SAP Analytics Cloud is best suitable for companies using SAP S4HANA because built-in models are available to populate the data. LIVE data is synchronized to reflect real-time performance of organization and its single source of truth across the organization. Visualizations are upto the mark although learning curve is bit steep. SAP Analytics Cloud is suitable for almost all industry types supported by SAP S4HANA. We are simulating different scenarios to take better long term and tactical decisions.

  • With SAP Analytics Cloud we can have a much more organized analysis process, which gives us the advantage of being able to have a better-planned system that will give us cleaner and clearer results.
  • The platform as such is easy to use. It is not necessary to know millions of codes to understand how to configure it or how to put its tools to use.
  • It has a unique space for labor unification, which allows collaborative work and interaction between team members as they interact in the different cells to make work more dynamic and efficient.
  • It takes all the information intelligently and facilitates the preparation of reports, always being precise and helping us to always be one step ahead thanks to the predictions it offers.

Cons
Course5 Intelligence
  • I do wish there was a feature that keeps a dynamic list of company benchmarks that update in real-time and use that to be a comparison goal line in metrics.
  • Some of the SQL syntax highlighting/auto-completion will not work.
  • Sometimes text widgets will just "disappear" after I have dragged them onto the canvas.

Since the implementation stage, the support team has been very helpful and assisting. Even in the later stages, the tech team had quite a rapid response. In general, SAP has provided us with great customer support, let it be for a specific product of SAP or for integration of different modules.

SAC is a simple solution ad it works fine when connecting it to other SAP tools. On the other hand, connecting it to third party solutions brings difficulties when there's no previous design and the objetives are not clear. It is really important to integrate Business users from the start to provide with valuable business insights

Service Now governance risk and compliance suite, ServiceNow vulnerability management suite, or Other vulnerability management tools like Qualys, InsightSecCloud, or Tenable have specific cases to create and evaluate, but what we want is to change every day with vulnerability and product because some vulnerabilities really impact us and some are like nothing so dealing it with great analytics are good to have.
