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."There is a really nice insight feature that I enjoy using."
"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."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is very easy to use, and you don't require much technology. It has a very good library and analytics. It is easy to configure and offers good visualization."
"Provides rich features for developing automated reports and dashboards."
"The product is flexible and has features like AI, link analysis, and insights. It has many features. I can search, and it creates automatic charts without selecting anything. For example, I can ask, "What is the gross margin?" the tool builds a chart based on my question."
"It integrates with third-party applications such as Google Drive and Excel,"
"The most valuable features are on the application side, where you can design applications into your analytics on the platform."
"The user interface is quite good for developing reports out of models."
"It's scalable."
"The out-of-the-box features are simple and easy to use across the board."
"Live Query data on demand, R and Python integration, and the ability to write HTML and JavaScript text areas are all valuable features."
"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."
"Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG."
"R and automation services."
"The solution is an affordable one."
"One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis."
"The security, authorization, and live connection to the back-office system features can be improved. A business analyst colleague who creates complex financial management reports has mentioned that he wants to see more fact and visualization features. It would be helpful to have more visualization features to be able to prepare more stories or reports for executives. For example, Tableau has some visualization features that are not present in this solution."
"The solution should include other scripting languages as well, such as Python."
"Improvements are coming quarterly whereas previously it was on a monthly basis."
"AI doesn't work as well with SAP live connections."
"It's lacking a bit in maturity and we find we can't run our business off it until it's improved."
"I expect more integration from SAP Analytics Cloud."
"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."
"I would also like to have more advanced features for predictive analytics."
"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."
"Print capability and trigger-based events."
"Compared to competitors, the UI is quite dated."
"We would like an easier way to get the product to the cloud. Right now, we have the on-premise version, and we would like to find a way to make it easier to migrate it over to the cloud."
"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support."
"The initial setup is complicated and needs experience and knowledge."
"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."
"I would like more easy-to-implement analytical algorithms. At the moment they include things like forecasts and regressions. They need to add a lot more of these types of things to the product because not everyone is a data scientist."
