Considering the feedback and improvements made over time, users often rate SAP Analytics Cloud's usability in the range of 7 to 9 out of 10. Positive aspects include its integration capabilities, collaborative features, and the ability to create visually appealing dashboards. Some users, however, may note a learning curve or desire additional customization options.

In my experience, SAP Analytics Cloud stands out for its user-friendly interface, making it accessible for both technical and non-technical users through features like drag-and-drop functionality. I appreciate the emphasis on self-service analytics, allowing me to independently create reports and dashboards and fostering a more agile and user-driven analytical environment. SAC's seamless integration with various data sources, responsive design for different devices, and collaborative features enhance its overall usability in my daily tasks. The inclusion of predictive analytics and planning functionalities within the same platform adds to its versatility, enabling me to forecast trends and plan for the future. While there might be a learning curve, SAP typically provides training resources and support to help me become more familiar with SAC's features. It's worth noting that the overall usability may vary based on the complexity of tasks and specific organizational needs. For the most current information, I often refer to the latest product documentation or reach out to SAP directly.

The ticket system of SAP Analytics Cloud is quite helpful in resolving user queries and I was able to receive responses on each ticket raised, and I received swift resolution reducing my learning time considerably. SAP Analytics Cloud also commands a great user community and is very forthcoming with resolving day-to-day user related queries.

SAP Analytics is really easy to setup and it comes with not that much good UI but a decent one and easy to use User Interface thus making it more accessible and easily usable for most of employees/peoples. Anyone can start using SAP Analytics cloud by just getting nominal info and guide to use it.

While the platform itself is great, I deducted 3 points only because of the learning curve it has. A newly hired sales person finds it very tricky to navigate, and needs specialized training from team members to be able to get it up and working on their phone and see all the custom dashboards.

While SAP Analytics Cloud has amazing features, especially its use of AI and Machine Learning to provide accurate projections and predict potential outcomes, I gave it a 7/10 on usability because the environment is complicated and requires some getting used to. It also lacks customization, which is a huge downside for companies looking for flexibility in their data analytics platform.

1. Only tool with all three type of analytics wherein one can plan, predictive and check existing descriptive reports to understand status quo of business.
2. With handy prediction capabilities it has provided consultant ability to do predictive analytics without knowing technical know-how of working of backend algorithms. In case someone is well groomed in R, SAC provides integration.

SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) is generally considered user-friendly, particularly for those familiar with SAP's ecosystem. The platform incorporates modern design principles and offers a range of features for analytics and reporting. However, usability can vary based on user expertise and specific use cases.

The platform's strengths include its intuitive interface, drag-and-drop functionality, and the ability to create compelling visualizations. However, areas for improvement may include the complexity of certain advanced features and the learning curve associated with more intricate data modeling.

I like to use it and my colleagues like it as well. Requires some work to get stories on the nice level and our SAP version is not yet the best possible to get the full benefit. However, when we get our environment upgraded I'll sure retry and will get even nicer results.

SAP SAC is an excellent front end reporting tool for data from SAP sources. It provides many data management options at each SAP SAC story level, where end users can determine and customize their reporting experience. It is a challenge to get familiar with the user/interface especially where users come for long experience in excel-based tools.
