Overall Satisfaction with SAP Analytics Cloud
SAP Analytics Cloud is used across the whole organization as our dashboarding tool for various business processes, including sales, employee efficiency, etc. Dashboard users can view results on a daily basis and they can also navigate to further data exploration to gain deeper insights about processes in the organization and take decisions for improvements,.
- Out of the box, visual elements are great, it significantly reduces formatting time and users have better experience.
- Calculations, filter application, data exploration all work really fast and smooth if compared to other tools.
- Story building is simple enough for basic users to start, yet has enough advanced functionality for more complicated dashboards.
- SAC offers many data source types to be used for data connections: universes, HANA, databases - everything that is needed.
- There are occasional random bugs, which seem to be related to performance - where your user session suddenly ends.
- Lack of UNDO button makes things more difficult.
- Users have a not so good UX with tables.
SAC definitely has better visuals and faster calculations than similar SAP products - Business Objects. Though SAC is not as mature a product as yet, and therefore BO has more functionality.
SAC offers more advanced dashboarding than Qlik and Tableau.
MS Power BI feels like a more mature product than SAC, but SAC seems to be a better solution if you already have some other SAP products. And SAC looks very good for planning solutions.
