SAP vs Power BI: How to compare SAP analytics tools with other technologies

Live Webinar on 30th July 2025 @ 3pm CET / 2pm UK / 9am EST / 7am MST.

Many HR and People Analytics teams find themselves torn between what’s already available inside SAP SuccessFactors and what they think they could build with a standalone tool like Power BI. But comparing them properly isn’t as simple as lining up features — you need to look at fit-for-purpose, integration, and long-term value in the context of your People Analytics strategy.

In this practical and strategic session, we’ll show you how to fairly compare the SAP analytics stack — including tools like Datasphere, Analytics Cloud, and the emerging People Intelligence suite — against Power BI.

We’ll explore the pros and cons of each toolset, but more importantly, we’ll show you why SAP-native tools are often the faster, more scalable, and more sustainable choice when your goal is trusted HR insights embedded into real decision-making.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to compare Power BI and SAP’s analytics tools “like for like”
• How to evaluate the tools based on what your organisation really needs
• Why SAP-native tools often offer the best strategic fit for HR teams
