### "Decent but not great"

March 16, 2018

4.0

Pros

We had 4 admins users and all we able to login at the same time. It is fairly easy to learn and use unlike SAP Enterprise

Cons

Expensive. Also we struggled to get the visuals setup properly, like graphs, charts, etc. Also not happy with our SAP partner's support in getting this up and running. Too slow and too long to respond

### "Handy BI Tool"

July 8, 2020

5.0

I do rely on this software quite a bit to extract my information.

Pros

Sap BI warehouse is great to pull out data required for processing and analysing. It allows you to filter and cut information before it is exported.

Cons

It can be a bit clunky to use and slow at times. It is an old piece of software however there are faster alternatives.

November 11, 2016

4.0

In a previous experience working with a consulting company for seven years, we delivery Business Objects in differentes companies.

The potential benefits of business Objects programs include accelerating and improving decision making; optimizing internal business processes and increasing operational efficiency

Pros

It's a very robust tool Very easy to use. It´s a very intuitive tool

Cons

Support is really weak. Tool is little expensive.

### "Great tool for reports"

December 17, 2016

5.0

BusinessObjects is all about making it easy for end users to create their own reports. Once your data is set up in the Universes, it's drag and drops on to the report. you can format it with colors or different fonts. Simply drag whatever dimensions you want onto the report and then create different filters or formulas to get the desired results. Super simple for users to get the reports they need.

### "Very powerful BI tool, but not very user friendly"

June 9, 2017

3.0

Pros

The set of tools for BI it includes is good. We used just WEBI. It is really powerful for Data extraction purposes and we could match our information needs without much problems.

Cons

I feel that the WEBI interface is not very user friendly. At least for our type of reports. The navigation through the different reports was not smooth enough.

Business Objects is most easy to use and felexible solution in Analytics. It can easily bring in data from any relational or data warehouse system so that you can analyse data quickly.

It has also various functionalities where you can send the updated report directly to the users email with latest data. You can also personalise the data dependending on the user and it's role. It provides mobile as well desktop solution for analysing the data. Data can be analysed using various predefined charts by simply dragging charts.

Overall SAP is a very useful system. There is a ton of modules we are not taking advantage of with SAP. SAP is an easy system to use to create BOMS, ROUTINGS, COSTING, Etc. It is user friendly, but there is a lot more we need to learn about the system.
