SAP Analytics Cloud is the master of Data Analytics
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
SAP Analytics Cloud is used by us to prepare a 10 year and 5 year sales forecast and market segment growth. We use it to input data, compare with actual sales numbers and then take decisions based on the visualizations. SAP Analytics Cloud has improved our forecasting method and reduced complexity of handling multiple Excel sheets. We are using this service for marketing database, production planning and segmentation of customers.

Likelihood to Recommend
It is well suited for annual activities like 5 year business planning but it is not a easy to handle software for daily sales tracking. There are better options available.
