Cons
"I think in terms of User Interface, I would say it can be better.""Mode Analytics needs to improve the overall user experience.""The solution could run faster.""The data visualization is cumbersome in Mode Analytics. I want the solution to add a map that has an easy interface. The UI is slow sometimes."

More Mode Analytics Cons →

"SAP has always had one problem with its products, they make them very closed systems that are difficult to integrate.""We need to know that we are using the latest and greatest, and SAP appears as if it has lost some credit in the market.​""Sometimes there are speed issues with big deletion data.""There is no direct connector from SAP to Redshift, so we are required to use a third-party product that was recommended by SAP.""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 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.""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.""It's lacking a bit in maturity and we find we can't run our business off it until it's improved."
