### "You need to take the next step."

July 1, 2021

4.0

In general it is a good tool, but it is becoming a bit outdated in the face of new alternatives.

Pros

It is a tool that can be integreted with other applications, it can also work with a lot of data and build ad hoc reports. Finally, reporting creation from information cubes is friendly when youa are heavy user.

Cons

Something that needs to be improved is the visualization of the reports, they should migrate to a more user-friendly dashboard. Another issue is that it is a bit complex to understand how it works when you just start using it.

### "Lots of layers"

April 11, 2019

5.0

I've used this platform for years and am proficient at it and because of this I'm a fan.

Pros

SAP in our business of distribution and logistics is very complex and can gather a mass of data. It excels at drilling down to fine detail and tracking of inventory and sales down to number of turns and we use all of this data to drive our business. For this it is a great platform.

Cons

Because of it's many layers and it's complexity it creates an environment where it can be cumbersome to create orders and quotes.

### "Logiciel adapté pour la recherche "

January 6, 2023

5.0

Je suis passe de l'As400 a SAP il y a 4 ans. Pour effectuer une recherche beaucoup plus sophistiqué mais simple en même temps. Créer un article et le classer, une fois que l'on maîtrise le.logiciel est finalement assez simple, mais routinier.

Pros

Faire de la recherche simple et avancée est aisée.

Cons

Logiciel assez lourd et compliqué, pas assez souple.

### "Good product, but poor support"

April 4, 2019

4.0

The applications is good and very flexible. But there is a very complicated licencing system, much like that of Oracle. Be sure that you get proper advice from SAP of your SAP Partner.

Pros

Business Objects has many capabilities, for me, the ease of publication of reports is the most important.

Cons

SAP is a large company, if you work for a relatively small company (700 people), then you have to go through a partner. The quality of these partners varies.

### "SAP - BusinessObjects Business Intelligence"

November 7, 2022

SAP é uma ferramenta complexa no início porém com dados extremamente importantes para a organização como um todo, desde vendas até o gerenciamento de estoque

Pros

A clareza das informações pertinentes a cada setor que o utiliza

Cons

Criar telas para novas necessidades da empresa, vejo como algo que leva muito tempo e necessita na maioria das vezes de um consultor

### "My experience with BusinessObjects at a few institutions has been very positive."

May 15, 2018

5.0

Improved organizational reporting.

Pros

The interface is very easy to use for all audiences, allowing us to empower basic users to run their own reports. The ability to combine database elements with custom script to customize reports is very useful.

Cons

Sometimes the report formatting can be finicky. It is very responsive but can overcompensate for small formatting (size, spacing, etc) adjustments.

December 1, 2018

4.0

Pros

Using BOBJ has been light years better than previous database front-ends that I utilized, it is full of functions andhas a much more user friendly interface.

Cons

Many of the functions are at a more basic level and require you learning their program to be able to nest them together and get the results you're looking for.

### "Nice Way to Interface with Data"

July 29, 2018

4.0

Pros

SAP Business Objects provides a nice way to interface with data, allowing both power and flexibility through its structure.

Cons

With each new version there seems to be some flaw that needs to be corrected or feature that should be added and at an enterprise level it becomes difficult to continuously deploy the updates.

### "SAP Review"

January 13, 2023

5.0

SAP offers a wide array of capabilities. I love how I can track my inventory, my tickets, and my time spent on work orders both service and request. I would definitely recommend this product although there is a bit of a learning curve.

Pros

SAP is a very powerful business tool. I can't speak to some of the features, but after getting it setup, it is awesome for using as a ticketing system. It makes it easy to track both completed and non-completed tickets. My favorite thing about SAP is that it allows you to seamlessly track inventory. It can also be used to move inventory around depending on how it is setup. I also love how everything can be simply exported from SAP into Excel.

Cons

There is a bit of a learning curve for this software. It does take a while to get use to using.

### "powerful and customizable analytics"

February 15, 2019

5.0

Establishing a culture of self service analytics within the organization with initial training and support as and when required.

Pros

SAP business objects is an easy to learn and use analytical tool especially in the context of self service analytics by end users. One is able to re-use the same query and also share the query with other users as well and modify the query at any given time for customization purposes. It is also fast.

Cons

As with any new tool, there is an initial learning curve to get ramped up - however there is fairly good documentation available for this purpose. In addition, need good network bandwidth especially when there are multiple users trying to run queries at the same time
