Based on the SAC tool, I consider the following standout features as the most useful for us: The tool is highly intuitive, allowing end users to feel comfortable creating their own visualizations and exploring data without constant IT department dependency. Having BI, augmented analytics and financial planning in one single cloud solution simplifies the landscape significantly. Connectivity options: At the beginning of the tenant acquisition we performed a project based on enabling connections to SAP and Non-SAP datasources with the intention of being agile. It has let us not loose time in this kind of facts that sometimes it was a struggle for us. The AI driven insights and automated forecasting help us to discover hidden patterns without needing a data science background. SAC offers to us a low TCO, as we do not need to install and maintain desktop software on users' desktops, this has eliminated the technical burden of manual updates and ensures that every user is always working on the latest version of the platform, significantly reducing IT maintenance efforts.

The star shaped data model as opposed to the spider's web data model of other products, the difficulty of finding solutions to practical issues, and the new layout of the builder and styling panels without colors that stand out.
