"It ingegrates nicely with Office 365."
"It's the analytic engine in terms of the interface on the Power BI environment, as opposed to pivot tables, and it's a mobile solution."
"I like the fact that Power BI lets me use Excel data. At least 90% of my state data is in Excel spreadsheets. Having the ability to just attach a spreadsheet as a data source is very, very important. It's also good for training and teaching. Sometimes you don't always have access to a live production database, so having a spreadsheet with sample data is always nice."
"It seems stable. I haven't heard of any difficulties from my clients that utilize Power BI."
"Key features are its dashboard functionality and ease of integration with various data sources."
"It is a good platform for data analysis, organization, and all of the other interim performances that are necessary."
"The solution's initial setup isn't too complicated."
"This product provides good reports using a single pane of glass."
"For report scheduling, I always prefer SAP because it has the most powerful scheduling features, like sending reports to more than 1,000 customers per day. That option is not as good in Microsoft BI and in Tableau it only exists as an add-on option."
"What I like best about this solution is that it is built into the SAP line, making it easier to integrate with other SAP products."
"SAP Analytics Hub offers a user-friendly interface with effortless configuration, seamless updates, and real-time availability of information. It avoids the complexities associated with batch processing, providing a smooth and efficient experience."
"Data consistency is also a notable feature; the system takes care of data consistency, so you don't need to handle it manually."
"Their technical support can be better. They normally take too long to escalate and resolve a case."
"Powerpoints are not available in the report server."
"The way you navigate the product, compared to other products in this industry, that could be improved a bit."
"The accounting data needs improvement."
"You need to purchase upgraded support separately."
"The integration in Microsoft BI could improve for other solutions, such as Oracle DB and PostgresSQL. Additionally, the reporting from the databases to Microsoft BI should be in real-time and the overall performance could be better."
"My data is restricted to my DB and I'm not sure how this would handle an extremely large dataset."
"The DAX features need some improvement. It's not as easy as Excel. They need more DAX formulas."
"Pricing and support are integrated into the system. However, the support process can be challenging, particularly when navigating the SAP support site, which lacks user-friendliness and ease of access."
"Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub."
"The technical support for Analytics Hub is limited and could be improved."
"The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience."
"The analytics part of SAP has not been that good up until now. They're still in the infant stage and development is still going on. SAP has some cloud analytics and they're trying to configure it in Lumira, but it's not that good at this point."
