Invaluable tool
We are able to customize the program to accurately meet our companies needs.
Pros
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.
Cons
A bit complicated and definitely takes some time to learn to navigate the system.

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.
Pros
Easy to use Graphics with a striking and modernist aesthetic
Cons
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.
Pros
This has better features and functionalities than the other analytics software i've seen. Very flexible.
Cons
It takes awhile to understand it's full functionality. Would be nice to have better in app training experience.
