It takes awhile to understand it's full functionality. Would be nice to have better in app training experience.

SAP Analytics Cloud doesn't have some features that other BI tool have, for instance direct connectors with cloud data sources as Google Analytics, Facebook, etc.
The latency is also a problem for final users.

Decision Making Tool really working

Deployment is not so easy but if you have a strong SAP partener it would become a nice discover. Price is also a litle bit high

Being a MRP controller, I control and manage day-to-day supply of raw materials and their purchasing
Pros
Ease of use with easy change of languages and the UI is just awesome with frontal access to all the necessities.

some of the redundancies of options to launch a selection but then again, it makes it easy for a beginner.

Complete Self-Service BI reporting tool
Pros
Single Sign On integration with SAP landscape
User data securtity heritage from SAP BW
BW Live connection with HANA/BW
Cons
Extraction Transformation and Loading middleware is still a weakness. Creating a model is easy if you have data cooked already
Great software. Good visualization features, need more intuitiveness.
I used it only as a trainee.
Pros
The map layer feature helps analysis of totally unrelated facts. Good features for a cloud based application.
Cons
Chart types are only basic. Need more types. Data confidentiality is a concern with cloud based application. A BW live connection may have adverse impact on performance.

the look and feel of the software, the chart selections and variety, the Speed seems to be ok, connectivities

the authorizations should be taken directly from SAP BW. But the user Forums said that this is not possible. I would be happy to get to know if it will work
Response from SAP
Hi Christian,
Thanks for your feedback. We appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts. Regarding the SAP BW connection, can we ask: which version of it do you have? Did you follow the steps on this documentation for Live Data Connections or to Import Data?

Great tool for real time data integration
Pros
This is a great tool. Data is very easy to track real time data. From business point of view, the UI is very simple as well.

Not so easy to learn. There are better analytics tool available in market.
Nice result but confused process
1. Visualization of data
2. Easy working with data visualization as for web as for mobile app
Pros
- Visualization,charts, story , pages
- geo maps is really great for analyzing the whole picture,
- date range filter is really great, exactly what I need,
- it is interesting work with modeler
I try only free version so many features I did not have possibility to try.
Cons
- Only USA States supporting in geo region;
- only 256 symbols for string value in model is too small, I have really large field;
- I did not understand how to build many-to-many links between models or dimensions in one model;
- how to add dimension with few value for one model ID or put measure as distinct value;
- it would be great if table in story has expand and collapse function,
Response from SAP
Hi Iryna,
Thanks for your feedback! We appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts with us, it helps us to keep working hard for our customers.
Regarding some of your questions:
- To create hierarchies or links between dimensions in one model, please watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tgTJB3kOGw&index=113&list=PLs5htBIwERYWSixKSqQHzndop33aBCz1U
Creating hierarchies will help to expand or collapse the information on the tables in your story.
- Regarding dimensions, you can create a public dimension that later on you can use with another model.
Thanks!
