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

Almost nothing. It is just not intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The platform is very slow. One million data limit is a joke and most of the charts are just not intuitive. No data science implementation such as R and Python scripts. Dashboard is not very interactive and I believe the tools needs to be rebuilt from start to finish. Not fit for purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Stopped business users from relying on Excel spreadsheet, and have one version of the truth report from SAP BusinessObjects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
