Comes with good data visualization capabilities and useful for financial planning

Pros and Cons

"The product is flexible and has features like AI, link analysis, and insights. It has many features. I can search, and it creates automatic charts without selecting anything. For example, I can ask, "What is the gross margin?" the tool builds a chart based on my question."

"The connection works only for importing data. Currently, there is no real-time integration between SAP Analytics Cloud and CRM. There are some features present in the classic but not in the optimized version. If I need to create something specific, I often have to switch the versions. It would be more convenient to have a single product that incorporates all the necessary features."

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable, and it has six developer users.

How are customer service and support?

The tool's technical support is not very easy, and they tend to ask many questions, taking more time to respond and get back with another question.

How was the initial setup?

The tool's onboarding was easy and not complex. It doesn't require any maintenance.

What other advice do I have?

The solution operates in real-time, but we had an issue with it. Fortunately, the team resolved it. Usually, working with real-time or various-time connections prompts entering connection criteria like a new username and password.

It is also useful for financial planning. Additionally, I use it for costs related to time series jobs.Understanding the forecasting process can be like dealing with a black box. I recognize the need for flexible tools that allow me to choose the algorithm and see what's happening in the backend. It will help to determine whether the forecasting is working or not.

I recommend the product. It is very useful. I rate it an eight out of ten.
