Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The Smart Predict, Smart Insights, and Smart Discovery predictive analysis features are quite good."
"It's so user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Analytics Cloud is its integration with SAP."
"Visualization is quite seamless and awesome. Once the data messaging is set up, it's straightforward and simple to select how it should be displayed. So, that's another advantage of SAP."
"We mainly use Analytics Cloud because it integrates with other SAP solutions. Our ERP is an SAP product, and our back-end is SAP Business Warehouse, so integration is an essential factor."
"The reporting, dashboards, KPIs, and visualization are the most valuable."
"There is a really nice insight feature that I enjoy using."
"What my customers like best about SAP Analytics Cloud is the dashboard because it's pretty good."
"I believe that the possibilities for exploring data and formulating visual results are quite good because it allows the business analyst to have different perspectives on the data."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"We've found the product to be stable and reliable."
"The most solution's notable aspect, in my view, is the ability to integrate various data sources and harness advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. This helps with quality assurance processes."
"Quick deployment to dashboards and analytics features (using SAS Visual Statistics and Enterprise Guide). Easy to create a simple forecast and discover business insights using segmentation tools."
"The technical support services are good."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"What I really love about the software is that I have never struggled in implementing it for complex business requirements. It is good for highly sophisticated and specialized statistics in the areas that some people tend to call artificial intelligence. It is used for everything that involves visual presentation and analysis of highly sophisticated statistics for forecasting and other purposes."
"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."
"I expect more integration from SAP Analytics Cloud."
"In the live connection model, we can't create calculated dimensions, however, in the import model we can create them."
"Statistical analysis should be a bit more profound than it is."
"Technical support could be more helpful and responsive."
"SAC, which is the cloud version, lost some good features from the previous planning product, like BPC or BPS."
"SAP Analytics Cloud requires a lot of coding and I would like the coding to be somewhat minimal."
"Pricing is fine for the BI license, but when it comes to client license, that fee is a bit high."
"The licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
"There are scalability issues. It depends on the data volume and number of end-users. VA requires a lot of hardware resources to move volumes of data."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"The charts and tables could use better sorting, primarily using other variables than the ones on the figure. If they could implement views like in the older version (previous to Viya), it would be very nice."
"The solution should improve its graphics."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help."
