Overall Satisfaction with SAP Analytics Cloud

It is being used for reporting the data out of our BW system. It is being used by the Finance department. It makes it very easy for users to run the reports. Being on cloud, the administration for my team is also easy. Also, the live data makes it very useful.

Pros

  • Reporting of the live data
  • Connection to the on-premise system
  • User and security administration

Cons

  • The process of connectivity
  • SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation)
The two products have different purposes.
SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation), SAP Business Warehouse, SAP HANA
When you want to use reporting on cloud without administering the system on-premise, SAP Analytics Cloud is most suited. Since the administration and security is done at the cloud, it is most suited when you want these functions on the cloud. It is not suited when the data set is very very large (in terabytes).
