"Instead of taking two people a week each month to perform our internal KPI reporting, the same two people can have it done in a day."
"The ability to do write back and visualization, with minimal IT development orientation."
"The most valuable features are the reporting and the charts. The reporting functionality is handy for aggregation, when it comes to planning. That ability is fascinating and our users are very happy with it. The charts and the reporting allow our users to see all the data and to see how things are going this year or in the COVID situation. They're seeing everything. Instead of having to check data line by line, they're seeing it in a graph and they're seeing it in charts."
"With the combination of 24/7 global support and their community, there was great customer service, tech support, and community support."
"It's so user-friendly."
"The user interface is quite good for developing reports out of models."
"It is scalable."
"The visualization feature is the most valuable. SAP Analytics Cloud is also very easy to use."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is very easy to use, and you don't require much technology. It has a very good library and analytics. It is easy to configure and offers good visualization."

"We have had some challenges with newer version of the rollout in terms of stability."
"It would be nice to have more connectors for other data sources. BOARD is a great tool to become the single source of the truth. Making it easier to connect data sources for niche software tools will make it easier to keep everything in one place."
"The engine of the Board should be made powerful like the engine of IBM planning which is more powerful in terms of performance. The consolidated finance area also needs improvement."

"The solution should include other scripting languages as well, such as Python."
"I would like to see reporting to the Analytics cloud directly."

"It should have the flexibility for scoping the story and models. When you use it in a three-layer architecture, you struggle with the fact that you usually have just one SAP Analytics Cloud tenant, and you have to switch the connections, which might be an issue for bigger developments. For the development role, there should be an option to switch between development and production scenarios."
"I expect more integration from SAP Analytics Cloud."
"The customizations need to be better."
"SAP Analytics cloud needs better exporting options."
"I think it would be easier if there was another module created to retrieve only data."
