What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Recommendations to others considering the product:
For faster access of data you can use this tool.
Easy to use, commonly known reporting tool
What do you like best about the product?
SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI) offers a lot of features to its users. The most used functionalities are report scheduling, query building, retrieving queries built by other users, accessing different databases, building dashboards, and generating data exports. These are the functionalities that I like the best.
What do you dislike about the product?
First-time users need training on basic data querying. Also, users need to know which universes, data tables, data fields that they need to execute the queries. The data formatting can be challenging for users (using different data separators).
The upgrade process of SAP BO is very tricky. User experience may decline two years after the initial installation. And at some point, the SAP BO becomes just a data query tool. At that point, people start using Excel to visualize the data.
In summary, I don't particularly appreciate reformating data or using an outdated version of the SAP BO because of undone upgrades. The major downside is, however only experienced users can start using it on day one.

This tool helps the controlling, finance, and marketing departments of organizations. It enables users to visualize, analyze the collected data in ERP systems. It can access not only SAP systems but also other third-party systems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend that organizations reserve their controlling departments as power users of SAP BO. These power users should create training, user manuals for other users within the organization.
