It's good for a small amount of data already aggregated or with a small number of dimensions or when the model in the backend is already a keyfigures model.
Not good for a big Finance landscape based on accounts definitions, where dimensions and details levels go to accounts. This will include that import connection will be challenging due to the number of records and limitations in the import.

SAC - The enigma

I believe its adaptability as an alternative to BPC 11 for Planning is really good as it can easily integrate with SAP applications SAP needs to create a simplified way for integrating non-SAP platforms into SAC. SAP needs to create a good learning path made available for clients embarking on their SAC journey. There are not many resources available in the market that know SAC well, and for the end client, it becomes a frustrating experience to provide value for money.

Well-suited business cases are Management based reporting with a lot of pages, KPIs, dashboards, graphical objects like charts, small tables, simple input controls, etc. Less appropriate business cases are always twisting around some specific group of users, like Controllers that still very rely on Excel reporting with its functionalities.

SAC - A smart solution

In my opinion the SAP Analytics Cloud Stories part have less flexible option to end users to do analysis. Also if some features are not available in story we have to recreate the entire dashboard in Analytical application which is a wast of time for a developer. We we have a toggle where we can switch between story and application it will be easier to work with the tool.

Majorly depends on the requirements of clients. We also take it forward from our end whenever we see any opportunity gap where SAP Analytics Cloud can fulfill that gap. It is quite competitive when it comes to data exploration and visualization as well as modeling-related stuff, predictive planning, extended planning, and analysis.

SAP analytics is best suited to help different business requirements and quickly reaching a crisp analysis where a specialised and formatted data is required. Given the data availability for quick analysis and quicker deployments, it eases out the process to convert this data into meaningful insights and thus providing timely solutions.

SAP Analytics Cloud is well suited when you need a very fast reporting system where is present an easy-to-understand interface that makes it easy for users. Users will like something that is visually good. So that people will not be lazy when they have to deal with SAC every time. Well, things like this are understood by SAC so that they prepare the appearance of the application as attractive and easy as possible.

It is well suited to present all the different information in a single dashboard where you can manipulate data as you like using Scripting. Linked feature to filter different charts from the dimension you choose. A few missing features, like Mobile, enable optimization for the application giving less preference to use the dashboard by business users. Dropdowns and single selections from stories will give good visualization insights to the dashboard.

Sap Analytics Cloud is well suited when you have a lot of data maybe in your SQL data base which you want to visualize and draw insights from. You can then connect your database to SAC and have a cronjob set up to sync both the database and SAC to pull up data and visualise it at a timely manner.

the SAP Analytics Cloud is very user-friendly and has a great user interface. Furthermore, permissions can be queried in stories and models. This allows users and developers to work together in an agile manner and create stories and models based on live data. The new model and story are very clear and can be used by modelers

What I like the most it's live connectivity with SAP with the real-time data update which is an essential feature for our business. I like the simplicity of the story's and the ease of building it. I also like how this tool connect with different data sources and it's compatible with all SAP Data Source and establishing a Live Data Connection which is very easy to use.
