Business Intelligence Made Easy

  • September 15, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoyed the drag and drop query capability. When I was using Business Objects, I did not write SQL, and this interface allowed me to pull data in a user-friendly and intuitive way.
What do you dislike about the product?
Graphing was a nice bonus feature, but I tended to do this outside of Business Objects because updating charts was a time suck. Also, scheduling reports made my life easier but I found that some reports would fail with regularity (and these were simple data pulls that should not have been a drain on the system).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Extracting data from Business Objects allowed me to automate data pulls so I was ready to compile reports as soon as the workday began, and also allowed me to automatically send reports to leaders so they could keep a pulse on their areas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for users who don't write SQL. Sub-queries were a great asset for pulling data without duplication.

Great variety of reporting system but has its faults

  • August 30, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that the reports seem to be full of options to tailor them to your specific needs. There are endless varieties of formatting and information that can be showed in meaningful ways.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the ways to run reports are not intuitive. The amount of formatting options can be overwhelming and sometimes needed functions are hard to find. Not all reports being live make it hard to remember which need constant refreshing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business Objects helps track when orders come in, tracking shipping, and identifying financial issues among reports
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure to receive lengthy and thorough training.

Easy to create reports

  • August 29, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to build reports with the BO tool, drag and drop entities you need once you create/choose the right database/universe
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't cross reference between universes or databases if information you need is not built in the same environment, then you have to build a whole new table to bring all of the data together
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
running quick reports when needed, doesn't have to go to an IT resource all the time for reports

A bit Comolex but Useful

  • August 29, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
There is so much information in Business Objects and you can really find anything you need to make your sales case
What do you dislike about the product?
Because there is so much information, sometimes you can get caught up in the numbers. Would be better if you can open in excel easier as well
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solution based selling
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Know what you are trying to say with the data before pulling it, as the info can be too broadscaled and comolex to make sense of unless you know what you're specifically looking for
