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

"The best features SAP Business Data Cloud offers that stand out most include having all the data in one place, which is a significant advantage."
"One feature I've found most valuable is discovery."
"The solution is stable."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is a very good tool, the feature that's most useful for me is the reporting as it can be done via Google Chrome, and the solution is also very nice, user-friendly, and easy to build, making it very easy to use the features of SAP Analytics Cloud."
"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 Smart Predict, Smart Insights, and Smart Discovery predictive analysis features are quite good."
"I strongly recommend this particular product because whatever I do in multiple tools, in reporting or dashboarding, for example, I carry out a planning process where everything is integrated, so I strongly recommend SAP."
"In my opinion, it is good for analytics. Everything is in the cloud."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
"It's easy to manage and supports the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
 

Cons

"This is not a very stable product."
"Improvement could be made in the pricing of the product which is very expensive, more than Oracle and Power BI and similar solutions."
"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."
"Technical support could be more helpful and responsive."
"Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub."
"It still lacks a lot of functionalities as compared to other tools such as Power BI or Tableau. Sorting is not working as well as it works in Tableau. A lot of other things are also not at the same level. Their technical support is not perfect and could be better. It takes a lot of time to have lacking functionalities implemented. Its integration with the BW backend should be better. Both solutions are from the same vendor. They position SAP Analytics Cloud as a reporting tool on top of the BW environment, but the integration between both is not yet 100%. For example, user management is still not synchronized."
"The integration with other vendors and solutions could be improved."
"Pricing is an area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud, apart from exporting."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"It's quite expensive and costs a lot to maintain, especially with licensing."
"SAP pricing tends to be premium, so it is slightly higher."
"This solution is pricey."
"SAP Analytics Cloud can be quite expensive."
"The pricing is based on an annual license and is rated a four out of ten."
"This solution offers value for money and you get what you pay for."
"SAP Analytics can be very costly to license, which can make it difficult for organizations to implement."
