What features should be leveraged for efficient real-time data integration in SAP Analytics Cloud?

The most effective feature for real-time data integration in SAP Analytics Cloud is the Live Data Connection. This option allows users to connect directly to various data sources while accessing the most updated data without needing to duplicate it in the cloud. Such a connection ensures that users are always working with the latest information, enabling timely decision-making and insights based on real-time analytics.

Using a Live Data Connection, SAP Analytics Cloud can directly query the data source on-the-fly, meaning any changes in the underlying data are reflected immediately in the analytics. This can be particularly useful in dynamic environments where data is frequently updated and immediate analysis is required.

While Data Acquisition allows for importing data from different sources into SAP Analytics Cloud, it does not provide real-time integration, as the data is static once the acquisition process is complete. Query Browser is primarily a tool for accessing and exploring data models and is not specifically designed for real-time integration, nor does it facilitate direct connections to live data. Smart Insights is focused on generating insights based on existing data but does not handle data integration itself.

Thus, leveraging a Live Data Connection is the most suitable approach for ensuring real-time data integration within SAP Analytics Cloud.
