Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I started using SAP Analytics Cloud as Inside Sales Rep at Aptive Environmental till now as [a] Transaction Coordinator in [the] Banking sector. It has equipped us with robust cloud analytics capabilities such as BI enterprise planning and augmented analytics in one central platform.

Pros and Cons

It has been effective to collect, connect, integrate and analyze data from multiple data sources to one secure platform.
With SAP Analytics Cloud, we are able to make informed decisions by allowing employees to access data on their own via self-service.
SAP Analytics Cloud offers robust data modeling and preparation capabilities that make it easy to automate data cleansing that notifies us [of] errors and duplicates.

Integrating data from on-premises data sources was tedious and overwhelming, but [the] support team both in-house and vendor helped eradicate the issue.

Return on Investment

SAP Analytics Cloud has redacted data based on the job and position of employees accessing data making it effective to safeguard company information.
With SAP Analytics Cloud, we have reduced workload by incorporating machine learning [into] BI, which improves workflow and [allows] employees to spend less time processing data.
Cost and profitability assessments via prebuilt models which are re-used in real-time.

Alternatives Considered

IBM Planning Analytics with Watson

Both Planning Analytics with Watson and Analytics Cloud are robust CPM tools offered by trustworthy vendors. However, unlike SAP Analytics Cloud, Planning Analytics with Watson [does] not allocate BI and CPM tools in a unified platform, it requires third-party applications integration to access both capabilities.

The fact that SAP offers 60 minutes [of] UI testing allowed us to ensure that we are implementing a platform that will suit our needs. It is easy to access and use any feature on SAP Analytics Cloud since it has a clean UI, unlike other competitive platforms.

Support Rating

I haven’t interacted with SAP support since our in-house support team [reaches] out to them when there is an issue. However, I am pretty sure they must be highly responsive and knowledgeable since we have never lasted with an issue for more than an hour ever since I joined Movement Bank.
