Limited capabilities with respect to data transformation, GUI is also not much attracted compared to other tools in the market. Pricing is also high compare to other solutions in the market.

we are using SAP BO as a legacy reporting tool and were moving the new requirements to Qlikview/Tableau/PowerBI. Crystal reports were migrated to SAP BO as Crystal reports required high maintenance.

What do you like best about the product?

SAP business objects business intelligence is user friendly, it's easy to make a manual out of it!

What do you dislike about the product?

I think because of it's integration with accounting systems to different locations, there are functions that blocked by another user and cannot be used by another user.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's very helpful when it's comes to analysis especially when the data is with complexity. It's easy to determine and to present data which can be understand by the users of the information.

A solid tool that makes Querying Data much easier.

Reviewed on Sep 24, 2021

Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?

It makes it easy for my team to pull already processed data.

What do you dislike about the product?

The queries often break and pulling in the data can be very slow for more complex data pulls

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have been able to quickly build out complex queries that would not be easily possible in SQL. We can run these queries on a schedule or ad-hoc at any time.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you have an SAP data set-up, I would recommend having your business look into setting up Business Objects. It can make your life pulling in data a lot easier and require less SQL expertise.

Easy to use, commonly known reporting tool

Reviewed on Jun 09, 2021

Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?

SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI) offers a lot of features to its users. The most used functionalities are report scheduling, query building, retrieving queries built by other users, accessing different databases, building dashboards, and generating data exports. These are the functionalities that I like the best.

What do you dislike about the product?

First-time users need training on basic data querying. Also, users need to know which universes, data tables, data fields that they need to execute the queries. The data formatting can be challenging for users (using different data separators).

The upgrade process of SAP BO is very tricky. User experience may decline two years after the initial installation. And at some point, the SAP BO becomes just a data query tool. At that point, people start using Excel to visualize the data.

In summary, I don't particularly appreciate reformating data or using an outdated version of the SAP BO because of undone upgrades. The major downside is, however only experienced users can start using it on day one.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

This tool helps the controlling, finance, and marketing departments of organizations. It enables users to visualize, analyze the collected data in ERP systems. It can access not only SAP systems but also other third-party systems.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I recommend that organizations reserve their controlling departments as power users of SAP BO. These power users should create training, user manuals for other users within the organization.
