"The notebook feature is an improvement over RStudio."
"It helped us find find the optimal area for where our warehouse should be located."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its cloud-based nature, allowing accessibility from anywhere. Additionally, using Jupyter Notebook makes it easy to handle bugs and errors."
"The solution is stable."
"With Anaconda Navigator, we have been able to use multiple IDEs such as JupyterLab, Jupyter Notebook, Spyder, Visual Studio Code, and RStudio in one place. The platform-agnostic package manager, "Conda", makes life easy when it comes to managing and installing packages."
"I can use Anaconda for non-heavy tasks."
"It has a lot of functionality available, supports many libraries, and the developers are continually improving it."
"Considering the reporting part, I rate the tool a nine out of ten."
"Easy to use."
"One of the most outstanding features is being able to use the dashboard with a touch screen."
"The stories have really been helpful in looking at specific scenarios and analyzing trends over periods of time."
"It's easy to connect Analytics Cloud with other SAP solutions, and it's also effortless to deploy. You don't need much technical skill to set it up. It's as easy as setting up a tablet. I said tablet before. It's very easy to actually set up."
"One feature I've found most valuable is discovery."
"Planning and integration are the most valuable features. It is useful for planning, and it is useful for integrating with on-prem or cloud SAP solutions."
"We mainly use Analytics Cloud because it integrates with other SAP solutions. Our ERP is an SAP product, and our back-end is SAP Business Warehouse, so integration is an essential factor."
"Anaconda should be optimized for RAM consumption."
"I think better documentation or a step-by-step guide for installation would help, especially for on-premise users."
"I think that the framework can be improved to make it easier for people to discover and use things on their own."
"The solution would benefit from offering more automation."
"The interface could be improved. Other solutions, like Visual Studio, have much better UI."
"It crashes once in a while. In case of a reboot or something unexpected, the unseen code part will get diminished, and it relatively takes longer than other applications when a reboot is happening. They can improve in these areas. They can also bring some database software. They have software for analytics and virtualization. However, they don't have any software for the database."
"One feature that I would like to see is being able to use a different language in a different cell, which would allow me to mix R and Python together."
"When you install Anaconda for the first time, it's really difficult to update it."
"The security, authorization, and live connection to the back-office system features can be improved. A business analyst colleague who creates complex financial management reports has mentioned that he wants to see more fact and visualization features. It would be helpful to have more visualization features to be able to prepare more stories or reports for executives. For example, Tableau has some visualization features that are not present in this solution."
"SAC, which is the cloud version, lost some good features from the previous planning product, like BPC or BPS."
"Some algorithms are complex and can't be processed by just tagging the data and expecting results."
"AI doesn't work as well with SAP live connections."
"The price, integration, and modeling capabilities could be better. I have to use an integration engine to integrate our products and databases. SAP Analytics Cloud is made specifically for KPIs and business intelligence. The modeling capabilities are kind of poor. You always have to model the data and then present it visually in SAP Analytics Cloud. In the next release, I would like to have a lite version for planning to create scenarios quickly. For me personally, planning is the most complicated feature of SAP Analytics Cloud."
"The business intelligence features should be improved because there is a lack of functionality regarding that part."
"The integration with other vendors and solutions could be improved."
"The budget management could be better."
