SAP Analytics Cloud is great for big companies that want advanced data analysis and planning, especially when they need to work together in real-time or when people need to access data on their phones. It's like a super tool for predicting future trends in industries like retail or finance. SAC also works well for companies that use different types of computer systems because it can easily connect them. But, for small businesses that only need basic reports or don't have a lot of technical resources, a simpler tool might be better. If a company doesn't always have a good internet connection or if they're just starting with analytics, there might be other tools that work better.

Being a cloud-based product, SAP Analytics Cloud offers flexibility to access analytics remotely. It integrates seamlessly with other SAP products, ensuring smooth operation. Once the users get past the learning curve, using SAP Analytics Cloud becomes easy and efficient for technical as well as non-technical users. However, it needs better customization for business needs to be able to help small and medium sized businesses. Could be an cost-intensive option for small firms as the software considering its dependence on other SAP products. Overall, SAP Analytics Cloud comes highly recommended for being an intuitive interface.

Dashboard and update information is so important to drive our decision based on facts, this is important to save, time money and improdutivo meeting without any data or decision to make. sometimes the dashboard update is so slow and require a minimal logic to get the information that we need to our business.

If you want to track your organizations performance live on regular basis and needs good analytics option you should try this out, it's easy to implement, cost friendly and you can almost track all of organizations processes from just a single place but if there's more team work required on analysis in your organization or you're looking for more collaborative tool with better support it will not work that much good for your usecase.

Well suited for distributed access control wherein you need to give a dashboard to individual sales team members, especially for target vs achievement incentivization schemes. The team can see live tracking data on top of custom dashboard to monitor & act at all times.
It is less appropriate for custom querying and aggregation.

SAP Analytics Cloud is well suited in large companies that require input from across departments and markets to create accurate financial plans. Its AI and machine learning features are particularly helpful in making accurate projections. It is also handy if you have to collaborate with colleagues around the world in real-time. However, it would not be appropriate for small or mid-sized companies considering that its full features are unlocked only with other SAP products.

SAP Analytics Cloud is well suited for creating dashboards, charts, and graphs which helps in understanding trends and forecast and helpful in sorting out data from number of data at a time. Sometime for users with less experience can be hard to understand the interface.

For an organization spread across globe SAC comes in handy as it has capabilities to represent data of all countries on Global Map using Geo-Spatial points. Even business users can drill down to the lowest possible level maintained in hierarchal structure. SAC has built-in capabilities for currency translation which further enriches two show data in single global currency for ease of comparative analysis for different regions.
SAC is very well suited for planning budget & forecast scenarios for companies' financial needs. SAC is the only tool having all three different type of Analytics i.e. Descriptive, Predictive & Prescriptive analysis. SAC has an inbuilt R Server and also supports R integration with external server for more of predictive analysis and superb visuals. The same story can be seen in desktop, laptop including mobiles & tab so no extra work for getting reports on mobile except for API integration. SAC supports importing data from non-SAP environments and provides seamless live connectivity to SAP HANA cloud systems.

SAC will not be that useful where more of operation reporting is required though it is capable of providing Excel-like interface with similar functionalities.

Based on experience, this is really helpful for study any data, analysis of data with great reporting.
Large scale organization can afford the pricing as it is on higher side.
with huge volume of data slowness is the issue so, need to consider volume till the time this issue gets resolved.

SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) excels in scenarios where organizations require comprehensive analytics and reporting capabilities across various business functions. For instance, in financial planning and analysis, SAC's robust data modeling and visualization features enable finance teams to create dynamic dashboards, perform scenario analysis, and generate insightful reports for strategic decision-making. Additionally, SAC is well-suited for executive-level reporting, offering intuitive and visually appealing presentations that provide leaders with a consolidated view of key performance indicators. In sales and marketing, SAC's ability to integrate data from multiple sources facilitates in-depth analysis of sales trends, customer behavior, and campaign effectiveness, empowering teams to make data-driven decisions. Moreover, SAC's collaborative features make it suitable for cross-functional teams, fostering communication and knowledge-sharing through interactive data exploration.

Well suited :
If working with large organisation and multiple roles it make more simple and easy to acess data. As the data is at one place one can access as per need and make contribution to organisation. To manage whole data modeling and data processing tools present at one place , so it is one stop solution to mange data

Less Appropriate:
It is still littel less user frindly. So one need to train for using tool. And in graphical representaion it should be more interactive and colurful.

While reporting on SAP data sources, SAP Analytics Cloud is one of the best solutions available. Also SAP SAC offers wide range of visualization options and ease of use for business users. With access and roles being the same as in the underlying SAP systems, it also becomes very seamless to maintain access control.
