We use SAC as our tool for budgeting. We decided not to move forward with a SAP BPC project and decided to implement a budgeting solution from SAC that was ready in less than 5 months. We also use SAC as our tactical reporting tool for the finance department. We are covering the commodity reporting for controlling, treasury, AP and also more innovative approaches based on rolling forecasting, predictive Ema en arios for working capital and finance war room for the CFO.

Reporting, e.g. for Financials
But we are also thinking to expand to other functional areas, including logistics/SCM.
We had a really interesting use case for identifying our exposure to operations in Russia, following the recent invasion of Ukraine. Our teams were able to come up with a report - for our Finance community - in just 1 week. A real success story for us.

I currently use SAP Analytics Cloud for planning and reporting purposes. We currently use SAP Analytics Cloud for 5 Year Planning on both an operational level and HR level. Additionally, we use it for our monthly reporting for our business partners to provide live dashboards on their current expense management.

It is a challenging product to use. First it is complicated and not intuitive. If you don't have a model in mind the tool is not going to work well no matter how well intentioned you are. That may not be SAP's fault but an important prerequisite that the marketing team ignores because they will not sell the product if that is acknowledged up front. From a business perspective, SAP is to blame even if the model is weak.
It is also very expensive, twice as much a Microsoft's visualization products. So comparing the two just for visualization, Microsoft wins hands down for cost and intuitive use. That is not a winning combination. We had to back away from the product because of thee challenges that SAP was not in a position to help us will.

I use SAP Analytics Cloud to run some of financial reports where it can be published to our team and leadership for progress and status. As a cloud solution, it easy to access and operate with consistent training provide to understand and operate. Plus, there is less issue with installing application on to our laptop.

SAC has been used for Financial dashboards as well as the SAP Control Tower, the ESG reporting solution from SAP.
From development point of view, creating a dashboard is fairly easy. Controls around accessing certain types of data are also straightforward. End-users will get a consistent look and feel between different dashboards, which is great.

We use SAC to report our Financial Statements and review the inventory subledger. The product allows use to utilize hierarchies to enhance our data and reporting. The product allows us to easily create visualizations based on models where multiple data sources are combined. The tool also integrates with Excel to allow for flexible financial reporting.
