Does not belong to the 21st century

  • November 11, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Almost nothing. It is just not intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
The platform is very slow. One million data limit is a joke and most of the charts are just not intuitive. No data science implementation such as R and Python scripts. Dashboard is not very interactive and I believe the tools needs to be rebuilt from start to finish. Not fit for purpose.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Stopped business users from relying on Excel spreadsheet, and have one version of the truth report from SAP BusinessObjects.

Business Objects tried and true

  • November 05, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is a feature rich mature BI tool set that can achieve the vast majority of what any enterprise needs if you are primarily using Relational databases.
What do you dislike about the product?
Business Objects was primarily a Relational database reporting and analysis tool set, but since SAP bought it, there seems to be a push towards BW as the primary data source. There also seems to be a push towards non-Windows servers; why? 95% of BO installation used to be on Windows servers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's easy to automate delivery of reports in a number of formats. It replaces any number of Excel spread sheets that need manual updating. A serious time save and ensures consistency. Users get the information they need.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the core BO products for Relational data sources only. Using WebI with BW can be a serious challenge. Using Lumira with BW is decent.

Next Generation Analytics

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I use BI on a daily basis. The analysis for office add-on is what I use at my place of employment which is a pivot table and makes it easy to lay data for analysis.
What do you dislike about the product?
The errors! They usually pop up on the bottom left and are rather technical which makes deciphering rather difficult. Again, if the underlying data is flawed the output will also be flawed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use SAP to analyze our monthly business performance on a customer, material, end user level.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great software for SAP. I highly recommend considering this software for chemical businesses

What do you like best about the product?
I am a fan of business warehouse. This add on puts master data to great use and given it’s excel based the data becomes very easy to slide and dice for analytics
What do you dislike about the product?
The technical jargon on errors should be in layman’s language. Currently it makes no sense to a non technical person
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use BI to analyze our business data

Some of the problems I'm solving by using SAP Business Intelligence is housing all the user information and the ability to pull this information by multiple people on my team.
