As it has been released as a Beta version in the past days, I have not the chance to evaluate them together. Both products look pretty similar. I would like to use it more to see what are the main differences.

SAC BI Reporting is affordable, especially for companies with a limited IT budget. It is "easy" to integrate it with the ERP.

SAC Review from a 2-year every day user

SAC is better at performance when the data source is bigger and the volume of data is high. That is thanks to live connectivity. SAC is offering a planning version and more functionalities. SAC is offering a lot more business content in the library.

SAP Analytics Cloud is a good product with a good projection, but it is still a bit immature

For me, they are quite at the same in general terms (in terms of visualization and design). Power BI is better than SAC when it comes to maturity and integration with Microsoft softwares (Excel, PowerPoint, Azure, ...) SAC is better than Power BI in terms of connectivity to SAP sources, and in Advanced Analytics and Data insights.

SAP seems to be giving its highest focus to SAC over the Lumira suite, so we think it’s likely a better path for us to go down as we were not entrenched with other tools. SAC performance during design and consume time seems much better than our experience with Lumira.

We are system integrator partner. Customers select or evaluate business intelligence tools. We work with customers to perform proof of concept or we come with a point of view on SAC. The product is relatively new in market. With SAP ecosystem and integration capability it's good to evaluate the SAC capability and its integration with SAP Business Objects.

For example, if you wanted to understand which of your customers would respond to a marketing offer, you would need to have a response yes/no column in your dataset. This column is known as your target variable and it represents the outcome you’re trying to predict. Once you’ve selected your historical data and target variable, Smart Predict takes care of the rest.

Once your model is created, you’ll be presented with a model debrief with key information on the model accuracy, applicability to new data, key drivers, and more. At this point, you can use this version of your model to determine your predictions or make a copy and experiment by tweaking the model to drive better accuracy and/or stability.

The smart insight and smart discovery features were a big seller in addition to the predictive scenarios. In addition to that, the fact that users can write their own stories and build their own PPTs is great.

In my opinion, if your company uses most of SAP ecosystem, it is better to choose an analytical tool from SAP such as the Analytics Cloud. It will provide seamless integration with the ERP as well as a clear evolution from our BO.

Qlik Sense is too expensive, much more complicated to use for users (especially new variables or other complex calculations) and requires you to buy too many extra functionalities to have the same options as SAP Analytics Cloud can offer.

Microsoft Power BI is much cheaper and has very powerful functionality, the only problem is when your corporate data universe is SAP, you need to work much more in the connection between both systems.

SAP Analytics Cloud - The Way Forward for All SAP Reporting!!

SAP Analytics Cloud - being a cloud offering does not require any infrastructure for development of the reports and dashboards and doesn't depend on the back-end system availability for preparing a prototype. Since there is already a lot of pre-built content available, it offers a great way to look at the features and can help decide accordingly what is suited for you as per your requirement. These features are not readily available for the other mentioned on-premise platforms.
