Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, SAP, RapidMiner and others in Predictive Analytics."It is a comprehensive BI solution that provides reporting, planning, and predictive analytics in one solution. You don't have to buy three different products. It is very flexible. It can be implemented very quickly. It has a lot of out-of-the-box scenarios that you can use for quick deployment."
"Easy to use."
"There is a really nice insight feature that I enjoy using."
"The solution is stable."
"I like the connectivity the solution provides with other products."
"The features that I have found most valuable with SAP ERP products are their good user interface, stability, functionality, and good interface options."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Analytics Cloud is its integration with SAP."
"The visualizations have been the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is its flexibility and the ability to integrate with SAS."
"The most valuable features are forecasting and reporting."
"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."
"We are currently working on connectivity with S/4HANA, but we would like to have better connectivity with our legacy systems."
"Some of the standard visualizations, such as a speedometer or a goal chart, are not there and should be added."
"The business intelligence features should be improved because there is a lack of functionality regarding that part."
"The connection works only for importing data. Currently, there is no real-time integration between SAP Analytics Cloud and CRM. There are some features present in the classic but not in the optimized version. If I need to create something specific, I often have to switch the versions. It would be more convenient to have a single product that incorporates all the necessary features."
"Could have more tabular reporting capabilities."
"The scope is limited to a few accounts."
"SAC, which is the cloud version, lost some good features from the previous planning product, like BPC or BPS."
"I think that this solution should be more compatible with other software, including open-source solutions."
"Technical support could be improved because they take too long to answer our queries."
