SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence

Vorteile

Funktioniert einwandfrei und ist wirklich sehr gut

Nachteile

Keine besonderen. Der Preis ist aber sehr hoch.

Vorteile

SAP BO provides a vast array of capabilities for using data across our companies' systems and provides expansive tools to process and display our data. SAP BO allows us to use large amounts of data across multiple instances (such as EWM, S4, etc.) and consume the data quickly and easily. It also allows for many different reporting designs, formats, and use cases for our reporting needs

Nachteile

SAP BO is a complex system that sometimes requires knowledge of the schema integration in order to solve issues. This does not allow for everyday users that are not power users to self-service issues and can lead to a developer backlog. Also, our company has run into issues that were only able to be solved by SAP and there was a large lead time in waiting for a solution.

Vorteile

Most like about SAP reporting and visualization capabilities in our daily routine

Nachteile

Most like least about managing users, especially for large development

Vorteile

SAP is good for basic inventory tracking and issuing goods etc.

Nachteile

The user interface is very poor and outdated, even just to print a screen of an inventory list you have to open a separate window rather than print from that page.

Vorteile

We enjoyed using SAP Business because so far it is the only software that we have found that allows us to put together decent, attractive and factual data reports easily and that can analyze data as well. SAP Business has also helped us alot to identify weak spots in our marketing with its amazing analysis tools, it helps us fill in the gaps to stay on top of all the new upcoming trends on the market for our industry. It can be shared shared among us no matter where we are so that we can all work on the same data as a team. We enjoyed using SAP Business because it has the capability to process a large amount of data quickly and helps us put that data into visual graphs that are able to show us real time data that has been analyzed. It can be easily intergrated with Microsoft office as we use power point for alot of our presentations, it allows us the ability to export from PowerPoint to SAP. It easily intergrates with other SAP platforms for more extra functions. It has been great for day to day use and has made us look more professional with their creative interactive graphs and self service capabilities.

Nachteile

What we least like about SAP is that it can not be used by just anyone a bit of computer literacy is needed as some functions and instructions are a bit hard to understand with out some computer literacy.

Vorteile

I have been using SAP Business for reporting and data visualization, and it has been very helpful in meeting our organization's requirements. We have connected it with multiple databases such as DB2 and Sybase, and its data storage capabilties are quite robust. The platform is undoubtedly powerful and capable of handling heavy tasks with ease.

Nachteile

The learning curve is long, training is needed to be able to handle it properly, the user interface needs improvement, so that it is easier and more intuitive to use.

Vorteile

Super easy to get things done, such as training

Nachteile

Sometimes difficult to navigate, in my personal opinion

Vorteile

SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence is full of functions and features to control and monitor business, and high ability of customization.

Nachteile

We face two concerns about it, the limitation of integrations with non-SAP modules. and its price is expensive.

Vorteile

I appreciate above all its flexibility when I need to create ad hoc reports.It's very powerful, even if a bit complicated at the begining, and it really allows business users to drill down into data and get the information they need.

Nachteile

It requires an adequate training in order to use it at its best.It's a bit complicated, especially to understand all its functionalities and reporting capabilities.

Vorteile

It's intergrated in Microsoft Excel, so I can use all function of Excel on the data download by SAP Business Object.
Normally we have to go to the web version of the reporting tool and download report one by one, but with SAP business Object (Analysis Office), we can insert the data source one time, format it, do calculation with it (using all other Excel function). The next time when you need to update the data. Just simply refresh data source in your formatted file. All data are refreshed while your calculation/format are still there.
You can even write Excel VBA to load data with Analysis Office. It saves you a lot of time to download all reports based on different filter criterion.

Nachteile

First, it takes time to load if the data is too bid
Second, there is a limit (55 000 lines) on Excel. You can, of course, change the limit, but not everybody knows how to do it (or allowed to do it)
Thirdly, the prompts are not so well-designed and user-friendly. I normally have to scroll down a lot to find the filter. (imagine you have 10 different sheet, scrolling down will take long time).
Fourthly, VBA and Analysis Office are quite complicated to use and the trouble-shooting is quite annoying.

Vorteile

The ease at which the reports can be run and downloaded is very good. The extraction can be done in both pdf and excel depending on the requirement. The reports which have been run also show the specifications used in the reporting for the approver to verify.

Nachteile

The scheduler is not very simple and might require some user guide to understand and schedule the reports. Also, the inbox reports tend to disappear at times and then have to be re-put in inbox.

Vorteile

Ease of use and fast in generating reports

Nachteile

Refresh time needs to be improved particularly to fix issues or errors

Vorteile

It's very good and helpful software in business point of view

Nachteile

It is easy to use and there is no and drawback

Vorteile

Easy to use Tools and Data analysis Kits

Nachteile

Need to adopt some dynamic features like Tableau and Power BI

What I least like about the software is the feature is the delete certain information that not needed for good.

Vorteile

Using BOBJ has been light years better than previous database front-ends that I utilized, it is full of functions andhas a much more user friendly interface.

Nachteile

Many of the functions are at a more basic level and require you learning their program to be able to nest them together and get the results you're looking for.

Vorteile

SAP is a very powerful business tool. I can't speak to some of the features, but after getting it setup, it is awesome for using as a ticketing system. It makes it easy to track both completed and non-completed tickets. My favorite thing about SAP is that it allows you to seamlessly track inventory. It can also be used to move inventory around depending on how it is setup. I also love how everything can be simply exported from SAP into Excel.

Nachteile

There is a bit of a learning curve for this software. It does take a while to get use to using.

Vorteile

SAP business objects is an easy to learn and use analytical tool especially in the context of self service analytics by end users. One is able to re-use the same query and also share the query with other users as well and modify the query at any given time for customization purposes. It is also fast.

Nachteile

As with any new tool, there is an initial learning curve to get ramped up - however there is fairly good documentation available for this purpose. In addition, need good network bandwidth especially when there are multiple users trying to run queries at the same time

Vorteile

excellent user friendly tool with easy to use features

Development seems bit deep dig process which takes a long time for customizations

Vorteile

The ease of use with universes to hold all of the needed data for reporting purposes. The ability to combine many reports from different universes into one report for easy running and maintenance.

Nachteile

The inability to have more than two cross tab columns on one report. The only workaround I could find was concatenating multiple fields so that all information would show up. The timeout of your user id as you work.

Vorteile

Es una plataforma muy completa que al tener un copilador de diferentes módulos cada uno dedicado a varios procesos que comprende en la empresa. A ser una plataforma separada por módulos permite trabajar de forma descentralizada. Además su interfaz escalonada es muy practica para organizar los documentos y archivos.

Nachteile

Es forma general es un software muy completo esto hace que su implementación en la empresa sea muy demandante para los trabajadores debido a su gran oferta de opciones es necesario un capacitación al persona o de ser necesario un tiempo de riesgo.

Vorteile

A possibilidade de visualizar e analisar todos os dados da empresa em um único lugar, facilitando a tomada de decisões estratégicas.

Nachteile

O que menos gostou no SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence foi uma complexidade de uso e uma curva de aprendizado.

Vorteile

In the context of self-service analytics by end users, SAP Business Objects Business Intelligence is a simple to learn and use analytical tool. The same query can be used repeatedly, shared with other users, and changed at any time for customized needs.

Nachteile

Learning how to utilize it could be a little challenging, but once you do, it's really pretty helpful.

I really like the simplicity and interactive visuals it provides. The KPI measurement is really good and real time reporting is quite useful.

Vorteile

SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence from the short time that I used it and learned from its multiple functions, I must highlight its ability to collect, transform and visualize data from various sources in reports and interactive dashboards, as a work team these functions seemed impressive to us. In addition, this tool helped us with a wide range of functionalities, from standard reporting to advanced data analysis, which allowed us to deepen our understanding of the business and thus have a clear understanding of the company to work on. any area where data analysis and understanding is required.

Nachteile

To be honest, I did not find such negative points about this tool, just external things such as how difficult it was to learn to use it, but this already depends on other factors external to it.

Vorteile

It allows you to have targeted and easily consultable reports

Nachteile

It is too fragmentary a product with many different components which make it not very intuitive to use

Vorteile

Uno dei vantaggi si SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence è la scalabilità che si estende non solo a livello di front-end del programma ma ance al numero di licenze, gli applicativi utilizzati e l’infrastruttura.

It is flexible to run on any of the popular databases such as MS-SQL or Oracle and it is a stable software requiring little intervention from system administrators, usually once setup it runs trouble free.

Nachteile

It is complex to setup and requires more extensive training for the system administrators to operate it in the background. Also it is an expensive software and requires additional licensing from Oracle or any database developer which then adds more high cost to it.

Vorteile

SAP BI is a very dynamic and user friendly tool.
SAP BI helps in developing data queries and analyze data. SAP BI save lots of time and efforts while creating reports.
The best features in SAP BI are:

Nachteile

Although SAP BI is very powerful tool and easy to integrate with the SAP ERP system but have following limitations:
- Sometimes real time data synchronization takes time that leads to difference in actual and reporting figures
- Training and understanding of SAP BI takes time and efforts

Vorteile

For an SAP environment, this is best tool for reporting, since it can be connected effectively with SAP

Nachteile

The connectivity of this tool with non SAP tools is not straight forward or simple

Vorteile

SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence is an incredibly comprehensive and feature-rich BI solution. It provides users with an array of tools for data analysis, reporting, and visualization, making it easy to identify trends and insights from data. The software also offers customizable dashboards and intuitive user interface, allowing users to quickly and easily access the data they need.

Nachteile

While SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence is a great tool for data analysis, it can be expensive and difficult to set up. Additionally, it requires a significant amount of technical knowledge in order to get the most out of the software.

Vorteile

SAP BusinessObjects is one of the best reporting tool. The tool can be well integrated with one of your main database (in our case it was Flexcube) to produce a number of reports for your clients and investors. It's very much easy to use and requires little or no training for the users to implement. Probably, one of the best features of this application is it's report scheduler which can schedule your reports as per your prompts and you can easily have them saved in a particular drive of your choice.

Nachteile

One of the critical issues that I encountered while using SAP BusinessObjects is it inbox reporting. Most of the reports for a user would be available as Global reports however certain specific customised reports are sent to the inbox of the user where that user can only run the same report and will not be available for other users. While accessing the inbox reports, we often encountered issues where the user was not able to run the report or the report will get deleted automatically after some time or the report output will be very slow.
