Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, SAP, RapidMiner and others in Predictive Analytics."Its user-friendliness is valuable. It is a product for end-users and not for IT, which is an advantage."
"The new Application Design option offers lots of customization options by being able to script in Typescript (similar to Javascript)."
"Provides rich features for developing automated reports and dashboards."
"There is a really nice insight feature that I enjoy using."
"One of the most outstanding features is being able to use the dashboard with a touch screen."
"I like the product's capabilities. The clarity and scenarios are the main features that allow us to forecast using machine learning algorithms and make decisions."
"The user interface is quite good for developing reports out of models."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Analytics Cloud is its integration with SAP."
"The most valuable feature is its flexibility and the ability to integrate with SAS."
"The most valuable features are forecasting and reporting."
"The general management of this solution could be improved. The graphics or icons could also be improved to allow them to integrate with other environments on the web."
"I would also like to have more advanced features for predictive analytics."
"They need more support for more languages, Python for example."
"What should be improved in SAP Analytics Cloud is the speed of importing information and data, e.g. from SAP S/4HANA. Gathering the data from the main database takes a bit of time."
"AI doesn't work as well with SAP live connections."
"There is plenty of room for improvement. They have different products, and you need to integrate all of them to have one functionality. For example, data extraction happens in Datasphere. Then it would be best if you had some connection between the Datasphere and the SAP Analytics Cloud to get the data, as this is causing headaches sometimes. The knowledge base and Jedox also could be more meaningful. I have tried to search for some specific knowledge base and technology base, and I didn't find them. I have learned it by trial and error. There is room to improve the integrations between the different products. The AFS, and the Data action, need improvement. Sometimes they release new tools and updates, but not in my area."
"In the live connection model, we can't create calculated dimensions, however, in the import model we can create them."
"I would like to see reporting to the Analytics cloud directly."
"Technical support could be improved because they take too long to answer our queries."
"I think that this solution should be more compatible with other software, including open-source solutions."
