Robust Reporting Tool...if the underlying data models are designed properly using Kimball principles

  • December 28, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SAP BO has good report 'bursting' capabilities sending reports to printer queues across different offices in the UK region without the performance getting bogged down like Oracle's BI Publisher. Many major reports are being sent to the departments using this tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have multiple development teams on distinct projects within the reporting team, use BO as it does have good data governance in place over other vendors.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company runs reports to understand the overall customer information as well as bill our customer through this system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to understand the report you need from BI, this will help remove all the unnecessary information you may need. In addition, make sure you ask your company to have someone that can train you since SAP BI can be custom built based on your company needs.
