"The most valuable features are on the application side, where you can design applications into your analytics on the platform."
"Real-time data makes for a single version of the truth."
"It is easy to integrate with SAP ERP and BW systems, allowing smooth data transfer and live connections without much development."
"It's many features make it the best in the market."
"The features that I have found most valuable with SAP ERP products are their good user interface, stability, functionality, and good interface options."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is easy to create charts with, and is a stable business intelligence platform. Easy to set up solution."
"Data discovery is very simple."
"Live Query data on demand, R and Python integration, and the ability to write HTML and JavaScript text areas are all valuable features."
"This solution allows us to integrate data from across all client departments, for effective reporting via a single dashboard."
"It's scalable."
"The solution is an affordable one."
"We used it pretty heavily in gathering data, which goes to our VPs. They are able to base their next revenue planning based on this metric. So, it has been invaluable."
"It allows users to quickly analyze data from a variety of sources and visualize it with powerful, interactive graphs, and charts."
"TIBCO Spotfire is easy to use. We initiated Spotfire as POC, with support from a tech team based in South Africa. While they assisted with the setup, we conducted the POC ourselves."
"I would like to see improved support for third-party systems, lower cost of acquisition, and better graphics and interface design."
"One area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud is incorporating Python into the coding. That functionality is available, but it's not as efficient, and it's a bit difficult sometimes to do it, so that could be improved."
"The integration with other vendors and solutions could be improved."
"I would like to see reporting to the Analytics cloud directly."
"Live Data Models are very slow and the setup can be improved, with tools such as Cloud Connector being inbuilt into SAP Analytics Cloud. Likewise, we need to write application code from scratch, rather than tweaking existing code, as we might with Excel macros. Moreover, when using responsive pages, the widgets get adjusted according to the mobile screen. As a result, when I place two or three KPI tiles, they can only be viewed tile-by-tile. We want to see the full dashboard on the mobile screen and zoom in to click on a particular section of the dashboard and go further into that. But displaying tile-by-tile makes it very annoying and the upper management using this dashboard might not be aware there are any more tiles to view."
"I expect more integration from SAP Analytics Cloud."
"The budget management could be better."
"SAP could add some more visualization features to Analytics Cloud, like charts and analytics. I would also like to see some more data cleaning and ad hoc functions added to this solution."
"The data compression has room for improvement."
"The design of the UI could be improved."
"The solution might be generic."
"We would like to see some improvement in the default properties of the solution, so that there is less need for us to spend our time coding."
"The way TIBCO Spotfire is designed, in my opinion, is the reason why it lags a bit, especially compared to other BI tools like Qlik."
"The Text Area feature needs to be more user-friendly. It is a little clunky to use, and it is difficult to consistently format text."
"The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved."
"We encountered difficulties connecting the special data sets, as the post data set did not contain any shared columns, making it difficult to establish a connection between the data sets."
