Inconvénients

Getting used to it might take time, lots of features that we still don't know what they do.

Avantages

Because we use SAC for dashboarding and data visualization purposes, I like that I am able to take advantage of the capabilities that cloud services provides while maintaining the SAP data structure. It is also valuable because it allows us to communicate the data from our highest stakeholders to our operators and allows our team view and respond to the information that is given quickly.

Inconvénients

There are disadvantages to cloud services and naturally SAC is no exception, also the implementation of the system to integrate with data sources outside of SAP can be complex and require SAP contractors. SAC can also have some bugs since it is relatively new and we have had to pause our system in order to correct these errors in the past.
