The scope of our use case for SAP Analytics Cloud is fairly broad. We use it to connect to data from a variety of sources, including our on-premises ERP system and cloud-based apps like Salesforce.

Good
We've been using SAP Analytics Cloud for about a year now, and it's been a great tool for our organization. One of the things we appreciate most is the integration with our other SAP systems, which makes it easy for us to access and analyze data from multiple sources in a single platform. The interface is also very user-friendly, and the drag-and-drop functionality makes it easy for non-technical users to create reports and charts. We've also found the planning and budgeting capabilities to be very useful, as it allows us to forecast future performance and make informed decisions about resources and investments. Overall, we've been very happy with SAP Analytics Cloud and would recommend it to other organizations.
- Predictive analytics
- Data visualization
- Integration with other SAP systems
- Customization: While SAC does offer a range of customization options, some users have reported that it can be difficult to fully customize certain aspects of the platform to meet their specific needs. Improving customization options could be an area for improvement.
- Cost: SAC is a subscription-based service that can be expensive for large organizations. While the platform does offer a range of capabilities, the cost may be a barrier for some businesses.
- Performance: Some users have reported that the platform can be slow to load, particularly when working with large datasets. Improving performance, especially when working with large amounts of data, could be an area of focus for the development team

Analysis system solution provider
Having the valuable SAP package is one of the best usage strategies that have facilitated both the implementation and the usability of the platform. It offers a fairly intuitive and integrated control panel that allows us to be one step ahead in the preventive analysis of different situations. It also allows us to develop reports with high potential, highlighting features that we could not do before. We appreciate the tools that facilitate the ability to predict, this being a basic help to improve our work. Likewise, SAP Analytics Cloud is the ideal tool to visualize all our data from a better perspective, thus saving us a lot of work time as everything is a little more automated. It is a tool that is undoubtedly easy to use and the possibility of having a much more organized platform adds value.
- 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.
- It would be ideal if it had more customization options adjusted to our work requirements.

SAP for Vulnerability Management.
As a vulnerabilities assessor, we have to deal multiple data from different sources and that where SAP analytics helps, we have number of cases which need to prepare and shows it our top management. Data exploration and Visualisation helps make it more clear and understand upcoming issues related to some specific vulnerabilities.
- Audiance based insight.
- Stories based analysis.
- Reporting
- Integration with different vulnerability management tools.

A powerful tool for self reporting
Overall very good experience using SAP Analytics Cloud. It allows an efficient online consumption from BW which guaranties a strong data access control as it is ensured by the source system. The performance of the tool improved in the last couple of months with introduction of optimised mode. We use online consumption from BW in more than 80% of cases, which requires well performing queries. Acquisition mode is used for some use cases but data transformation capabilities are limited. We now use Data Warehouse Cloud when important transformations are needed, which works very well with SAC. Embedded planning functionalities are also a clear advantage as we use a single system for planning and reporting.
- It's a very user friendly tool with lots of in-built features like Smart Insights, Explorer View, Predictive and ML capabilities, and Forecasting.
- I believe this is the best tool for self reporting for SAP
- In-built templates, which are great for creating interactive Dashboards and Visualisations for the end users, serving them with detailed information while maintaining simplicity.
- Limitations of the number of records loaded in an Import Model. This could be improved.
- Load time for Story filters with hierarchy enabled takes some time to load.
- If SAP starts providing more out of the box dashboards and reports, it would be really great.

- Support
- Some of the focus areas should be easy integration with communication platforms
- There is still some scope of UI to be more user friendly

Easily explore and play with your data with SAP analytics cloud
We were getting our data from various sources and most in raw form. Our main challenge was to find out what most keywords and entities our data contains.

Since we are growing company and we are continuously looking to expand in new territories, we needed a software which can help us in planning the sales growth.

The SAC Critic
I used it in Deloitte to publish stories and analytical applications to highlight the key business indicators, charts and graphs for the Manufacturing and Finance units. I could provide a holistic as well as detailed insight on the Profit margins of the company across plants and different business units with the help of Bar charts, scatterplot charts and trend charts. The increase/decrease of profit margins could be well denoted by Numeric charts.

- Classification, Regression

the catalog to obtain more sales, and to see whether we can obtain
better results while having any promotional event in the client's offering easily from the SAP dashboard.

A Simple Yet Powerful Platform for All Your Data Reporting Needs
In my organization, I mostly use SAP Analytics Cloud for report preparation and data visualization. It is easy to understand and user-friendly and requires no coding knowledge to get started with. Integration with MS Office makes it, even more, easier to use and the BI dashboard is just amazing. Earlier we used to rely upon power BI completely but after switching to SAP, things are more organized and the powerful features of SAP add more value to the data.
- Models of SAP Analytics Cloud make it very easy to manage accounts, organizational structure, or any other parameter efficiently to evaluate the final results.
- When it comes to configuring formulas for different accounts, SAP Analytics Cloud does it very well. It manages currency conversion tables and allocations as well.
- It allows users to have conversations throughout the application based on any element or even specific value within a cell, which allows better collaboration.
- So far, I have not observed anything that needs to be changed, however, suggestions would be provided in the future based on the team's feedback.

Best Solution Provider
My team has used both IBM Watson and the SAP Analytics Cloud but as a team member, I got some great points in my personal view of SAP Analytics Cloud as below. The first thing is it is much user interactive or, I can say too user-friendly for users. Very good solutions to create reports which most important thing in organization to analyse most of things. Good for out of the box implementation and is easy to integrate with other SAP products. I will be expecting good integration options with other organisation solutions.
- It is very interactive and user-friendly so it becomes easier to use, and work gets done so quickly.
- Another important thing is the availability of reports charts which provides great insight of the application.
- Using this application, we can create the application with our own analytics as well, which is the most liked thing.
- One thing, as mentioned, will be good if it has more integration options with other company applications.
- Expecting some more BI things to improved.
- No more improvement from my side.

Currently, we use the Business intelligence portion of SAP Analytics Cloud for data viz and reporting. It has very strong integration with our current data models in BW, which is a huge advantage to rolling out content.
Digital boardroom - we use this to combine content - I generally describe the stories as the chapters and DiBo as the book. We can plug content in as we need, which is very useful. We also see performance improvements there as we can split our content instead of having to stack pages.
We have also invested in planning and are currently in the process of scoping that for financial planning. This should be a big win for us as we will have one platform for planning and BI.

Used for business intelligence, showcasing the trends, etc., for the client. Since this is a cloud-based tool, it is the need of the hour, and as it is a product from SAP, there are hardly any issues with it. I had also used Tableau previously, but SAP Analytics Cloud seems more user-friendly. However, it will be further helpful if there is quick support with occasional issues faced.
