We performed a comparison between RapidMiner and SAP Analytics Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Predictive Analytics solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Using the GUI, I can have models and algorithms drag and drop nodes."
"I like not having to write all solutions from code. Being able to drag and drop controls, enables me to focus on building the best model, without needing to search for syntax errors or extra libraries."
"The best part of RapidMiner is efficiency."
"RapidMiner for Windows is an excellent graphical tool for data science."
"The GUI capabilities of the solution are excellent. Their Auto ML model provides for even non-coder data scientists to deploy a model."
"The most valuable features are the Binary classification and Auto Model."
"Scalability is not really a concern with RapidMiner. It scales very well and can be used in global implementations."
"The documentation for this solution is very good, where each operator is explained with how to use it."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is easy to create charts with, and is a stable business intelligence platform. Easy to set up solution."
"The visualization feature is the most valuable. SAP Analytics Cloud is also very easy to use."
"We mainly use Analytics Cloud because it integrates with other SAP solutions. Our ERP is an SAP product, and our back-end is SAP Business Warehouse, so integration is an essential factor."
"It's many features make it the best in the market."
"The user interface is quite good for developing reports out of models."
"The most valuable features are the analytical application and the user story."
"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."
"Planning and integration are the most valuable features. It is useful for planning, and it is useful for integrating with on-prem or cloud SAP solutions."
"Many things in the interface look nice, but they aren't of much use to the operator. It already has lots of variables in there."
"In the Mexican or Latin American market, it's kind of pricey."
"RapidMiner isn't cheap. It's a complete solution, but it's costly."
"If they could include video tutorials, people would find that quite helpful."
"I think that they should make deep learning models easier."
"I would like to see more integration capabilities."
"I would like to see all users have access to all of the deep learning models, and that they can be used easily."
"A great product but confusing in some way with regard to the user interface and integration with other tools."
"One potential improvement is how we can transpose data. With SAP, if you have data from one system with a declared data type and a different system with another data type, the transfer is tricky."
"Could have more tabular reporting capabilities."
"I would like to see reporting to the Analytics cloud directly."
"The business intelligence features should be improved because there is a lack of functionality regarding that part."
"There is no direct connector from SAP to Redshift, so we are required to use a third-party product that was recommended by SAP."
"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."
"They need more support for more languages, Python for example."
"It still lacks a lot of functionalities as compared to other tools such as Power BI or Tableau. Sorting is not working as well as it works in Tableau. A lot of other things are also not at the same level. Their technical support is not perfect and could be better. It takes a lot of time to have lacking functionalities implemented. Its integration with the BW backend should be better. Both solutions are from the same vendor. They position SAP Analytics Cloud as a reporting tool on top of the BW environment, but the integration between both is not yet 100%. For example, user management is still not synchronized."
