Easy to set up with good data integration and data virtualization
We developed the solution based on Hadoop, but using Hadoop as a relationship database, it's hard to maintain and recruit developers. There needs to be better integrations with other solutions and there need to be more tools (including virtualization tools) and utilities between this solution and Hadoop. For example, Oracle has a product called Big Data SQL and it built a bridge between Hadoop and Oracle's database to make things easier for developers. The solution needs to be more stable.

Brings reporting, planning, and prediction together in one seamless workflow
I think the areas of SAP Analytics Cloud that could be improved or enhanced are mentioned by users or companies, and they would definitely mention the price in terms of planning licensing. From a consulting point of view, I don't see any major weaknesses. It is reasonably well-developed, and the perfect strength is that innovations are coming on a quarterly basis. It is slightly behind other tools in terms of the number of graphical outputs. Some tools have it faster, but every increment of innovations contains new features. On the other hand, it is perfectly fitting to the SAP environment, with seamless integration to all SAP modules, not only ERP but also SuccessFactors and other tools from the SAP family, for example, integrated business planning for the production planning. This is really a highlight compared to other tools.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution's most valuable aspect is the fact that it is open source."
"With this product, they get all the data; it's good quality and refreshed frequently so the customer is able to pull more valuable insights for their business."
"The solution's most valuable aspects are its data integration and data virtualization."
"Moving my old BW data to SAP Business Data Cloud greatly improves my daily data operations by making them faster and easier."
"A point of differentiation in the market for Analytics Cloud compared to other analytics products, is it offers not only business intelligence within the application, but also it has inbuilt AI and machine learning capabilities that can be used not only by data scientist types in the organization, but for general users who can get the benefit of inbuilt predictive features in the tool."
"SAP Business Data Cloud has positively impacted my organization by federating SAP data, which is now available for all to use."
"The most useful feature of SAP Analytics Cloud is planning because it helps users with making predictions and forecasts. Clients can forecast, make data allocations, and other actions. The solution is useful for planning."
"In the most recent release, the schedule publication was officially updated and it's been added on MS Office 365. I like how we had an EPM for B to C perspective; it's a great enhancement. Also, I believe the B to B connectivity has been improved. Android support for mobile is really good also. Power BI has always had android support in place, so manual support for SAP Analytics Cloud is also a very good feature."
"The product's most valuable features are reporting and planning, driverless planning, business vertical-wise planning, dashboarding, forecasting tools, and business forecasting."
"Another good thing about SAP is that it has powerful tools like the SAP Data View and HANA and BO configuration, which will always give you better results with any type of data and any amount of data within a short time."
"The integration aspects between SAP and SAP Business Data Cloud are pretty good and seamless, with multiple ways to take the data that all work seamlessly, and taking data out to Azure Data Lake using premium outbound as a service and replication flows in Data Sphere is really seamless."
 

Cons

"We developed the solution based on Hadoop, but using Hadoop as a relationship database, it's hard to maintain and recruit developers."
"The solution needs to improve the functionality of the auto-deduplication."
"They lack the ability to respond to issues in a timely manner."
"We've had some issues with stability."
"In general Power BI seems to be more professional and user-friendly, it's certainly easier to find data."
"Currently, I find the DevOps features to be lacking in SAP Business Data Cloud, and I hope that upcoming versions will enhance DevOps capabilities and provide better structured and unstructured data support."
"I would prefer to see it grow more efficiently, especially the AI helper tool."
"Sometimes there are speed issues with big deletion data."
"I would like to see reporting to the Analytics cloud directly. As it is now, we can integrate text reports in Analytics Cloud, but every time we create a model then we have to design the reports."
"The connection works only for importing data. Currently, there is no real-time integration between SAP Analytics Cloud and CRM. There are some features present in the classic but not in the optimized version. If I need to create something specific, I often have to switch the versions. It would be more convenient to have a single product that incorporates all the necessary features."
"The price of SAP Analytics Cloud varies in perception among customers. Some customers say it's overpriced while others say it's reasonable; it depends on the use case and the type of customer."
"For improvement, I would like to see more customizable dashboards, better reporting flexibility, and additional automation for data management tasks in SAP Business Data Cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing of this product is reasonable."
"Its pricing is okay as compared to its competitors."
"Compute and storage features should be sold separately."
"It is not the most expensive one. You have to do the cost-of-ownership analysis and take a lot of things into consideration to come up with the conclusion that it is cheaper or not, but its price is reasonable. It provides value for money."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is a bit higher [in price]. Because, if Microsoft can afford a better product and lower cost, SAP can afford at least the same, or even lower."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is expensive. The price is a big issue if you compare it with other solutions from different vendors."
"Its price is slightly on the higher side."
"It's quite expensive and costs a lot to maintain, especially with licensing."
