Overall Satisfaction with SAP Analytics Cloud

Planning and Management Reporting. It enables us to perform integrated planning and set drivers used for both plan and actual management accounting, and reporting.

Pros

  • Driver Setting, including automation and dis-aggregation across multiple dimensions.
  • It's improved user experiences for planning users.
  • Dashboards, calculations, and allocation to enable the useful presentation of KPI's and metrics used in business decision making. They also provide for automated integration of plan versions and actual results.

Cons

  • The data connectivity needs work. We have had to use a complex BPC solution as middleware to integrate with Profitability and Performance management. There's still no direct integration with BW/4 HANA and PAPM.
  • More flexibility in setting drivers and dis-aggregating data.
  • Pricing.
It's very good for basic profitability, and spend planning. It's less well suited for detailed calculation and allocations for planning and actual data.
