Invaluable tool
Vantagens
SAP makes my job easier on a daily basis by helping to manage company data. It allows me to more easily manage my analytical processing as well.
Desvantagens
A bit complicated and definitely takes some time to learn to navigate the system.
Good product, features and reporting are fit for all sector
It as allowed us as a company to be better with our procure to pay system. There is nothing SAP cannot do for us.
Vantagens
It is now easy for me to create purchase order from outline agreement (me33k)with suppliers and I can also created purchase order manually through me21n
Desvantagens
Email approval needs to be incorporated in it. In production, there is no way to get items wise cost.
SAP Analytics Cloud is one of the best BI tools
I highly recommend, SAP Analytics has improved the our daily tasks especially with its automation solution.
Vantagens
I like its friendly using functions and how it is easy to build nice and insightful visualization of business keys variables . Tracking revenue, cash, sales. I use it as well in planing and decision support.
Desvantagens
I might have a remark on the limited options of extracting output in the required format
A lot of promise, little functionality
Since we started using SAP Analytics Cloud, the problems increased instead of decreasing. The experience of planning became a nightmare, where we realized that many calculations can not be made or that it is necessary to perform up to 9 calculations to obtain a result that in another tool would be obtained with one and only one calculation.
In real time, the planning carried out on an excel sheet ends up being faster and easier to perform than using SAP Analytics Cloud.
Vantagens
Easy to use
Graphics with a striking and modernist aesthetic
Desvantagens
Constant server errors
Little or no information about the errors
The planning model does not allow the entry of data in calculated accounts. Which, forces the user to have "Account Plan" and "Account Import" to formulate "Consolidated Account" as "IF (version = plan, [Account Plan], [Account Import]) .This makes the planning for each account complex calculated and if there is more than one version the problem rises exponentially.
Very few formulas to perform calculations
Serious performance problems due to the use of Lookup formulas
Some complexities must be solved with the use of script, which is not easy to learn for the end user, eliminating all automation options and returning to archaic and manual systems.
Each use of srcipt must be executed with a button. However, the waiting time can not exceed 5 minutes. Otherwise, the action is not executed. I had to have 12 buttons to execute a single action.
Amazing capabilities once you know how to use
Overall a good experience. Just a bit of a learning curve just like most SAP tools.
Vantagens
This has better features and functionalities than the other analytics software i've seen. Very flexible.
Desvantagens
It takes awhile to understand it's full functionality. Would be nice to have better in app training experience.
Great tool for revenue analysis
Vantagens
There is a bunch of resources such as chart structures, revenue and KPI analysis.
Desvantagens
It could have more options to designs in graphs.
A BI platform that is not at a disadvantage compared to the consolidated names on the market
It's a BI platform that is not at a disadvantage compared to the consolidated names on the market for a variety of tools. The customization options to displaying information and graphics are visually pleasing. The SAP product platform is easily integrable, which is a big plus.
Vantagens
The graphics preview interface is very friendly.
Desvantagens
It has support only for the United States region.

Desvantagens
A tool with few deventajas and although it is not imputable to the company requires a good internet connection for the storage of information in the cloud and ensure its optimal functioning
Always better on the cloud
Analyze data, reveal trends, gather insights, use across platforms through the cloud.
Vantagens
Good company and a safe bet for large corporations. Having data on the cloud makes it easy to access through other devices such as tablets in client meetings.

Steep learning curve for people new to these kinds of platforms. If you get the hang of it, it is a great way to see trends and analyze data sets through a cloud platform.

Budget.
Nice result but confused process
1. Visualization of data
2. Easy working with data visualization as for web as for mobile app
Vantagens
- 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.
Desvantagens
- 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,

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!

Review of SAP
We are able to mass communicate our sales to our entire team, which can then be trickled down to our partners.

I like the ease of pulling the data and be able to display it.
Desvantagens
At times, it is slow to load and update. Many times we have to restart all together.
the software has been a great add to our company
Vantagens
it allows us to seamlessly communicate all aspects of our financials to every department. makes our P.O. process flawless.
Desvantagens
the updates don't always work well and we have to call and have problems fixed as an update rolls out.
I used SAP Analytics Cloud to create some commerciale and financial reports.
Easy of use; analytics insight; beautiful interface.
Vantagens
The tool has great features like the planning menu and the easy of use interface. It's a complete tool for Business Intelligence and analytics, with beautiful views and charts.
Desvantagens
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.

SAP Analytics Cloud
SAP Analytics cloud: Real time analytics.
Vantagens
Excellent cloud analytics with live connections gives instant data fetch. User Interface is very easy to use and very easy to create financial statements.
Desvantagens
Expensive software. And setting up for first use is difficult. I would suggest that they should have a better tutorials for beginners.
Sap fi setup and use
Must understand your business to properly configure your system properly. Once properly configured, there are many built in reporting functions.
Vantagens
Customizable
Desvantagens
Cost is expensive to maintain.
All of your data, all in one place
Vantagens
What an amazing tool for anyone running SAP and integrations. I am able to pull my CRM Data and my SAP data cleanly together and report on it with amazing precision. The graphs look fantastic as well! Loads of functions and different ways to show and slice your data.
Desvantagens
It is a bit much to setup when dealing with integration points, but show me an Analytics tool that doesn't. Stellar for the price as well.
I evaluated this software asked by a client
Vantagens
Well, it certainly has many features. I like that it can grow with a company, and allow companies to add extra features as needed
Desvantagens
I found it not very intuitive and hard to learn its quirky ways. It was difficult to use in my opinion and expensive
Good experience; help greatling in managing budgets
Vantagens
The emcompassed functionality and possibility to adapt. Apart from financial we widely use it as a controlling tool.
Desvantagens
The user interface is not very attractive and doesn't make one "want" to work with it. Controlling is organised verticaly - it would help if mixed projects could be implemented (cost across, vertically and horizontaly)
SAP Financial is superb product with easy to navigate the FI
Reporting made easy
Vantagens
SAP Financial is vast product with e numerous data handling capacity and parallel processing of complex reports involving structures org level and units clearly articulated.
Best use comes for Oil and Gas and retails for theirs ageing reports weekly or monthly.
Works with SAP Lumira/Tableua HANA. Good for medium to large org.
Desvantagens
Not much, good if you're already using SAP HANA. Most of the report migration takes some development to integrate with SAP.
Working on Analytics Cloud is very slow. Poor Performance. Loading 7k rows took multiple attempts
Analytics is one where this would be useful. The Dashboards and story line building would help in making an informed decision
Vantagens
Drag and Drop feature, All Inbuilt Algorithms, ease of using ESRI and hence the geo co-ordinates, Ease of Building a Story or a Data model
Desvantagens
Poor Performance. Loading 7k rows took multiple attempts. Also when a filter is used on this 7k records, the time for update the Dashboard is not that impressive

Hi VenuGopala,
We¿re glad you¿re enjoying the product. We¿ll definitely look into this a little further. If you could please email us at [email protected], we¿d be happy to look at this issue with you.
Thanks,
SAP Analytics Cloud
Powerful, interactive, user friendly.
Vantagens
For me, it has to be the graphical aspect. The ability to upload a file with 1000's of values and then piece by piece build a story to bring the data to life. The geo location functionality is also excellent and the tool is definitely user friendly - the hints that pop up are very useful.
Desvantagens
Using the software on the free trial I've not noticed anything that I dislike. Maybe the geo location by region could be extended to other regions outside of the USA... I understand you can use coordinates for this but it would be good to have the same option for Europe.

SAP Analytics Cloud
A great experience in data analysis work.
A powerful data analysis tool with a wide variety of reporting, data collaboration, and management reporting sharing options.
Vantagens
The graphical interface is beautiful and intuitive.
Desvantagens
The platform is slow in some moments of use.
Forget MS Excel
If you use SAP Financials together with other SAP modules like MM, PP and CO you have a fully integrated ERP Software. The drilldown functionality helps you to understand and to analyse the different processes in your company. If you are used to work with Excel for analysis it is not longer necessary with SAP financials, because the standard reports give you a lot of information. They can be easily adjusted for all kinds of adhoc queries. Even if this is not enough you can implement SAP BI for more taylormade analysis. Every module costs money, often based on amount of users that work with it. So the SAP license modell makes sense from mid sized companies onwards. For small businesses are often much cheaper acounting solutions available. It is very important to take for the master data maintenance otherwise your reports and analysis may show wrong conclusions. For every SAP module a key-user in every entity/company has to be defined.
We are able to customize the program to accurately meet our companies needs.
