SAP used everywhere very difficult
What do you like best about the product?
Familiar layout and transactions across companies.
What do you dislike about the product?
Very complicated to sort data needed. Programming requests are often expensive and difficult to implement successfully if at all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick access to tracking costs is the most effective feature I have used.
A web based reporting tool
What do you like best about the product?
I was able to use it and create reports after an hour training. You can schedule and send reports to someone’s email. You can format the output within the program itself.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is still web based so you have to export it. Even though you can format the tables and add calculations it doesn’t compare to what you can create in excel. Make sure to save your work as there is no autosave and if you forget and become idle, you lose your work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Running various reports.
Databasing at it's better than averagest!
What do you like best about the product?
The robust database indexing, the search feature is really fleshed out, it's file export capabilities are great.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be clunky and crashes often, need a restart.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use BI to generate all of our daily order reports and to store all of the bills of materials and order notes from past machinery projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Handles our data base and reporting needs, I would imagine it can easily do the same for any manufacturing company.
Not worth the clicks
What do you like best about the product?
The reporting feature and the ability to add any level of data to a report is fantastic. the amount of reports now available for metrics and the detail within each is much improved from our last system. Each report can be tailored to my team, a specific sales rep, our market or the nation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Each action is broken down to the most minute detail. Adding a sales rep to workbench? That will take 15 steps/clicks. Adding trim to a new customer that will take 2 systems and 45 steps. Everything takes much more time because even the slightest 'action' has been broken down in to its own step. Enter data into the system relies heavily on internet speed and the amount of users on the system at a given time. Get in early? Fantastic the system will run well for you. As soon as 9 AM hit all users nation wide are using the system and there is a dramatic decrease in speed. Want to get something accomplished after lunch? You need to time it correctly because EVERYONE get kicked off at 1:15 and if you didn't save your work or mark as in process then that is potentially hours wasted.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are major pitfalls with reporting, some we didn't even realize until we were live on SAP. Reports can be run much faster and are more comprehensive than before.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have end users start the trial period before implementing to any part of the business.

Numerous. It plays a great role in all our reporting activities.

Experience with Business Objects
What do you like best about the product?
I have used business objects for over 2.5 years now. It is great tool for scripting and developing reports. It has easy drag and drop options to select what variable you want in your final report. If you have large number of facilities and have data stored in multiple universes, it allows you to create a combined query and get final report from multiple universes. You can send your scripts to other Individuals within your team/ For any recurring reports you can schedule them and they run whenever you've set them to run. It has some amazing quick filters that can be used while writing your script that allows you get tailored results.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel like it has some capability for visualizations but definitely lacks uniqueness and intuitiveness that other visualization tools have. In addition the process of exporting reports is quite time consuming and this is something that can be improved so it becomes more user friendly. The final reports can improve on their filter-ability so it is easier for the user to review only specific data in a more time-efficient manner. Business objects allows you to view the actual SQL script that is run for the your customized report but at times it has different names for the tables that it links to in the data warehouse which at times makes it difficult to cross validate if you want find the associated tables in your data warehouse.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this tool primarily for reporting. Easy to generate structured reports and export it out as excel report and share with the business owners. This tool allows to create and save your scripts in personal folder for ongoing use in the future. We also have some scripts saved on the public folder which other individual can access and run without actually having to recreate them. It is good tool for users who are not proficient in writing scripts in SQL or other reporting tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Improved visualization capabilities, make it more user friendly on the aspect of filtering the final reports and exporting them out from the tool.
Once you learn it, it is very helpful
What do you like best about the product?
Sap can be used for so many things. There is a fix for everything
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be hard to learn initially. Almost like a foreign language.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am delivering orders for a retail company and making sure that everything gets processed correctly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sap can do everything!!
