Overall, I am satisfied with the product as a strategic analytics platform. The solution continues to improve, especially around live data handling. However, the product development lifecycle often feels inconsistent: features are introduced without full coverage, later reworked, and sometimes partially or fully deprecated. This results in avoidable rework, uncertainty and additional testing efforts for teams who rely on SAC in a business-critical environment

Basically this product can visualize data in the same way that competitive products can. The main difference is that SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) is built to use (live) data from SAP and not really from other sources. This means that all data that is not directly fed from SAP should either be directed to SAP or put into SAC manually. A way around this is the use of a data platform, but that eliminates the one thing SAC does well, which is connecting to SAP. Another disadvantage is that there is fewer users and therefore fewer information to be gathered from forums than would be the case with other visualization products.
