SAP Analytics Cloud automates insights with the power of machine learning and it enables you to quickly compose specialized analytics apps and deliver high-performance analytics at scale.

The predictive machine learning features are very good. Analytics features are awesome especially in terms of dashborads and visualization. It's obvious integrations with other SAP products is also very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP Analytics Cloud?

Compared to other Analytics tools like Tableau and Powerbi especially in terms of visualization, SAP Analytics Cloud is bit harder to implement especially in terms of non SAP data sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SAP Analytics Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

The most important feature according to me is centralized analytics and predictive capabilities along with visualizations and dashboarding all in one solution that SAC provides. There are various tools but each excelling in some or other capability. SAC solves the problem of having just one solution in place, it's cloud based offering and removes the need of managing multiple tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SAP Analytics Cloud?

For my part I found it a very useful software and more in a multinational company, since it was not necessary to send very heavy documents but all the information was on the same platform which could be accessed anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP Analytics Cloud?

The only drawback I saw to the platform is that many times the information is not very summarized and you have to polish a lot of information at the time of submission, besides that at the time of downloading if the information was very extensive it took some time to download. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SAP Analytics Cloud?

Overall I really like SAP Lumira while my professional career what stands out to me about SAP Lumira is its intuitive data visualization capabilities. It allows us to transform complex data into clear, understandable visual representations. Despite occasional interface glitches, Lumira's impact on data-driven decision-making is remarkable. It's a valuable tool for making insightful business choices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP Analytics Cloud?

Well not much to dislike but can say need of small improvement like one aspect that can be a bit frustrating about SAP Lumira is its occasional tendency to experience slow load times, particularly with larger datasets. However, its ability to create impactful data visualizations remains a strong point. Despite this minor setback, SAP Lumira proves its worth in simplifying data analysis and presentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SAP Analytics Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

SAP Lumira has solved many problem of me , it has made my data visualisation very easy. SAP Lumira effectively tackles the challange of turning complex data into actionable insights. It streamlines data analisys, making it easier to identify trends and patterns. While occassional performance issues arise, Lumira's ability to enhance decision-making and drive business improvements is invaluble. It helps us make informed choices and stay ahead in a data-driven landscape. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SAP Analytics Cloud?

I like that the product has many options to create all sorts of graphs, charts, and tables. I find out more and more tricks and tools to utilize my data even more and make the presentation better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP Analytics Cloud?

What I don't like, and this might be just the servers within our company, are the Live models take very long to load at times. Sometimes I would rather create a modeler from a data source model, but if I happen to forgot one dimension or measure after creating it, then I cannot go back and add it, but have to start all over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SAP Analytics Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is helping us provide analytics, measurements, and overall insight to each department within our branch. Not only are we providing this data, but we can give it in live time, or they have the option to adjust the time frame and see that data quickly as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
