BA Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Powerful Analytics Platform for Enterprise Reporting" July 3, 2026 4.0 SAP Analytics Cloud has proven to be a capable solution for organizations that need advanced reporting and planning capabilities. Once users become familiar with the interface, it offers reliable performance, secure data management, and flexible analytics. While the learning curve is noticeable, the platform delivers strong value for businesses already invested in the SAP ecosystem. Pros SAP Analytics Cloud combines business intelligence, planning, and predictive analytics into a single platform. The dashboards are interactive and visually appealing, making it easier to explore business performance. It integrates well with SAP products and handles large datasets efficiently once properly configured. Cons The platform can feel overwhelming for new users because of its extensive features.

Business Intelligence Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A lot of promise, little functionality" April 29, 2019 1.0 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.

Overall, SAC has been an extension of our complex SAP system, but it has been extremely useful in communicating information to key recipients in a actionable way. Pros Because we use SAC for dashboarding and data visualization purposes, I like that I am able to take advantage of the capabilities that cloud services provides while maintaining the SAP data structure. It is also valuable because it allows us to communicate the data from our highest stakeholders to our operators and allows our team view and respond to the information that is given quickly. Cons There are disadvantages to cloud services and naturally SAC is no exception, also the implementation of the system to integrate with data sources outside of SAP can be complex and require SAP contractors. SAC can also have some bugs since it is relatively new and we have had to pause our system in order to correct these errors in the past.
