SAP Analytics Cloud Reviews

Pros

SAP Analytics Cloud automates the entire process of data modeling and visualization at the point of making business decisions.

Cons

Everything on SAP Analytics Cloud works perfect for me.

Pros

Because we use SAC for dashboarding and data visualization purposes, I like that I am able to take advantage of the capabilities that cloud services provides while maintaining the SAP data structure. It is also valuable because it allows us to communicate the data from our highest stakeholders to our operators and allows our team view and respond to the information that is given quickly.

Cons

There are disadvantages to cloud services and naturally SAC is no exception, also the implementation of the system to integrate with data sources outside of SAP can be complex and require SAP contractors. SAC can also have some bugs since it is relatively new and we have had to pause our system in order to correct these errors in the past.

Alternatives Considered

Salesforce Sales Cloud, Tableau and Microsoft Power BI

Reasons for Switching to SAP Analytics Cloud

Because the majority of our data collection systems and operations systems already run on the SAP environment, it was clear that the advantage would be SAC when migrating data into the cloud

Pros

SAP Analytics Cloud automates data collection, modeling, preparation and visualization from multi-cloud and on-prem data sources into one single integrated repository.

Cons

As a daily user of SAC, I lack any aspect that I feel as a drawback on this platform.

Pros

Easy to use

Graphics with a striking and modernist aesthetic

Cons

Constant server errors
Little or no information about the errors

The planning model does not allow the entry of data in calculated accounts. Which, forces the user to have "Account Plan" and "Account Import" to formulate "Consolidated Account" as "IF (version = plan, [Account Plan], [Account Import]) .This makes the planning for each account complex calculated and if there is more than one version the problem rises exponentially.

Very few formulas to perform calculations

Serious performance problems due to the use of Lookup formulas

Some complexities must be solved with the use of script, which is not easy to learn for the end user, eliminating all automation options and returning to archaic and manual systems.

Each use of srcipt must be executed with a button. However, the waiting time can not exceed 5 minutes. Otherwise, the action is not executed. I had to have 12 buttons to execute a single action.
