SAP Analytics Cloud

Pros: - Visualization,charts, story , pages

- geo maps is really great for analyzing the whole picture,

- date range filter is really great, exactly what I need,

- it is interesting work with modeler

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;

- I did not understand how to build many-to-many links between models or dimensions in one model;

- 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

2. Easy working with data visualization as for web as for mobile app

Comments: Since we started using SAP Analytics Cloud, the problems increased instead of decreasing. The experience of planning became a nightmare, where we realized that many calculations can not be made or that it is necessary to perform up to 9 calculations to obtain a result that in another tool would be obtained with one and only one calculation. In real time, the planning carried out on an excel sheet ends up being faster and easier to perform than using SAP Analytics Cloud.

Pros: Easy to use Graphics with a striking and modernist aesthetic

Cons: Constant server errors Little or no information about the errors The planning model does not allow the entry of data in calculated accounts. Which, forces the user to have "Account Plan" and "Account Import" to formulate "Consolidated Account" as "IF (version = plan, [Account Plan], [Account Import]) .This makes the planning for each account complex calculated and if there is more than one version the problem rises exponentially. Very few formulas to perform calculations Serious performance problems due to the use of Lookup formulas Some complexities must be solved with the use of script, which is not easy to learn for the end user, eliminating all automation options and returning to archaic and manual systems. Each use of srcipt must be executed with a button. However, the waiting time can not exceed 5 minutes. Otherwise, the action is not executed. I had to have 12 buttons to execute a single action.

Pros: The tool has great features like the planning menu and the easy of use interface. It's a complete tool for Business Intelligence and analytics, with beautiful views and charts.

Cons: SAP Analytics Cloud doesn't have some features that other BI tool have, for instance direct connectors with cloud data sources as Google Analytics, Facebook, etc.

The latency is also a problem for final users.

Overall: Easy of use; analytics insight; beautiful interface.

Pros: Excellent cloud analytics with live connections gives instant data fetch. User Interface is very easy to use and very easy to create financial statements.

Cons: Expensive software. And setting up for first use is difficult. I would suggest that they should have a better tutorials for beginners.

Pros: SAP makes my job easier on a daily basis by helping to manage company data. It allows me to more easily manage my analytical processing as well.

Cons: A bit complicated and definitely takes some time to learn to navigate the system.

Overall: We are able to customize the program to accurately meet our companies needs.

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.

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

Cons: I found it not very intuitive and hard to learn its quirky ways. It was difficult to use in my opinion and expensive

Pros: The graphics preview interface is very friendly.

Cons: It has support only for the United States region.

Overall: It's a BI platform that is not at a disadvantage compared to the consolidated names on the market for a variety of tools. The customization options to displaying information and graphics are visually pleasing. The SAP product platform is easily integrable, which is a big plus.

Pros: In a short time you can get applications that allow you to expand business performance without investing a lot of money in infrastructure, it adapts very well to mobile devices

Cons: A tool with few deventajas and although it is not imputable to the company requires a good internet connection for the storage of information in the cloud and ensure its optimal functioning

Overall: It allows the use of big data and machine learning for the smart development of apps and expand the capabilities of the client

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

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.

Pros: Good company and a safe bet for large corporations. Having data on the cloud makes it easy to access through other devices such as tablets in client meetings.

Cons: Steep learning curve for people new to these kinds of platforms. If you get the hang of it, it is a great way to see trends and analyze data sets through a cloud platform.

Overall: Analyze data, reveal trends, gather insights, use across platforms through the cloud.

Pros: The graphical interface is beautiful and intuitive.

Cons: The platform is slow in some moments of use.

Overall: A powerful data analysis tool with a wide variety of reporting, data collaboration, and management reporting sharing options.

Pros: I found the product super easy to use and it was fairly intuitive. I took my time going through the training resources and when I hit the wall their excellent customer support set me on the right path. It really seems that the reporting possibilities are only limited by my imagination. As an added benefit, the price is on point!

Cons: I look forward to the release of their enhanced API capabilities, I'll need this in order for the product to be fully functional for me.

Overall: It has opened my mind to the unlimited possibilities of reporting. I'm super excited and anxiously awaiting the release of your enhanced API. We will hit the ground running with you all as soon as you release it.

Overall: Self Service data and SAP live connectivity

Pros: It's based on a Cloud deployment; it allows Real-time analytics and Ad-hoc queries. It also has great Collaboration tools

Cons: Deployment is not so easy but if you have a strong SAP partener it would become a nice discover. Price is also a litle bit high

Overall: None yet.

Cons: No direct connection/Real Time support for different database .

Not much edit option at data level in BOC.More Graphical and visual appearance should be helpful. Not much user friendly.

Overall: I wouldn't use it if I didn't have to. Easier programs available

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

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

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.

Pros: the look and feel of the software, the chart selections and variety, the Speed seems to be ok, connectivities
