As part of this effort, the Product Availability Matrix now mentions that the end of mainstream maintenance for the SAP Predictive Analytics on premise suite is set to December 31st, 2026.
SAP Predictive Analytics Suite, SAP Predictive Analytics Edge edition, and SAP Predictive Analytics application edition, are no longer part of SAP's product price list since January 2020.
SAP will continue to support these on-premise products in the coming years, and offers strong alternatives to those who want to evaluate new possibilities:
- SAP Business Data Cloud and SAP Analytics Cloud offers in standard augmented analytics features to support BI and planning use cases
SAP Predictive Analytics customers and partners can confidently take the necessary time to evaluate the new product options offered by SAP.
It is worth noting that none of these products offer a one-to-one replacement of the existing SAP Predictive Analytics capabilities and therefore cannot be considered a successor product.

Incremental features will not be offered in the mainstream maintenance phase for SAP Predictive Analytics Suite, SAP Predictive Analytics Edge edition, and SAP Predictive Analytics application edition.
