Overall Satisfaction with SAP Analytics Cloud

I used it in Deloitte to publish stories and analytical applications to highlight the key business indicators, charts and graphs for the Manufacturing and Finance units. I could provide a holistic as well as detailed insight on the Profit margins of the company across plants and different business units with the help of Bar charts, scatterplot charts and trend charts. The increase/decrease of profit margins could be well denoted by Numeric charts.

Pros

  • future predictions
  • Classification, Regression
  • Planning
  • write back data to source system
  • what-if analysis

Cons

  • need to integrate python scripting
  • add more features that will help in data analysis
  • integration with other data analytics tools and non-hana systems
  • increased data visibility via charts and KPIs
  • improved collaboration for different users
  • forecasting features are great
SAC has the power of forecasting and that is actually great for businesses and hence i give this rating
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Prior Experience with the Product
the planning and forecasting features made me purchase SAC
SAC is a single platform for planning , collaborating and visualisation which other reporting tools do not provide
