Overall Satisfaction with SAP Analytics Cloud

SAP Analytics Cloud is in process of being rolled out across the organization. SAP Analytics Cloud will address the business problems of timely access to information through live connections to BW/4HANA, S/4HANA and external data sources. The dashboard-style reports will provide exception-based information in a user-friendly and accessible fashion.
  • Live data connections to HANA
  • Easy to create simple dashboards
  • Access to SAP master data and hierarchies
  • Data blending with disparate data sources; improving over time
  • Security model integration with SAP role based security
  • Multi-key figure models for planning
Compared with PowerBI, SAP Analytics Cloud looks better and integrates much better with SAP data.
SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation), SAP Business Warehouse
It is well-suited for executive-style dashboards and summaries of department activities.
