I really like how SAP Analytics Cloud integrates everything in one platform, making it easy to manage various processes seamlessly. The intuitive dashboard building allows me to visualize complex data effortlessly, which significantly enhances my understanding and ability to draw insights quickly. Furthermore, the connection with SAP HANA and other SAP systems is extremely effective, improving data symbiosis across platforms. The predictive features and smart insights are other aspects that I find impressive, as they enable me to uncover trends and insights without needing to delve into complex model building or write complicated scripts.

I find that some features of SAP Analytics Cloud feel slow when dealing with very large datasets, which can hinder efficiency in data analysis tasks. Additionally, the customization options for visuals seem a bit limited, restricting the ability to tailor reports and dashboards to specific needs. Managing user permissions also could be more flexible to better accommodate various organizational roles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That it is a part of all the SAP conjoined together. Everything is on the cloud. Provided all the necessary tools for analytical data to delve deep into it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It required quite a lot of learning to actually use it. Visuals are quite lacking in "spirit" - kind of dull. If not using other SAP tools it's not anything too "great". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

seamless live integration with our S/4HANA system, which keeps all our data real-time and eliminates the old extract-refresh headaches. Combined with the clean, modern dashboards and strong built-in planning features, it let our finance team move away from spreadsheet chaos into something collaborative and actually useful.

unreliable the Excel exports still are: formatting gets mangled, large datasets often time out or truncate, and it forces our finance team to keep relying on manual workarounds despite all the other modern features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The functionality and the ability to analyze any type of data. It is not just getting an output but the ability for format that output in a way that people will understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Separate data environement. It would be easier if it were integrated with the other components of SAP. Point AC to the data you want to analyze vs. bringing the data to AC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like least about SAP Analytics Cloud is that sometimes the performance can be slow when working with large volumes of data or complex models. Additionally, some advanced settings and customizations require deeper technical knowledge, which can make it difficult for beginners to use. There could also be more flexibility in creating layouts and integrating with external tools outside the SAP ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are few draw backs for SAP Analytics Cloud : -

You will observe the formance issues with complex models or large data volumes.

There is customization limitations in visualizations vs. other tools such as Power BI/Tableau.

There will be lag in updates or occasional slow dashboard loads with live data (this can be depends on performance of backend system as well).

Last is Licensing cost can be high for smaller organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
