Overall Satisfaction with SAP Analytics Cloud

My organization uses SAC for various dashboarding of various reports of various teams. Usually any company generates a lot of data and my company was no exception. There is lot of data which needs to be visualized by the business for easy understanding an insights of the data. I used SAC to create various dashboards and did some data modeling on it so that business users can login and simply have a look at the data for which they are authorized.
  • Analytics
  • Visualiaazations
  • Data Modelling
  • Documentation
  • User Interface
  • Connecting to Various Data stores
  • Comparable pricing than other Dashboard tools
  • Easy to use for business people
  • Nice support from Product team
It has very good use case and is very easy to use for new comers. You can find a little documentation over the internet about how to use it but for the most part it is pretty straight forward and is easy to use. I would recommend start making basic dashboards first using a CSV file or so and then start connecting it to a real time database.
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Reputation
The most important factor for us to use Sap Analytics Cloud was the ecosystem. We had a lot of SAP products being used inside the organization and so it was easy to link them together from the support point of view and pricing as well. Other than that it has great features and simple to implement if you have little technical knowledge with you.

Sap Analytics Cloud is well suited when you have a lot of data maybe in your SQL data base which you want to visualize and draw insights from. You can then connect your database to SAC and have a cronjob set up to sync both the database and SAC to pull up data and visualise it at a timely manner.
