Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My team has used both IBM Watson and the SAP Analytics Cloud but as a team member, I got some great points in my personal view of SAP Analytics Cloud as below. The first thing is it is much user interactive or, I can say too user-friendly for users. Very good solutions to create reports which most important thing in organization to analyse most of things. Good for out of the box implementation and is easy to integrate with other SAP products. I will be expecting good integration options with other organisation solutions.

Pros and Cons

It is very interactive and user-friendly so it becomes easier to use, and work gets done so quickly.
Another important thing is the availability of reports charts which provides great insight of the application.
Using this application, we can create the application with our own analytics as well, which is the most liked thing.

One thing, as mentioned, will be good if it has more integration options with other company applications.
Expecting some more BI things to improved.
No more improvement from my side.

Return on Investment

We succeeded to minimise the pain areas of our client
Reduced use of multiple applications and using just one so helped to minimise downtime of the system
Faced issue in integration with other vendor application

Usability

It helped us to solve many use cases very efficiently and without putting so much effort into generating intelligent and robust solutions. Very useful to manage all the users with different roles, contracts, and privilege. It is much better to handle user management in this application. Saved much time with support from SAP.

Likelihood to Recommend

We had a good experience to integrate with SharePoint, which was one of the crucial requirements in CMS to analyse the reports and some large content files. As we were on a high compliance project, so I liked the Access and Privacy model to manage all the users and temporary users in the system.
