Overall Satisfaction with SAP Analytics Cloud
Overall very good experience using SAP Analytics Cloud. It allows an efficient online consumption from BW which guaranties a strong data access control as it is ensured by the source system. The performance of the tool improved in the last couple of months with introduction of optimised mode. We use online consumption from BW in more than 80% of cases, which requires well performing queries. Acquisition mode is used for some use cases but data transformation capabilities are limited. We now use Data Warehouse Cloud when important transformations are needed, which works very well with SAC. Embedded planning functionalities are also a clear advantage as we use a single system for planning and reporting.
- It's a very user friendly tool with lots of in-built features like Smart Insights, Explorer View, Predictive and ML capabilities, and Forecasting.
- I believe this is the best tool for self reporting for SAP
- In-built templates, which are great for creating interactive Dashboards and Visualisations for the end users, serving them with detailed information while maintaining simplicity.
- Limitations of the number of records loaded in an Import Model. This could be improved.
- Load time for Story filters with hierarchy enabled takes some time to load.
- If SAP starts providing more out of the box dashboards and reports, it would be really great.
- Very User-friendly with SAP providing a lot of in-built features like Smart Insights, Explorer View, Predictive and ML capabilities, and Forecasting.
- SAP Analytics Cloud is particularly used for budgeting and forecasting. Besides planning, customers mainly use SAP Analytics Cloud for dashboards/scorecards , standard/enterprise reporting.

I am not directly involved in that type of discussion. However, the functionality it offers makes it worth buying. The product has a lot of features which help in reporting, dash-boarding and data visualisation.
Since we are IT software Selling organisation we need to review data of the deals that are closed new project coming so we can plan our resources. SAP Analytics helps us to analyse the data and plan our deals and projects. Obviously, there are manual decisions taken post analysis but the result it provides helps us a lot in the discussion making process.
