Hello,
In release 2011 SAP Marketing Cloud is now integrated with SAP Analytics Cloud embedded edition.
What are the functional differences between SAP Analytics Cloud Embedded Edition and SAP Analytics Cloud?
Thank you.

Dear all,

For new customers that have acquired SAP Marketing Cloud as of 2011, with our new pricing model, SAP Analytics Cloud, embedded edition is part of the license.

SAP Analytics Cloud, embedded edition cannot be used for customers that already have acquired SAP Marketing Cloud before 2011. In this case, SAP Analytics Cloud is available and must be setup with manual integration.

With SAP Analytics Cloud, embedded edition, the integration with SAP Marketing Cloud is done automatically out of the box, which is not case with SAP Analytics Cloud that needs to be integrated manually, as per our integration guide. That’s the main difference.

In addition, custom analytical stories for SAP Analytics Cloud, embedded edition are created directly in SAP Marketing Cloud through a new app called Marketing Custom Stories. Details in our online documentation. Custom stories for SAP Analytics Cloud are created in SAP Analytics Cloud. Details also in our online documentation.

SAP pre-delivers analytical stories. Our online documentation for each analytical stories identifies if a story is available for SAP Analytics Cloud, embedded edition. We planned to deliver the same set of stories for SAP Analytics Cloud, embedded edition as we do for SAP Analytics Cloud in future releases.

For customers who already have SAP Analytics Cloud with SAP Marketing Cloud, it is not possible to use SAP Analytics Cloud, embedded edition. However, the functionality is not really different between the two. The main difference is on a simplified setup as described abovew and where the custom stories are created.

Hi Isabelle,

Thanks for sharing.

How does the new "Embedded Edition" handle licences?

When we purchased the Marketing Cloud, with the "normal" SAC, there were 5 users for SAC included in Standard edition of SMC, 20 in Professional Edition, and 50 in Enterprise Edition.

If the "Embedded Edition" creates the stories directly in SMC, are there then no more limits on nr of users who can view these stories?

Hi Joyca,

SAP Analytics Cloud, embedded edition has the same quotas as SAP Analytics Cloud model. It is based on the licensed that is purchased. Here some details:

SKU Edition Q nb users P nb users

8008484 Standard 5 5

8008485 Professional 5 20

8008486 Enterprise 5 50

Best Regards

Hello,

AFAIK, both offer the same feature but it's just that new "Embedded" edition comes as pre-integrated with SMC when you get the system i.e. no need to spend any effort on making the connectivity between Embedded SAC with SMC. Whereas for general SAC you need to maintain/follow all the steps as mentioned in the integration guide. However both will offer exactly the same feature as well as content.
