SAP Analytics Cloud Reviews

We are a consultant, so we build solutions for customers. Some of their use cases are for dashboarding, business intelligence, predictive capabilities, and planning.

I like the predictive features of SAP. It's an easy to use tool for an end-user.

You don't need a lot of technical knowledge to use the product and it is very easy to learn and easy to use. It gives you flexibility in designing your own dashboard with its new analytics designer.

These are new features that they implemented three or so months back. It provides you the ability to design your own dashboards with more flexibility and it opens more opportunities as well.

Pricing is fine for the BI license, but when it comes to client license, that fee is a bit high.

I have been using SAP Cloud Platform for the past year and a half. 

The initial setup is straightforward. 

I would rate it an eight out of ten. 

Sometimes it has less flexibility when doing something. You can only do with what is available in SAP. We can't double up anything in SAP. I would take off two points for that. 

We use it for all our reporting right now. Everything is happening in SAP, and all dashboards are there, and all data comes through in real-time. We have thought management there, and Azure Operations Management is dependent upon SAP.

It's so user-friendly. The configuration is done by the user, not by an IP or anybody. It's also very flexible.

I would like to have some functionality when they have a live connection with our BW. Some of the functionalities SAP promotes, like integration, aren't available to me. I would also like to have more advanced features for predictive analytics.

We have been using SAP Analytics Cloud for a few months.

I'm not satisfied with technical support because they're taking some time. Sometimes I think they could be faster.

It's cloud-based, and no installation is required. Deployment time and the number of personnel largely depends on the project. The implementation time was less than three months, and I think it was quite easy.

I think we have 50 active licenses. Right now, I think it's okay, and it's fine for us. It's not that costly as such for the time being.

I would recommend this product to potential customers.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give SAP Analytics Cloud an eight.

I am an SAP consultant and Analytics Cloud is one of the products that I work with. It is used for business intelligence and planning.

The planning functionality is good.

The business intelligence features should be improved because there is a lack of functionality regarding that part.

I have been working with SAP Analytics Cloud for one year.

The stability is good.

Scalability-wise, this is a good product.

The technical support from SAP is average.

The initial setup is not complex. However, the length of time required for deployment depends on the project, and what you have in the project's scope. It can take days or it can take months.

We implement this product for our clients.

The BI capabilities are not competitive when compared with other BI tools.

My advice for anybody who is looking into implementing this product is to enlist the help of consultants to get started. This is the service that my company offers.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We are using it for enterprise-wide analytics. We have on-prem as well as cloud deployments.

Planning and integration are the most valuable features. It is useful for planning, and it is useful for integrating with on-prem or cloud SAP solutions. 

Its integration or connectivity with non-SAP systems, big data, and social media, such as YouTube, LinkedIn, et cetera, can be improved. This is where SAP has limited features as compared to other solutions.

There is very little documentation. They could provide additional training and resources.

I have been using SAP Analytics Cloud for the last two years, but overall, I have been using analytics for the last 15 years.

We found it to be pretty stable over the last two years.

We hope so. We have not reached a level to be able to say how good it is and how quickly scalable it is, but we believe that it would be scalable. I do not have a proof point to say that it is 100% scalable.

So far, we've been able to resolve most of the issues on our own. Their support is average. It is not great, but it is also not bad.

Its setup is easy.

Its price is slightly on the higher side.

I would rate it a seven out of 10.

The solution is good for handling projects via dashboards for finishing projects and understanding budgets (if we're over or not), financials, working capital, et cetera.

If you need to give a chart for training for sales, you can show profits for the company. You can use it for smart discovery and for using data to search and give you more date information about the data and what happened when.

The pricing is decent.

The onboarding process is pretty good. 

It offers good backup capabilities. 

The solution is stable.

The scalability is there if you need it.

Technical support could be more helpful and responsive. 

We've been using the solution for six years. 

The product is stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The solution is scalable and easy to expand.

While technical support is okay, sometimes it takes a bit too long to get help when you open a ticket.

It's easy to onboard users at the outset.

It's a good investment. 

The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive. 

That said, sometimes I only need to deploy one user and it's expensive. You need to buy it in bulk, for maybe five users or more. 

We are an implementor. 

We are using the latest version of the solution.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten.

All our customers are using SAP Analytics Cloud for reporting purposes and data analytics. They have their data in different databases, and with SAP Analytics Cloud, we are unifying and providing reports using SAP Analytics Cloud and data spheres.

In SAP Analytics Cloud, there is a functionality called the best practice reports. SAP provides pre-built reports for certain functions and certain modules. For example, for SuccessFactors and S/4HANA Cloud, there are pre-built reports available which are commonly used by customers. This functionality is very useful, as once connectivity is done, it allows users to easily populate data and generate reports from the system out-of-the-box.

Documentation-wise, we see some gaps when trying to connect different solutions. Some generic documents are available, but the steps maintained are not accurate. There is room for improvement in documentation.

I have been working with SAP Analytics Cloud for around six months.

We faced some complexity during deployment due to the predictive analytics feature. When initial login is given, and predictive analytics is enabled from SAP for me, if done with two different IDs, then two instances are created. This is not documented, and we had to go back and forth with SAP to resolve it.

I would rate the stability of SAP Analytics Cloud around eight on a scale of one to ten.

SAP Analytics Cloud is scalable. I would rate its scalability up to nine on a scale of one to ten.

We are satisfied with the technical support from SAP because when we reached out, we were able to get very good support from SAP colleagues.

Positive

I normally do not deal with the commercials, so I am not aware of the pricing part of it.

From a client perspective, there are different competitors. Some customers compare SAP Analytics Cloud with Microsoft Power BI. However, it's important to compare features like-for-like as they have different versions and features.

At the moment, I would rate SAP Analytics Cloud between seven to eight, so we'll put it as seven, allowing some small gap for improvement. I rate the overall solution a 7 out of 10.
