Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most useful feature of SAP Analytics Cloud is planning because it helps users with making predictions and forecasts. Clients can forecast, make data allocations, and other actions. The solution is useful for planning."
"There is a really nice insight feature that I enjoy using."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Analytics Cloud is its integration with SAP."
"There is a seamless integration with SAP S4HANA which is really valuable to our organization and its functions. Since the data is stored in the same ecosystem, it creates a simple process of building dashboards, without making the process cumbersome The Analytics Cloud provides standardized templates and storage options, making it easy to plug into existing structures. We're utilizing custom stories that have already been developed, streamlining the development process. It serves as a convenient starting point and contributes to the overall ease of development. Another advantage is that it doesn't provide the same level of calculation power as Power BI and Tableau. SAP Analytics Cloud emphasizes pushing analytics back into the database, recommending data manipulation and preparation outside of the platform. This approach is seen as an advantage, as it allows for more robust data handling."
"The Smart Predict, Smart Insights, and Smart Discovery predictive analysis features are quite good."
"Data integration is very good."
"The solution is quite effective for collaborative planning."
"Offers both business intelligence as well as inbuilt AI and machine learning capabilities."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its dashboard."
"The solution’s dashboard is very good."
"Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."
"We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports."
"The data source is the most valuable feature as it can perform any function."
"I like the way I can share dashboards and embed dashboards. I normally use embedding. So, I create a dashboard, and I embed it into specific websites. Sharing of the dashboard is seamless, and it is easier than any other visualization platform, even Tableau."
"Zoho Analytics is the best software for giving reports to customers and we can create any report that is required."
"It provides insights into leads, information about the team and about various sales activities. The graphical representations in the form of charts is excellent."
"Its integration or connectivity with non-SAP systems, big data, and social media, such as YouTube, LinkedIn, et cetera, can be improved. This is where SAP has limited features as compared to other solutions."
"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."
"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."
"What could be improved in SAP Analytics Cloud is integration, particularly in terms of extracting data from the source system. Currently, its data extraction mechanism doesn't have good integration and needs improvement."
"SAP could add more templates to the platform."
"I would also like to have more advanced features for predictive analytics."
"It's lacking a bit in maturity and we find we can't run our business off it until it's improved."
"They need a better scalability rate."
"In terms of improvement, they have a limited number of graphs available in their store. They should come up with more graph style forms. They should have more charts and at the same time, you can't create panels like with Microsoft BA."
"The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support."
"They should provide white labeling with a cheaper option. I know they have a white labeling feature in which I can white label Zoho Analytics with my company theme, logo, and URL, but it seems a little expensive. If they can make it cheaper, it would be great. The same is applicable to Tableau."
"It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards."
"The hourly pricing needs improvement."
"There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics."
"This solution does not support manufacturing facilities."
"There should be more types of graphics available for use in the reports."
