What do you like best about SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI)?

SAP BusinessObjects invented "ad hoc" analytics with Desktop & Web Intelligence (WEBi), back in the mid-90's.

With 20 years of customers (over 3 million users) and solid data governance, WEBi is still the de facto standard for ad hoc analytics.

Together with Crystal Reports SAP BusinessObjects owns over 20% of the world-wide BI marketshare - according to Gartner.

With SAP HANA - Business Objects customers are able to take advantage of in-memory for accelerated analytics performance and reduced cycle time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI)?

SAP seems to place a large focus on ERP which is understandable. Howver there is an opportunity to invest more heavily on the proven analytics platform tools, including WEBi and Crystal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI):

SAP is investing heavily in HANA. Consider this approach for dramatic in-memory performance improvements (reduced cycle times, improved query speed). Also consider Cloud for Analytics if you prefer SaaS applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reduced data integration cost

Improved data quality

Business benefits realized across revenue (up-sells, cross-sells leveraging available data), improved customer service. All areas of the business have been positively impacted with easier access to quality data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
