SAP Analytics Cloud

My company is considering switching from Power BI to SAP Analytics Cloud. At first glance, SAP Analytics Cloud appears much more limiting than PowerBI. Does anyone have any experience with both platforms? Any pros/cons I can use to report back on this potential decision.

Power BI is a business analytics service provided by Microsoft that allows you to connect to various data sources, create interactive dashboards, and perform advanced analytics. If you are switching from Power BI to SAP Analytics Cloud, you may need to migrate your data and reports.
