Cons
"SAP Analytics Cloud requires a lot of coding and I would like the coding to be somewhat minimal.""The customizations need to be better.""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.​""It should have the flexibility for scoping the story and models. When you use it in a three-layer architecture, you struggle with the fact that you usually have just one SAP Analytics Cloud tenant, and you have to switch the connections, which might be an issue for bigger developments. For the development role, there should be an option to switch between development and production scenarios.""SAP could add some more visualization features to Analytics Cloud, like charts and analytics. I would also like to see some more data cleaning and ad hoc functions added to this solution.""I expect more integration from SAP Analytics Cloud.""They need more support for more languages, Python for example.""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."

More SAP Analytics Cloud Cons →

"I would like to see more/better documentation. They also need to enhance analytic/data science algorithms.""I have found some problems with the figures depicted on graphs and figures shown, like scores which could not be negative but which were depicted as such.""We have struggled with uptime. Some of the features need to be updated."
