    The best thing among all was Sap because of its powerful dashboard and amazing services. While trying out a lot of clouds, it became clear that the business need can be taken care up by SAP. The other main purpose was that it provides best after sales service as well

    Positives and negatives to both, Tableau is the best visually but not as strong on integration. Power Bi is very customization but is very ungoverned.

    As it has been released as a Beta version in the past days, I have not the chance to evaluate them together. Both products look pretty similar. I would like to use it more to see what are the main differences.

    SAP Analytics Cloud is another niche tool in the market and initially, there were confusions [about] what SAP Data Warehouse Cloud and SAC can do. Now there is clear segregation and the combination is more powerful. SAP Data Warehouse Cloud is much more powerful than SAC in …

    SAP Data Warehouse Cloud is flexible, highly integrated, and cost-effective compared to competitors, which has poor backend integration capability. In our organization, we prefer SAP Data Warehouse Cloud since it integrates with all external platforms we have in our system.

    SAP Datasphere is an exciting way to modernize our data stack, and what clinched it for us was how deep we're already in with SAP - it only made sense to try and leverage the synergies between Datasphere and our other SAP products.
