I use SAP Analytics Cloud primarily for building dashboards and running planning and forecasting workflows across finance and operations. It helps me solve data fragmentation by unifying inputs from multiple backend systems into a single source of truth for dashboards and reporting.

I have issues with SAP Analytics Cloud's performance when handling large datasets or complex models. It would be helpful if engineers had more control over data modeling and execution, like better indexing strategies, partitioning options, and visibility into query plans to optimize processing. Also, while the initial setup with prebuilt integrations is straightforward, it gets more complex with non-SAP systems or advanced planning models, requiring careful data modeling, security configurations, and performance tuning.

I find SAP Analytics Cloud makes dashboarding easy and is the next step compared to my previous tools. The KPI visualization is easy to do, and it's kind of next level. Using SAP Analytics Cloud planning helps me shut down old legacy tools and save costs. It integrates well with Datasphere and Analysis for Office for detailed reporting. Although I struggled at the beginning, the setup became a piece of cake later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the security of SAP Analytics Cloud, as it is very important to ensure that each user sees only what they should see, no more, no less.

I use SAP Analytics Cloud to create and share dashboards with different teams, and I find it easy to use for these purposes. I particularly like its strong connection with SAP DSP, as it lets me effectively utilize DSP data models by creating a pipeline between DSP and SAP Analytics Cloud efficiently. The Data Analyzer feature is another aspect I appreciate; it allows me to have a detailed view of raw data and apply filters for a granular view, which helps me ask the right questions to stakeholders. The ability to use DSP models directly in SAP Analytics Cloud is beneficial for creating quick insights on top of the models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the limited number of functions while creating calculated measures/columns in the story frustrating. This limitation increases dependency on DSP models for changes. Adding more functions and flexibility around coding for calculations, similar to DAX in PowerBI, would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
