Overall Satisfaction with SAP Analytics Cloud

SAP Analytics Cloud is being used for reporting and planning at my company. We bring in SAP and non-SAP data and report on it. In planning, we find it challenging to implement complex logic that is there in BPC and data access security. We implemented the classic model when SAP Analytics Cloud was released, and now it is challenging to move from the classic model to the advanced model. Usage statistics reports delivered by SAP Analytics Cloud are not working, and SAP is working on this. We had challenges scheduling jobs and maintaining connections as only the owner of the jobs can schedule the jobs. If the passwords expire, jobs would start failing, and others do not have the ability to run the jobs, and in production, this is a risk.
  • Supports multiple data bases
  • Dashboard and story creation is intuitive
  • Security design
  • Connection and job scheduling maintenance
  • As this is still evolving, challenging to customers to go-live with limited functionality
As this is still evolving.
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
  • Prior Experience with the Product
As planning licenses are very expensive, use cases and user population needs to be restricted based on business needs.
