The Best Enterprise Business Intelligent tool
What do you like best about the product?
BO has multiple components tailored to each business need. We have Crystal reports for picture perfect reports for printing & mailing, we have Web Intelligence reporting for data analysis and ad-hoc reporting. Universe will provide better control of data restrictions, security profile implementation etc. There are hundreds of features brought in or improved over the previous versions.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is tough to master the tool and the help document is not big to explore. The formula editor is not user friendly. Too many features and categorization of the features confuse the business user who want to do ad-hoc reporting by himself. The issues in Universes creation takes lot of time for report designer
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I worked on BO projects for multiple clients, both on relational and SAP. BO is the only tool which can effectively help to handle thousands of users working on multiple clients. The slice & dice, the drill through and the charts and many other feature make it most adapted Bi tool for many clients across the different industries.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Unlike data visualization, you are looking for enterprize BI then BO is the best.
