Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, SAP, RapidMiner and others in Predictive Analytics."One of the most outstanding features is being able to use the dashboard with a touch screen."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The most valuable feature of the tool is machine learning."
"Visualization is quite seamless and awesome. Once the data messaging is set up, it's straightforward and simple to select how it should be displayed. So, that's another advantage of SAP."
"The reporting, dashboards, KPIs, and visualization are the most valuable."
"The ability to collaborate and plan together is great."
"It is scalable."
"I would recommend this solution for companies that are SAP dependent with users working in this environment."
"The most valuable features are forecasting and reporting."
"The most valuable feature is its flexibility and the ability to integrate with SAS."
"SAC, which is the cloud version, lost some good features from the previous planning product, like BPC or BPS."
"There is no direct connector from SAP to Redshift, so we are required to use a third-party product that was recommended by SAP."
"The scope is limited to a few accounts."
"Could be more user-friendly; somewhat complicated to use."
"SAP could add some more visualization features to Analytics Cloud, like charts and analytics. I would also like to see some more data cleaning and ad hoc functions added to this solution."
"The price, integration, and modeling capabilities could be better. I have to use an integration engine to integrate our products and databases. SAP Analytics Cloud is made specifically for KPIs and business intelligence. The modeling capabilities are kind of poor. You always have to model the data and then present it visually in SAP Analytics Cloud. In the next release, I would like to have a lite version for planning to create scenarios quickly. For me personally, planning is the most complicated feature of SAP Analytics Cloud."
"The solution should include other scripting languages as well, such as Python."
"The integration with other vendors and solutions could be improved."
"Technical support could be improved because they take too long to answer our queries."
"I think that this solution should be more compatible with other software, including open-source solutions."
