Overall Satisfaction with SAP Analytics Cloud

SAP Analytics Cloud is our primary tool for business decision making. We have implemented multiple modules interlinked with each other these include cost management, Operations & risk management. Data visualization has become quite easier and the dashboards can be access restricted making it suitable for multiple levels. The suite provides a unified approach to organizational analytics.
  • Cost analysis & path charting.
  • Risk analysis & management.
  • Data visualization along with decisions & planning.
  • Product is sophisticated and requires trainings.
  • Noticeable lags between acquired & live data.
  • If we remove the limitations on the number of cells data, we get performance issues.
  • We now receive automated quarterly updates that can be shared directly with the management.
  • Easily integrates with a large number of pipelines & legacy applications.
  • Planning modules help us in decision making through decision trees & graphs.

SAP Analytics Cloud combines all aspects of out business in a single platform. Various pipelines can be clubbed and analyzed simultaneously for better decision making. Data visualization models for reporting are the cherries on top.
It might not be suitable for businesses that aren't keen on investing such a large amount for their Analytics needs as there are multiple vendors available that do it for a much lesser price, such as Zoho.
