Coming from a non-technical background, I was initially a bit intimidated, but this course broke down complex concepts perfectly. It has been a tremendous help in building my understanding from zero!

By Krishna Priya K R on 7/1/2026

I was really able to understand the course .it was a very new thing to me i thought it would be so hard but was easy to grasp i am very greatful to the team for this.

By Michael Nippel on 6/29/2026

Bis hierhin OK - aber noch sehr oberflächlich. Habe z.B. eine ganze Zeitlang suchen müssen, bis ich die Beispiel-Dateien gefunden hatte - hier wäre manchmal mehr Tiefe wünschenswert.

By Narrinder Sangar on 6/25/2026

By 김종민 on 3/10/2026

지루하지 않게 짧게 강의해서 듣기 편했습니다. SAC를 이해하는데 도움이 되었습니다. (The lecture was short and not boring, making it easy to listen to. It helped me understand SAC.)

By Andreea Mares on 3/2/2026

The content is not up to date, as the SAC interface has gone through serious changes. That wouldn't be such an issue if the course would be clearer and more thoroughly explained. 70% of the course curriculum I worked with in my position and knew already, that is why it was easy to navigate through. But planning models, multi actions, data actions, predictive scenarios where something I don't have the option of working with in my job and would have liked to learn. I have a trial account on SAP and can play around. Unfortunately, the explanations are lacking and the course should be seriously updated. Luckily, I didn't have to pay for it as access to the platform is provided by my employer. Otherwise, would have requested a refund.

By Aman aziz on 2/26/2026

This SAP S/4HANA course on Udemy exceeded my expectations. The content is well-structured and comprehensive, making complex topics accessible. The instructor delivers clear explanations and real-world applications, enhancing the learning experience. I appreciated the engaging quizzes and supportive community. Highly recommended for anyone looking to deepen their knowledge in SAP!

By Travis Lee on 1/23/2026

Not exactly for absolute beginners, but I could've benefited from some read-aheads in the areas of BI, data analytics, and completing the tutorials on the SAC website before deep diving into the course content. Once it begins, it's face-paced. There's a lot of content to absorb, but you can still follow along, and it's quite okay if you need to re-watch or re-read a particular section.

By Mayc2836 on 1/10/2026

I am totally new to SAP Analytics Cloud, but it doesn't hurt to get at least get an introduction to it. Despite trying to absorb all of the information from a firehose, this module is very informative and has actual assignments that's very hands on.
