"Could be more user-friendly; somewhat complicated to use.""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.""Custom visuals is another area of improvement. There are also some mobile features that are missing. There are features that aren't available on the mobile.""Technical support could be more helpful and responsive.""There should be more features for the time series charts.""SAP Analytics Cloud should improve the dashboard.""SAP has always had one problem with its products, they make them very closed systems that are difficult to integrate.""One area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud is incorporating Python into the coding. That functionality is available, but it's not as efficient, and it's a bit difficult sometimes to do it, so that could be improved."
