SAP Business Intelligence
What do you like best about the product?
I like SAP Business Intelligence because I can use it without having a knowledge of a SQL query language. I can easy connect to my database and data tables and I can set up a easy query to export the needed data records. When I have saved my query, I can save this data to a report or a different file format which can be used to for other SQL tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit hard to learn how to generate all those reports. The documentation is not so clear.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SAP Business Objects provides to my company the capacity to do a business analysis in real time. It should be a must have tool for all the companies and it should be used by any areas to export data and to do business analysis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend you SAP Business Objects if you want to implement an automated business solution for you company.
SAP BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE IS A GREAT PLATFORM FOR ON-DEMAND DATA EXTRACTION
What do you like best about the product?
SAP Business Intelligence does not require a user to know SQL query language. Simply connect to the data tables and build a quick query to extract the data elements you want. Once you save your query, you can drop this data onto a report or formatted text file for data analysis in a different software. We leverage its automation to set up routine data delivery extracts to the server, thereby eliminating the dependency of I.S. personnel of setting up and running jobs.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve in designing reports, but I really think that is standard of all new software learning experiences.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SAP Business Objects allows our company the ability to leverage real-time business analysis at our finger tips. Companies should make it an important tool that should be utilized by each department to extract data and perform trend analysis..
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Implementing a business intelligence solution is important to the livelihood of maintaining the business; if you are dependent in terms of months in getting data extracts from your IT department, you are going to lose precious time to identify opportunities and weaknesses in your operations.

Robust Reporting Tool...if the underlying data models are designed properly using Kimball principles
What do you like best about the product?
Besides being scalable for small to middle sized organisations, it actually does the performance bit better than OBIEE even for large scale companies. BO also have a better data governance framework than other tools such as OBIEE and can be truly called a multi developer friendly tool with versatile integration connectors for all major OLTP systems, be it ERP Finance or HR Management Systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool's licence are expensive but you get what you pay for. SAP's business tool licences in general have never been cheap but that ensures you get proper product support whenever needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SAP BO has good report 'bursting' capabilities sending reports to printer queues across different offices in the UK region without the performance getting bogged down like Oracle's BI Publisher. Many major reports are being sent to the departments using this tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have multiple development teams on distinct projects within the reporting team, use BO as it does have good data governance in place over other vendors.
