SAP Analytics Cloud vs Spoom Formerly Analyza

I highly recommend SAP Analytics Cloud if your team is considering purchasing an analytics tool. Real-time data updates are essential for any reporting, and SAC is an expert in this league. Anytime is better than other analytics players, and it's good for small or large both firms.

It is well suited when you have several sources of data.

• I like how this tool provides a detailed analysis of business intelligence (BI) data that helps us during creation of multipurpose dashboards and support for our business monitoring.
• I like the in-built templetes and real-time data modelling capabilities that helps us in our business analysis and data based decisions.
• Seamless Integrations with SAP suite of applications.
• Ready to use analytics and other ML models.

• Easy to use
• Focus on analyzing and not on finding and loading data
• "One version of the truth"

• Maximizing the usage of screen real estate.
• Better performance with multiple widgets.
• Ability to handle larger volume.
• Ability to paginate charts and tables showing only top entries.
• Ability to connect stores to different data models and ability to change the source for a data model. Without this, every time the dashboard needs to be rebuilt when the backend view needs to be changed.

• I would like to have more modules. Eg. : supply chain tool.

SAP Analytical Cloud is providing all the features that I can do reports in an interactive way along with Predictive analysis. The latest updates from SAP also helps to fulfill the market needs in reporting.

SAP Analytics Cloud is user-friendly overall, but it definitely requires training on how to navigate all of the menus and how to create charts. It can be hard to remember which features are in the builder sidebar vs which features are accessed via the chart's widget itself. After using SAP Analytics Cloud regularly I have become more familiar with this but I do still wish it was consolidated into one place.

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.

Good videos and reference material available in SAP Portal.

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

SAP is a great tool which we use to analyze and forecasting future of transactions in our business. It has drastically reduced the time of analyzing huge data. Overall it's an excellent and most powerful tool for business intelligence algorithms and data visualization which is easy to use and helps in making effective decisions making.

Cognos is very expensive and needs heavy IT-team to implement it.
