Overall Satisfaction with SAP Analytics Cloud

We focus our projects on two sides. The first main projects are about developing KPIs on HR data. The main tasks are: - Data Quality of SAP SuccessFactors client system. - a set of basic KPIs to understand the target population (Gender, Headcount, Seniority, Absenteeism, Absolute Number of new Hiring analysis, and so on) that we developed in-house - a set of custom KPI that the client ask to us. We made SAC projects on the Pharmaceutical and Fashion industries. The second main project is planning the Budget and Costs for HR movement annually.

Because with SAP Analytics Cloud, it's really easy: to create custom KPI that the client needs upon its data and use a fast Graphic library with a lot of graphs inside retrieve data from Success factors or upload it from an Excel via and create a model which builds a Story
The SAP support help me to understand how to modify a query
To retrieve data from SuccessFactors or other systems (also a simple file Excel) is really well suited. Also, it's really easy to model the data and create custom KPIs. The Graphic Window gives you a wide series of Graphs and it's easy to add it to a Story (also to change from one to another). A bad thing is the Query tool designer, sometimes it's really hard to modify a query.
