Overall Satisfaction with SAP Analytics Cloud

We bought SAC as a strategic initiative to promote enterprise reporting and leverage SAC Planning. We have PoC on SAC planning and it did well now we are evaluating this to use for our content planning. Also, we are using Analytics hub to point to legacy BOBJ reports so that users can log in with SSO to SAC and use BOBJ reports so that users can avoid login to multiple URLs.
  • SAC Planning and write back to on premise BPC version.
  • Use SAC as enterprise analytics solitons for dashboarding and analytical reporting.
  • leveraging existing BOBJ reports and creating new reports on SAC.
  • Working well for comment functionality.
  • Could do better in calculated dimensions, was not able to calculate dimension values based on condition.
  • Improve the limitations with live connection.
  • Flexibility to do Planning
  • Analytics hub is helpful to use legacy BOBJ reports
  • Helpful in interactive dash board building
Overall usability is good. Still, we are missing functionalities on the development side.
