNs. There are issues with certain Apple devices. Technical support is not very helpful. The initial setup, which seemed straightforward at first, had to be redone. This may not have been the fault of the product. We're not sure what went wrong.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SAP Analytics Cloud changed the culture of meetings with data-driven management for our client."
"One feature I've found most valuable is discovery."
"We switched to SAP Analytics Cloud primarily for the planning, development, and the user-friendliness."
"I don't find any negative aspects of SAP Business Data Cloud, to be very honest."
"It's easy to connect Analytics Cloud with other SAP solutions, and it's also effortless to deploy. You don't need much technical skill to set it up. It's as easy as setting up a tablet. I said tablet before. It's very easy to actually set up."
"There is a really nice insight feature that I enjoy using."
"The most valuable features of SAP Analytics Cloud are its native integration with SAP data and the ability to leverage SAP artifacts."
"The visualization feature is the most valuable. SAP Analytics Cloud is also very easy to use."
"It's easy to manage and supports the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
 

Cons

"I am not happy with the predictive analytics features and smart features offered by the product, making them areas where improvements are required."
"Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub."
"The predictive analytics functions, although promising, are currently only suitable for Proof of Concepts (POCs) and not for industrial-scale use."
"Technical support could be more helpful and responsive."
"In the live connection model, we can't create calculated dimensions, however, in the import model we can create them."
"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."
"It's actually a bit difficult at the moment to explain to the clients all the benefits of SAP Business Data Cloud."
"Improvement could be made in the pricing of the product which is very expensive, more than Oracle and Power BI and similar solutions."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SAP Analytics Cloud can be quite expensive."
"This solution is pricey."
"Its pricing is okay as compared to its competitors."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"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."
"SAP Analytics can be very costly to license, which can make it difficult for organizations to implement."
"Compute and storage features should be sold separately."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
