Overall Satisfaction with SAP Analytics Cloud

SAC has been used for Financial dashboards as well as the SAP Control Tower, the ESG reporting solution from SAP.
From development point of view, creating a dashboard is fairly easy. Controls around accessing certain types of data are also straightforward. End-users will get a consistent look and feel between different dashboards, which is great.
  • Consistent look and feel, regardless of the type or content of the dashboard
  • Planning capabilities
  • the way to implement complex calculations and filtering accross tabs/tables is not intuitive in the beginning
  • Being able to use the planning capability saves at least 10% of time compared to the excel based solution. Most important is that IT does not need to be involved when changes to budgets or forcast are made.
easy to use for end-users and consistent look and feel across different dashboards.
  • Cloud Solutions
  • Ease of Use
Having a cloud solution for analytics is the way forward.
With SAC, SAP has provided a tool for building great looking dashboards with a modern interface.
SAP is committed to further invest in the development of SAC in the years to come.
