Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, SAP and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."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."
"We can easily do our own customizations."
"The embedding feature is great."
"The concept of engines is quite powerful allowing the user to work with report authoring/provisioning tools of their choice."
"A robust solution."
"Real-time data makes for a single version of the truth."
"Data integration is very good."
"One feature I've found most valuable is discovery."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. We haven't tried all of the features yet. The graphing and the ease of using the analytics tools have been great. It's all drag and drop; you don't need to code anything."
"The visualization feature is the most valuable. SAP Analytics Cloud is also very easy to use."
"Offers both business intelligence as well as inbuilt AI and machine learning capabilities."
"Its user-friendliness is valuable. It is a product for end-users and not for IT, which is an advantage."
"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."
"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."
"Connection and integration with other applications have a lot of restrictions at the moment."
"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."
"Statistical analysis should be a bit more profound than it is."
"When it comes to planning there is a concern about the ability to match the exact requirements of the customer with what the product offers."
"There is no direct connector from SAP to Redshift, so we are required to use a third-party product that was recommended by SAP."
"They need more support for more languages, Python for example."
"The general management of this solution could be improved. The graphics or icons could also be improved to allow them to integrate with other environments on the web."
"An area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud is its planning feature because it's not that efficient when compared to BPC. Another area for improvement in the solution is the difficulty in building reports or dashboards, particularly if you don't have proper knowledge of the BI system. SAP Analytics Cloud technical support also needs improvement."
