Overall Satisfaction with SAP Analytics Cloud

I currently use SAP Analytics Cloud for planning and reporting purposes. We currently use SAP Analytics Cloud for 5 Year Planning on both an operational level and HR level. Additionally, we use it for our monthly reporting for our business partners to provide live dashboards on their current expense management.

  • SAP Analytics Cloud can be daunting for new users, plus the unfamiliar user interface behind the designer panel can be daunting for new users or users who've predominantly only used one system previously.
  • The timing of how long it can take to pull reports from large data bases.
  • There is currently no line item commenting that can be done to specific measures that will remain in place. Such as Budget line item planning in BPC AO
  • Positive in the cloud based and live reporting
  • Negative in trying to push in user adoption rate
From a power user perspective, SAP Analytics Cloud is a great tool to provide the customization for reporting.
  • Cloud Solutions
  • Scalability
  • Integration with Other Systems
The main reason to chose SAP Analytics Cloud is to go after a cloud based solution with scalability. This would be our replacement for BPC AO.

No

Would you buy SAP Analytics Cloud again?

Yes

SAP Analytics Cloud is a great reporting tool and can provide a lot of added value to make decisions. This tool is powerful and the planning portion is well done especially the customization down to a user level. One of the main features that can be worrisome is the new user experience and the potential errors for disaggregation.
