Overall Satisfaction with SAP Analytics Cloud

SAC is currently being used for various POCs across production, HR, and IT. The tool is helping us to investigate data for decision making as well as provide visual KPIs. Currently, IT staff has been doing most of the POC development, but we hope to use SAC for business end-user reporting as well.
  • Multiple visualization options.
  • Data insights.
  • Easy to get started with file data uploads.
  • Pixel perfect formatting is difficult.
  • Viewing all data imported in a simple tabular format is difficult for data checking.
  • The tool is in rapid flux as it’s quite new.
SAP seems to be giving its highest focus to SAC over the Lumira suite, so we think it’s likely a better path for us to go down as we were not entrenched with other tools. SAC performance during design and consume time seems much better than our experience with Lumira.
SAC is quick to get started with. It’s best suited to create visualizations to be directly consumed online. It can be used for executive dashboards, or more detailed visualizations. Likely if it’s needed to do detailed record analysis, other tools may be better suited like analysis for Excel. SAC Smart Discovery is very useful to help draw insights on data relationships that may not be known.
