Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, SAP, RapidMiner and others in Predictive Analytics."We especially like the initial part of feature engineering, because feature engineering is included in most engines, but DataRobot has an excellent way of picking up the right features."
"DataRobot can be easy to use."
"It's easy to do MLOps operations. It's a lot easier to manage jobs and see the logs if there's any drift in a model."
"The visualization feature is the most valuable. SAP Analytics Cloud is also very easy to use."
"There is a really nice insight feature that I enjoy using."
"The stories have really been helpful in looking at specific scenarios and analyzing trends over periods of time."
"I would recommend this solution for companies that are SAP dependent with users working in this environment."
"It is easy to integrate with SAP ERP and BW systems, allowing smooth data transfer and live connections without much development."
"What my customers like best about SAP Analytics Cloud is the dashboard because it's pretty good."
"It's so user-friendly."
"One feature I've found most valuable is discovery."
"If we could include our existing Python or R code in DataRobot, we could make it even better. The DataRobot that we have is specific to an industry, but most of the time we would have our own algorithms, which are specific to our own use case. If we had a way by which we could integrate our proprietary things into DataRobot with a simple integration, it would help us a lot."
"The business departments will love to work with DataRobot because they use the tool to investigate their data, such as targeting what they want to investigate. They don't need any data scientists near them. They can investigate at eye level and bring into the BI tool, or can bring it to the data scientist. Data scientists can use this tool to bring increase the solution to the maximum. All the others can use it, but not to the maximum."
"Generative AI has taken pace, and I would like to see how DataRobot assists in doing generative AI and large language models."
"Could be more user-friendly; somewhat complicated to use."
"SAP Analytics cloud needs better exporting options."
"They need more support for more languages, Python for example."
"Sometimes we have difficulty connecting to a SharePoint list."
"However, there are areas of improvement, particularly in terms of visualization. The front-end interface of SAP Analytics Cloud is not as impressive as Tableau and Power BI. The charts in other solutions have a more visually appealing and customizable look, while in SAP Analytics Cloud, there's a lack of alignment between numbers and charts. This graphical aspect, especially concerning charts, is not as satisfactory in SAP Analytics Cloud compared to its counterparts."
"Figuring out how to navigate all of the products around Data Warehouse Cloud and SAP Analytics Cloud and BW for HANA is quite difficult."
"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."
"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."
