Likely Extremely
Likely

All of your data, all in one place

Likely Extremely

Pros: What an amazing tool for anyone running SAP and integrations. I am able to pull my CRM Data and my SAP data cleanly together and report on it with amazing precision. The graphs look fantastic as well! Loads of functions and different ways to show and slice your data.
Cons: It is a bit much to setup when dealing with integration points, but show me an Analytics tool that doesn't. Stellar for the price as well.
I evaluated this software asked by a client

Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: Well, it certainly has many features. I like that it can grow with a company, and allow companies to add extra features as needed

SAP Review


Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: It is a easy software to work on and place customer's information for a purchase.
Cons: Sometimes while working you will find issues with SAP. Sometimes you will be working and automatically it will log you off due to an Error. I have lost time in working and before saving SAP presented me an error and my information was deleted. So I would need to start over again.
Overall: SAP helps me to process customer's orders for books. I need to place customer's Sold To, Ship To address, and item information. Sometimes SAP has presented several problems.
Working on Analytics Cloud is very slow. Poor Performance. Loading 7k rows took multiple attempts

Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: Drag and Drop feature, All Inbuilt Algorithms, ease of using ESRI and hence the geo co-ordinates, Ease of Building a Story or a Data model
Cons: Poor Performance. Loading 7k rows took multiple attempts. Also when a filter is used on this 7k records, the time for update the Dashboard is not that impressive
Overall: Analytics is one where this would be useful. The Dashboards and story line building would help in making an informed decision

Hi VenuGopala,
We¿re glad you¿re enjoying the product. We¿ll definitely look into this a little further. If you could please email us at sapanalyticscloud.cx@sap.com, we¿d be happy to look at this issue with you.
Thanks,

Powerful, interactive, user friendly.

Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: For me, it has to be the graphical aspect. The ability to upload a file with 1000's of values and then piece by piece build a story to bring the data to life. The geo location functionality is also excellent and the tool is definitely user friendly - the hints that pop up are very useful.
Cons: Using the software on the free trial I've not noticed anything that I dislike. Maybe the geo location by region could be extended to other regions outside of the USA... I understand you can use coordinates for this but it would be good to have the same option for Europe.

Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: The program integrates with the SAP ERP software.
Cons: Understanding the analytics features can be difficult.

SAP


Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: Good for reporting, for the management team.
Cons: Not easy to learn or use. Seems like its from back in the 90's.
Overall: I wouldn't use it if I didn't have to. Easier programs available
THE APPLICATION IS GOOD, BUT THERE ARE THINGS TO BE CORRECTED

Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: Good tool to have commercial information available from anywhere
Cons: I am testing the app with sales orders. The main drawback is that the formatted searches do not work in the app, there are several user fields that have to be completed in the order and filled with the formatted searches, but these do not work
SAP did not leave a good taste in my mouth

Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: the application is good, although there are things to be corrected, for example, in the version Crystal reports if you run parameters, however in the app does not allow the execution of parameters, should put both versions on par
Cons: the SBO customizations do not work as well in the application
Great product but not for non-analysts

Likely Extremely
Likely
Pros: I love that it's backed by SAP HANA and sits in the cloud. It makes it easy to do analytics from different laptops/computers and share results among a distributed team.
Cons: Not being able to share links with external individuals without naming them as a user. That's something offered by Adobe Creative Cloud and Office 365 and was hopeful SAP would offer it too.

I try only free version so many features I did not have possibility to try.
Cons: - Only USA States supporting in geo region;
- only 256 symbols for string value in model is too small, I have really large field;

- how to add dimension with few value for one model ID or put measure as distinct value;
- it would be great if table in story has expand and collapse function,
Overall: 1. Visualization of data

Hi Iryna,
Thanks for your feedback! We appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts with us, it helps us to keep working hard for our customers.
Regarding some of your questions:
- To create hierarchies or links between dimensions in one model, please watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tgTJB3kOGw&index=113&list=PLs5htBIwERYWSixKSqQHzndop33aBCz1U
Creating hierarchies will help to expand or collapse the information on the tables in your story.
- Regarding dimensions, you can create a public dimension that later on you can use with another model.
Thanks!
