SAC brings together business intelligence, planning, and predictive analytics within a single platform. This means there is no need to piece together different products, allowing finance, operations, and analytics teams to collaborate using one unified model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SAC can sometimes feel sluggish, especially when working with large or complex models. Performance may also suffer if there are too many calculations involved or if data is being imported instead of accessed live. Additionally, if networks are not properly optimized, this can further impact speed. While using live connections can improve responsiveness, performance tuning is often still necessary to achieve optimal results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the performance with large datasets to be problematic, which results in slow dashboard loading and potential delays for stakeholders trying to interact with the data. I also find the custom visualization options limited, restricting my ability to fully tailor reports to my needs. There's a significant learning curve associated with the planning features, which can be a barrier for new users trying to utilize these capabilities. Another issue is the limited integration with non-SAP systems, making it challenging to create a cohesive data environment when working with a variety of tools.

I appreciate SAP Analytics Cloud for its seamless integration with S/4 HANA Embedded TM, providing real-time visibility into freight orders, carrier performance, and cost distribution without heavy data replication. The interactive dashboards and drill-down capabilities simplify complex data analysis, making it an invaluable tool for logistics teams to forecast transportation costs and capacity needs based on historical TM data. The platform's real-time integration ensures that dashboards reflect the latest data without the need for manual refreshes, effectively eliminating delays in decision-making and reducing errors commonly caused by outdated reports. The advanced visualization features and interactive dashboards further enhance the insight into freight orders, carrier assignments, and costs, making SAP Analytics Cloud a game changer. Its compatibility with SAP S4 HANA Core modules to integrate with Finance and Controlling modules ensures alignment of freight cost analytics with financial reporting, enhancing the overall utility of the platform. Additionally, the pre-built connectivity options facilitate the connection with S/4 HANA and help to reduce custom development efforts, while the cloud deployment for SaaS accelerates onboarding compared to on-premises options.

In complex data modeling for TM structures, it can be cumbersome as SAP Analytics Cloud doesn't automatically understand TM's hierarchical relationships. There is a need for improvements in specific data models or templates to reduce manual effort. When analyzing thousands of freight orders or historical cost data, SAP Analytics Cloud dashboards experience latency, especially with complex calculations. Additionally, while generic templates are provided, TM-specific dashboards for aspects like freight cost variance, carrier performance, and route efficiency are missing. Industry-specific content packages for TM could reduce setup time and improve adoption. Furthermore, there is a need for AI-driven predictive models for freight demand, carrier capacity, and route disruptions, considering external factors like weather or fuel prices.

What I like best about SAP Analytics Cloud is that it brings planning, reporting, and visualization together in one place. Instead of jumping between different tools or Excel files, I can build interactive dashboards, run ad-hoc analysis, and do what-if planning all within the same platform. The integration with SAP and non-SAP data sources is also a big plus, because it lets us work with near real-time data and keeps everyone aligned on a single version of the truth.

What I dislike about SAP Analytics Cloud is that it can feel slow or unresponsive at times, especially with large datasets or complex models. Some features still feel limited compared to traditional BI tools, and certain customizations require workarounds. The learning curve can also be a bit steep for new users, and updates occasionally introduce changes that require re-adjusting existing reports. Overall, it’s powerful, but it could definitely be more flexible and faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I primarily use SAP Analytics Cloud for data visualization, which helps turn raw data into visualizations where I can identify patterns and trends.

What I like best about SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) is its ability to combine analytics, planning, and predictive insights in a single unified platform. Having these capabilities together greatly simplifies decision-making and eliminates the need for multiple disconnected tools.

The interactive visualizations and dashboards are intuitive to build and make it easy for users at all levels to explore data, identify patterns, and drill down for deeper insights. SAC’s real-time connectivity to SAP data sources—especially SAP HANA, S/4HANA, and BTP services—ensures that reports are always up to date without manual data movement.

I also value the Smart Insights and predictive forecasting features, which automatically highlight key drivers and trends, helping business teams make faster, data-driven decisions. Collaboration tools, such as commenting and shared stories, make it easy for teams to align on KPIs and business plans.

Overall, SAC stands out for its end-to-end analytics and planning capabilities, seamless SAP integration, and strong user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While SAP Analytics Cloud is powerful and well integrated with the SAP ecosystem, there are a few areas that could be improved. The initial learning curve can be challenging for new users, especially when working with advanced modeling, complex calculations, or planning scenarios. Some features—like data actions, allocation processes, and scripting—require deeper technical knowledge.

Performance can vary when handling large datasets or complex dashboards, and some visualizations may take longer to load compared to other analytics tools. The story-building interface, although flexible, can feel a bit restrictive at times, especially when trying to create highly customized layouts or advanced visual designs.

Additionally, integrations with non-SAP data sources often require extra configuration or middleware, which adds complexity. The mobile app experience also has room for improvement in terms of responsiveness and feature parity with the web version.

Overall, SAC is a strong platform, but improving performance, simplifying advanced features, and enhancing flexibility would make it even more user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
