Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The embedding feature is great.""We can easily do our own customizations.""The concept of engines is quite powerful allowing the user to work with report authoring/provisioning tools of their choice.""I can't name the features the way the Knowage community calls them because I still don't know the lingo. However, I can describe them. I like the ability to join more than one report, set all fields on one end, and replicate that on the other reports. I like that a lot. I think it's one of the features that got me using Knowage. They have tables, and I like that too. They took SQL scripts and many other scripts and enabled them to even correlate with Python. That's also one of the best things about Knowage. You could also decide to get information per user role, and this is also a feature that I like in Knowage."

"This product provides good reports using a single pane of glass.""SAP Analytics Hub offers a user-friendly interface with effortless configuration, seamless updates, and real-time availability of information. It avoids the complexities associated with batch processing, providing a smooth and efficient experience.""What I like best about this solution is that it is built into the SAP line, making it easier to integrate with other SAP products.""For report scheduling, I always prefer SAP because it has the most powerful scheduling features, like sending reports to more than 1,000 customers per day. That option is not as good in Microsoft BI and in Tableau it only exists as an add-on option.""Data consistency is also a notable feature; the system takes care of data consistency, so you don't need to handle it manually."

Cons
"The only challenge here is that it's a Java-based platform. It requires very high technical skills.""The dashboard components could be better.""Development of SpagoBI has now been moved to Knowage. Users interested in further developments of the platform will have to look there.""It would be better if more resources were available to help us learn how to use it. I wanted to use Knowage for a more extended period, but learning materials around the product were not really available and were not really straightforward. I've also seen inconsistencies between versions. For example, under the tools, especially in the cockpit, the way you create reports is now different. You will also find some configurations within a particular state, like a line chart, which differs from version to version. I think consistency is an essential feature in a product, especially for business intelligence products."

More Knowage Cons →

"The technical support for Analytics Hub is limited and could be improved.""Pricing and support are integrated into the system. However, the support process can be challenging, particularly when navigating the SAP support site, which lacks user-friendliness and ease of access.""Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub.""The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience.""The analytics part of SAP has not been that good up until now. They're still in the infant stage and development is still going on. SAP has some cloud analytics and they're trying to configure it in Lumira, but it's not that good at this point."

    Top Answer:Data consistency is also a notable feature; the system takes care of data consistency, so you don't need to handle it manually.
    Top Answer:SAP does not have any capability of self-service analytics. It has a GUI, which has nothing to do with end-user empowerment. It should work more on integration. While SAP Analytics Hub doesn't… more »
