All analytics capabilities in one product | Save time and reduce errors by not having to jump between products. Serve the needs of all with one app and break down functional silos. | Other vendors provide point solutions or some but not all analytics capabilities in one product. |
Process-oriented user-centric Fiori-like interface | Modern look-&-feel, intuitive and easy to use on any device, get value in a couple of minutes and a few mouse clicks. | Many other vendors offer dated look-&-feel and experience. |
Built-in in-context social collaboration | Have a conversation and take action directly vs jumping to another app. | Other vendors offer limited built-in collaboration or require a separate app. |
Hyrbid data access architecture | Access all your data – SAP and non-SAP, on-premise and in the cloud. | Other vendors require to move all data to the cloud first. |
Big data wrangling / data blending | Enrich traditional analytics with big data analytics without a separate specialized product. | Big data discovery products from other vendors only solve part of the analytics equation. |
Native integration with on-premise SAP Analytics | Complement existing on-premise investments in SAP Analytics. | Other vendors have inferior access to BPC, BW, HANA, S/4HANA, Lumira data, or universes, or no access at all. |
Embedded in SAP LOB apps (future) | Standardization. Increased adoption of analytics. | Other vendors can’t offer a seamless embedded analytics experience with SAP apps – on-prem or in the cloud. |
Hosted in SAP cloud data centers | Fulfill highest security, data protection demands, and availability on a global basis. | Safer choice. SAP is more reliable business partner than smaller niche cloud analytics vendors. |
2-tier architecture powered by SAP HANA | Real-time, high performance, and data intensive applications. | All other cloud products are 3-tier (separate UI, analytics, and database layers), not built on modern in-memory platforms or rely on proprietary platforms that won’t scale or perform like HANA |
Built natively on SAP HANA Cloud Platform | Extensibility and scalability (up/out) thanks to modern enterprise class Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). | Other cloud products are not built on a powerful and feature rich Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) thereby limiting the scalability and robustness of their apps running in the cloud. |
