SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI) Reviews & Product Details - Page 8

I like SAP Business Intelligence because I can use it without having a knowledge of a SQL query language. I can easy connect to my database and data tables and I can set up a easy query to export the needed data records. When I have saved my query, I can save this data to a report or a different file format which can be used to for other SQL tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a bit hard to learn how to generate all those reports. The documentation is not so clear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SAP Business Intelligence does not require a user to know SQL query language. Simply connect to the data tables and build a quick query to extract the data elements you want. Once you save your query, you can drop this data onto a report or formatted text file for data analysis in a different software. We leverage its automation to set up routine data delivery extracts to the server, thereby eliminating the dependency of I.S. personnel of setting up and running jobs.

There is a bit of a learning curve in designing reports, but I really think that is standard of all new software learning experiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system is well organized, it has all the information you need, it gives you more than enough information. I also like how each company can adjust the system to run according to their needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unless you know how to use the reports and the system, it is difficult even though the system has so much information. It would be nice if they can have a quick overview when they put the system together depending on the company needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy the user friendliness of the system. Being able to run special, and even ad box reports when I need them can be a real lifesaver and time saver when I need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I sometimes dislike the clunkiness and non user friendliness of the product. But once you get to know it and learn it things get better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love their new homepage with recently used reports, it makes it so much easier than going through all of the drop downs to find the 2 reports I use on a daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really wish you could customize the exporting layout, that way I don't have to edit it so much in excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Besides being scalable for small to middle sized organisations, it actually does the performance bit better than OBIEE even for large scale companies. BO also have a better data governance framework than other tools such as OBIEE and can be truly called a multi developer friendly tool with versatile integration connectors for all major OLTP systems, be it ERP Finance or HR Management Systems.

The tool's licence are expensive but you get what you pay for. SAP's business tool licences in general have never been cheap but that ensures you get proper product support whenever needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Running SAP BI is useful since all the information is located in one place Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not user friendly you must be trained on how to use it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BOBJ is a great tool, and builds connections very easily to SAP delivered content. It is not limited to SAP BW, and can work with data from in-house applications and SQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Per SAP, it is not the most user friendly interface. It can be difficult to learn with little documentation on what you are trying to accomplish. Also does not really allow for user-made analytics--only enterprise wide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
