- 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
SAP for Vulnerability Management.

A powerful tool for self 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.
-I appreciate the user-friendliness of the software.
-One of the best things about this is that it allows me to be efficient.It's a great tool for determining great insights and producing outputs from the dataset from the data and provide aid in decision making by making use of machine learning Algorithms.

SAP Analytics does not provide much of customization and advanced charts, if you need more customization then SAP is not effective.Also, if you are looking for a cost effective solution then SAP is not recommended.

Best Solution Provider
- 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.
SAP Analytics Cloud - Getting Better with each release but some road to go to be the leader
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.
- All in one planning and BI
- Strong integration for BW users
- Good integration
- Data Viz could be stronger
SAP customers in general
Less appropriate for non-SAP customers perhaps
