Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, SAP, RapidMiner and others in Predictive Analytics."The tool's most valuable features are the BI and planning functionalities. I value being able to integrate smart planning with BI for analysis. The solution is user-friendly."
"All of the modules that we used to have separately in our on-premises solution are now integrated into one platform."
"The visualization feature is the most valuable. SAP Analytics Cloud is also very easy to use."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. We haven't tried all of the features yet. The graphing and the ease of using the analytics tools have been great. It's all drag and drop; you don't need to code anything."
"There is a really nice insight feature that I enjoy using."
"The solution is quite effective for collaborative planning."
"It is a comprehensive BI solution that provides reporting, planning, and predictive analytics in one solution. You don't have to buy three different products. It is very flexible. It can be implemented very quickly. It has a lot of out-of-the-box scenarios that you can use for quick deployment."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is its flexibility and the ability to integrate with SAS."
"The most valuable features are forecasting and reporting."
"SAP Analytics cloud needs better exporting options."
"SAP Analytics Cloud should improve the dashboard."
"The budget management could be better."
"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."
"What should be improved in SAP Analytics Cloud is the speed of importing information and data, e.g. from SAP S/4HANA. Gathering the data from the main database takes a bit of time."
"The customizations need to be better."
"I think it would be easier if there was another module created to retrieve only data."
"Sometimes there are speed issues with big deletion data."
"I think that this solution should be more compatible with other software, including open-source solutions."
