    Significant effort required for planning forms. There is no comprehensive, modern web version. Significant effort required for planning forms. Short-term planning, such as daily or weekly tasks, is difficult to map out in the Planner. Automation of Financial Closings, Valid real-time data consolidation, simplifies the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement.

    It is basically the easiest choice for people who are already running SAP ECC or S4 as their ERP as that means they can get all of the data sources automatically without mapping efforts. That compensates for some of the shortcomings mentioned earlier, and to be fair, tools from other vendors (e.g., Microsoft) have the same problem anyway.

    Same lack of industry-specific content on both, but SAP has the main advantage of direct connection to the ERP data so it saves significant efforts in comparison. Regarding dashboards look and feel and so on, it is more a matter of personal preference between PowerBi and SAP, we personally prefer SAP as it is a bit richer in ability to bring in more data and filter on it.
