Kevin: This is Kevin. I'm a product owner. I give SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence rating of four of five. Please click below for more reviews. We use SAP BusinessObjects to report off of our epic. Epic is our health EMR system. We use it for reporting financial, quality, operational data in both table formats, as well as some graphical. It's a pretty robust platform that we have online that could be viewed daily, weekly, monthly, and run for any timeframe by our users. It's both by users here at our company, as well as affiliate users that use our products. What I really like about SAP is it's fairly intuitive to use, so everyone from managers, directors, doctors, clinicians, as well as techs, high level and low level, it's fairly to use. It can produce items in a fairly easy to read format, as well as exportable formats, such as Excel, can be saved easily to PDFs or Word documents. It makes nice lists, as well as mining of the data for our customers. SAP could improve upon its searching mechanism. It's searching for reports within SAP BusinessObjects is pretty poor for an end user. It's fairly inflexible as far as if you want to customize it to your specifications. That's the only downsides that I see with the product.
