Overall Satisfaction with SAP Analytics Cloud

We used Sap Analytics Cloud as a reporting tool for several IT projects. The system is very simple to use, even for end users, easy to configure and gives an excellent result in terms of user experience. The advantage of being a Software As A Service is enormous because it is available in a very short time and is scalable in size and number of users.

Pros

  • Reporting
  • Dashboarding
  • Planning
  • Mobile reporting.

Cons

  • Story translation service.
  • Static image.
  • Planning models on Excel.
  • Optimize budgeting capabilities.
  • Optimize forecasting capabilities.
  • Optimize excel integration.
Because, in my opinion, SAP Analytics Cloud ( SAC ) has a very high level of usability. Another convenience offered by SAC is access that can be done anywhere. For example, you have to work outside the office but still, need to access the SAC. As long as you have an internet connection, SAC can be fully accessed.
The two products, SAP Analytics Cloud and Microsoft PowerBI, are very similar data presentation tools. The strength of SAC SAP Analytics Cloud is in direct connections when the sources are SAP. On the other hand, Microsoft PowerBI, in its version, has strong integration with the entire Micorosft world for users.

Integrating SAP Analytics Cloud

I would rate SAP Analytics Cloud an 8 out of 10 for ease of integration. Connecting to various data sources, especially SAP systems like BW and S/4HANA, is generally straightforward. The integration process is well-documented and stable. While some non-SAP connections require more setup, overall, the platform supports seamless and efficient integration.

When integrating with SAP Analytics Cloud, start by clearly defining your data sources and business needs. Use native connectors for SAP systems like S/4HANA and BW to streamline setup. Ensure data models are clean and well-structured before integration, and involve IT and business users early to align expectations and minimize rework.
