Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Data integration is very good.""Provides rich features for developing automated reports and dashboards.""Technical support is helpful.""All of the modules that we used to have separately in our on-premises solution are now integrated into one platform.""The Smart Predict, Smart Insights, and Smart Discovery predictive analysis features are quite good.""Real-time data makes for a single version of the truth.""The features that are most valuable in SAP Analytics Cloud are the planning feature and the predictive analytics feature, though the planning feature needs to be more efficient.""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."

"SAP Analytics Hub offers a user-friendly interface with effortless configuration, seamless updates, and real-time availability of information. It avoids the complexities associated with batch processing, providing a smooth and efficient experience.""What I like best about this solution is that it is built into the SAP line, making it easier to integrate with other SAP products.""Data consistency is also a notable feature; the system takes care of data consistency, so you don't need to handle it manually.""For report scheduling, I always prefer SAP because it has the most powerful scheduling features, like sending reports to more than 1,000 customers per day. That option is not as good in Microsoft BI and in Tableau it only exists as an add-on option.""This product provides good reports using a single pane of glass."

Cons
"Statistical analysis should be a bit more profound than it is.""The general management of this solution could be improved. The graphics or icons could also be improved to allow them to integrate with other environments on the web.""The security, authorization, and live connection to the back-office system features can be improved. A business analyst colleague who creates complex financial management reports has mentioned that he wants to see more fact and visualization features. It would be helpful to have more visualization features to be able to prepare more stories or reports for executives. For example, Tableau has some visualization features that are not present in this solution.""Pricing is fine for the BI license, but when it comes to client license, that fee is a bit high.""Sometimes we have difficulty connecting to a SharePoint list.""What could be improved in SAP Analytics Cloud is integration, particularly in terms of extracting data from the source system. Currently, its data extraction mechanism doesn't have good integration and needs improvement.""Custom visuals is another area of improvement. There are also some mobile features that are missing. There are features that aren't available on the mobile.""We are currently working on connectivity with S/4HANA, but we would like to have better connectivity with our legacy systems."

More SAP Analytics Cloud Cons →

"The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience.""Pricing and support are integrated into the system. However, the support process can be challenging, particularly when navigating the SAP support site, which lacks user-friendliness and ease of access.""The technical support for Analytics Hub is limited and could be improved.""Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub.""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."
