Overall Satisfaction with SAP Analytics Cloud

SAP Analytics Cloud for the past two years has enabled me to save time when enhancing enterprise planning procedures. At Techstars, we are currently using SAP Analytics Cloud across all business units to access BI, augmented analytics, enterprise planning, and predictive analytics capabilities.
  • It has been easy to explore data across all business applications to deliver deep insights with a self-service analytics portal.
  • SAP Analytics Cloud has integrated plans that link and develop operational and financial seamlessly.
  • Data cleansing automatically is another great thing about SAP Analytics Clou, which helps reduce duplicates and errors on data.
  • Customizing some features during the initial setup was hectic, but the vendor post-implementation team helped us by sending tutorials to our email which offered technical support.
  • SAP Analytics Cloud has reduced resource wastage by reusing models and use cases when analyzing data.
  • In addition, it has been effective to automate financial management by combining analytics, planning, and transactions with SAP S/4HANA.
  • With machine-generated analytics and a self-service portal, all employees even non-technical are able to visualize data.
Unlike SAP Analytics Clou, Quantrix hasn't consolidated all CPM and BI tools, which forces end-users to integrate it with external applications like IBM Planning Analytics with Watson to enjoy CPM and BI tools in one single solution.

SAP Analytics Cloud's overall usability is 10 out of 10 since it has equipped us with robust cloud analytics capabilities in one central location such as augmented analytics, predictive analytics, business intelligence, and enterprise planning.
The SAP support team is free of charge and readily available whenever in need. I have relished a lot from live agents when I was stuck during customization. The next step I'm going to do is to join SAP online communities to interact with other peers and the SAP technical team.
SAP Analytics Cloud is equipped with machine learning and natural language processing that are built-in business intelligence. Thus, SAP Analytics Cloud is best suited in tons of [scenarios] like financial planning, data modeling among other enterprise planning processes.
