SAP Analytics is a system that has been implemented throughout the company. SAP is our main system for analyzing all dynamic data in real-time with high accuracy. An important task that this tool performs in our company is that it helps us reduce costs in resources and allows us to have a very complete performance. In the time that we have been working with SAP, we have been able to obtain an excellent experience since it is a tool of very easy use but with a very complete operation for our company.
- From my professional point of view, I love the SAP interface because, apart from being very easy to work with, it has a very innovative aesthetic design.
- It has excellent data management capabilities.
- Integrates seamlessly with various commercial applications.
- It is a highly customization product to the taste of use of its user.
- Excellent support team and high availability at all times.
- SAP Analytics is available in mobile applications.
- Its integration with Oracle has certain irregularities.
- Sometimes its interface has a slow operation.
- In spite of being an easy to use software, it has complex configurations that require a lot of time to perform them correctly.
SAP Analytics Cloud is in process of being rolled out across the organization. SAP Analytics Cloud will address the business problems of timely access to information through live connections to BW/4HANA, S/4HANA and external data sources. The dashboard-style reports will provide exception-based information in a user-friendly and accessible fashion.
- Live data connections to HANA
- Easy to create simple dashboards
- Access to SAP master data and hierarchies
- Data blending with disparate data sources; improving over time
- Security model integration with SAP role based security
- Multi-key figure models for planning

SAP Analytics Cloud, the SAP child that grows and learn fast!
Currently we are using SAP Analytics Cloud in order to analyze new data and get useful insights from the financial point of business view, such as cost analysis for different business units, profitability dashboards, and later on in 2020 we will try the predictive scenarios (what-if analysis).
- It's easy to learn, construct, and communicate relevant information in a single platform.
- It's empowered FP&A users and kept IT involvement at a minimum.
- SAP and Non-SAP datasources.

A very promising solution, looking forward seeing its numberous innovations to come
It's being used:
1 - As a SAP BI consultants company, we use it to explore the functionalities and to be able to implement it for our customers
2 - As a BI tool to explore our own SAP Buniess By Design data and some Excel files (Financial data, timesheet)

2 - As a BI tool to explore our own SAP Buniess By Design data and some Excel files (Financial data, timesheet)
- Stories are quite easy to develop witout technical knowledge
- Generating a simple model is very straightforward
- Sharing and collaborating is very convenient
- Updating an existing model is very painful. It's not Agile at all since we need to rebuild it whenever we need to add a new column, for instance.
- Updating a transformation in a model lead to lose the calculated measures.
- It is not possible to update a model if a Public Dimension has been used in it.
- Comparing with other BI Solutions, I think we need more formulas in Transformations Area and Stories Developments.
Analytics Cloud is used at Cascades to address the new Cloud Eco-System offered by SAP. It is also interesting that this all in one BI Tools for all types of users allows us also to use smart technologies to gives us good insights.
- Various connections.
- Very intuitive interface.
- Smart capabilities.
- Planning and predictive features.
- Modeling is hard for end-users.
Planning and Management Reporting. It enables us to perform integrated planning and set drivers used for both plan and actual management accounting, and reporting.
- Driver Setting, including automation and dis-aggregation across multiple dimensions.
- It's improved user experiences for planning users.
- Dashboards, calculations, and allocation to enable the useful presentation of KPI's and metrics used in business decision making. They also provide for automated integration of plan versions and actual results.
- The data connectivity needs work. We have had to use a complex BPC solution as middleware to integrate with Profitability and Performance management. There's still no direct integration with BW/4 HANA and PAPM.
- More flexibility in setting drivers and dis-aggregating data.
- Pricing.
Currently, I am responsible for developing a POC on why my organization implements SAP. Our analytics platform is a bit outdated and we would like to have a more modern approach to analytics and dashboarding.
- Certain operations are very simple to do, like reference numbers on the graphs and comparisons between years.
- Visually simple and clean
- Very intuitive and quite complete in features that are most requested on our day to day.
- Lots of standard features that in other tools can only be achieved by customized actions.
- From a user experience perspective, there are some cases where there was a lag on the system and it was not clear if the operation was actually being executed or not.
- There were some little hiccups in the system which I think will be solved with some more maturity.
- Some limitations with comments on live scenarios. Can't wait for the release that will improve this.

We Have Next Level Reporting By Using Sap Analytics Cloud
In our organization a key reason to move to SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) is because you can seamlessly integrate a wide variety of cloud and on-premise data sources into one cloud solution. Our SAC demo has a live data connection that can connect to a remote system S4/HANA 1809.
- Increased analytical capabilities
- Simple use for ad hoc reports and analysis.
- Use SAP Analytics Hub as the only access point in the analysis with many sources of information
- A problem we have is split queries because the limit is 800,000 lines.
- Increase the sources of information from other databases or systems
- More clarity in the security of the system, roles and users
We currently have BO and BEx analyzer but we are planning to move to the Analytics Cloud.
- Cloud-based.
- Frequent updates.
- SAP bids and investments.
- AFO integration.
- Non-SAP sources need better and easier integration.

We have completed Analytics Cloud assessments, plan to use SAC Story to develop reports. It's easy to connect and develop reports, share with other team members. Coming to a problem - SAC Analytic Application is used to develop IT dashboards but it's missing some features compared to other tools. But we can clearly see in the SAC Road Map. And also I'd request SAP to check on SAC Analytic Application performance and improve in the release.
- SAC - in one product have all analytics applications
- SAC Analytic Application performance (SAC on BW and HANA)
POC at this time, we have a strong amount of content that will find it's way to EOL, and are looking at migration path options.
- Visualization
- What-If Analysis
- Intuitive engine for creating visualization of data
- Lack of Query/Analysis, need to include WebI into SAC.
- Unclear about Administration of content. CMC in SAC?
- Migration of Dashboard content to SAC is limited to rebuild only in new tool.
SAP Analytics Cloud is used in the organization to cater to the needs of internal customers building interactive dashboards and stories for easy decision making.
- Live connection with SAP BW in terms of performance
- Building models and transforming the data into suitable stories
- Capable of handling massive data numbers. This was not there in Lumira designer
- In terms of data dimension, it does not allow for the custom values. This needs to be corrected
- In terms of data, it does not consider the raw data while building models. It checks the integrated data which is sometimes not suitable as most of the time we have customized data sets.
Oil and gas companies are streamlining and simplifying operations by creating intelligent enterprises based on industrialized and intelligent cloud services that enable innovative technologies such as robotic process automation (RPA). Most of the analytics are run on SAP Cloud platforms.
We have leveraged these process to all our departments to get the enhanced results and automatic transformation.

Analytics Cloud improves over BO
We currently use SAP BO for most of our company reporting needs. However, we've been checking Analytics Cloud functionalities in other customers and we are very happy with its functionalities and how it breaks down the data and helps users to make better decisions. As per our initial assessment, we plan to migrate to Analytics Cloud to provide better analytics data for our company financial and sales needs.
- Simple integration with SAP.
- It's a cloud platform that provides better performance than an on-premise tool.
- High speed on data extraction and analysis.
- Licensing costs.
- Difficult integration with third-party systems.
- Dependency on SAP HANA database.
