We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
Easy to use components to create the job. | All of the modules that we used to have separately in our on-premises solution are now integrated into one platform. The new Application Design option offers lots of customization options by being able to script in Typescript (similar to Javascript). Real-time data makes for a single version of the truth. The stories have really been helpful in looking at specific scenarios and analyzing trends over periods of time. |
Cons | |
Logging capability is needed. Version control would be a good addition. | I would like to see reporting to the Analytics cloud directly. There should be more features for the time series charts. 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. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Free and commercial versions are available. | It is a bit expensive, but really worth it, especially if you are already using other SAP tools. |
