SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence – Bewertungsseite 2

Vorteile

I love most everything about BusinessObjects. It's a great way for our employees to self-service in many cases as previously they had no way to get access to larger data sets unless they put in a request with analytics. But now our Directors have access to data and reports at their fingertips with minimal training (they don't need an in-depth understanding of databases or SQL queries to use the software).

Nachteile

A con that is worth mentioning is that exporting large data sets can be a bit slow. But the ease of use and other benefits definitely outweigh that.

Vorteile

Molto utile per il reporting e analisi dati

Nachteile

Poco intuitivo, di difficile utilizzo e comprensione. Per utilizzare le varie funzionalità è necessario conoscere le transazioni ed avere un minimo di esperienza nel settore. Tutte le guide o i tutorial sono principalmente in lingua inglese e poco chiare

Vorteile

A clareza e organização da informação produtiva da empresa numa plataforma de uso simples.

Nachteile

A necessidade de aquisição de diferentes modulos para novas necessidades que a empresa vá demonstrando

Vorteile

I love the scheduling feature of the reports wherein you can easily schedule reports to be executed on a particular day.

Nachteile

Reports with data more than 1 lakh rows takes a lot of time and even crashes sometimes

Vorteile

Lo sviluppo consente di fare qualsiasi cosa ma è molto impegnativo

Vorteile

We use SAP BusinessObjects in order to track both operational and strategic company KPI's. The dashboards are very easy to customize. BI tool is very helpful in order to make forecasts.

Nachteile

Data export is not offered. Dashboards are really helpful. But sometimes user can need to export the data in excel form.

Vorteile

At first, the software is looking complicated, but using it very easier after passing an induction

allow exporting data to another tool for further exploitation, good data cleaning and KPI monitoring

easy to set up , handle and customize

Nachteile

the cost of the license is as high as it cant allow small-scale business to buy and use

Vorteile

Complete product from Giant Vendor and has a great Echo system, Good for Complex/Huge Data Analysis models, Mass Publishing is a great advantage with this Product as i dont see this much of handy with any other Front end products, Robust model, With Design Studio and Lumira it could be a great product to integrate with any kind business model

Nachteile

Increasing number of tools in the suit confusing customers to choose what for what, Bit Expensive compare to other Reporting products, Recovery is not simple as we think in Failure cases, It requires huge amount of Hardware resources to build a medium/Large landscape, not simple as an end user product for all type of Developments...

Vorteile

In Business Objects the way you can build Universe and expose that as a self service tool for users to build their own reports gives it a cutting edge compared to other reporting tools. Being a SAP tool the customer support is good and it integrates well with other cloud platforms.

Nachteile

The look and feel is not that great and it cannot match the dashboard features which are present in other reporting tools like for example Tableau.

Vorteile

The scope advantages and the ability to link the data available in our organization by SAP BusinessObjects has allowed us to optimize the administrative and operational processes in a way that allows us to access the correct information.

Nachteile

I do not have negative opinions of the tool, within the organization has been very useful the use of it.

Vorteile

SAP BusinessObjects is a wide collection of softwares that businesses can use to handle different functions such as reporting, business analytics, forecasting, etc.

Based on my experience, the softwares are easy to use with interactive graphical user interface. Also, with its point and click functionality, new users can easily familiarize with the system. In addition, the ability to customize the system for more advanced users is absolutely commendable. Few systems are flexible enough like SAP BusinessObjects. The integration of SQL Database Management makes it easier for more advanced users to customize the system according to the company's needs and demands.

Nachteile

Since the software is mostly Window-based, computers using other programming language might have some difficulty in using the system. The wide variety of functionality also makes it a little bit confusing with new users especially those with no knowledge of SQL syntax.

Vorteile

The speed and ease of using SAP BI in c comfortable format (we use the Excel Inrerface)

Nachteile

Sometime a pre-existing BI report does blow up and it leaves the report without a connection to BI. Report has to be recreated - no recovery.

Vorteile

It is a tool that can be integreted with other applications, it can also work with a lot of data and build ad hoc reports. Finally, reporting creation from information cubes is friendly when youa are heavy user.

Nachteile

Something that needs to be improved is the visualization of the reports, they should migrate to a more user-friendly dashboard. Another issue is that it is a bit complex to understand how it works when you just start using it.

Vorteile

1. It is a massive BI tool which can support thousands of reports within the company
2. The security implementation is much far advanced
3. The different tools of the package WebI, Crystal, analytical tools serves/covers all needs
4. Lot of intelligence applied building this software and latest versions 4.2 is much advanced and feature rich
5. It also has ETL tool BODS providing end to end solution
6. It connects to all most all RDBS databases

Nachteile

1. Platform administration is too challenging
2. software version and patch takes lot of time
3. Too many features sometime confuses the developer and users (till there is scope for user friendly)
4. New release are too late and other side competitor like Tableau are moving very fast
5. Lumira still lacks lot than equivalent competitor tools

Vorteile

Muy sencilla de usar a pesar de las diversas opciones y la gran amplitud con la que cuenta este programa

Nachteile

No tengo ningun comentario negativo ya que sin esta herramienta no podria manejar la informacion de los empleados

Vorteile

KPI review is showing daily life of performance linked to IOT activities in the Industry 4.0 times

Nachteile

Due to re-planning of tasks , targets would be change in the operation. Follow up of changes and tracking of trend must be more visible with reasons why target is changed and until when old target was valid.

Vorteile

The publication of certain financial and logistical information is very fast because all the data is available almost in real time.

Nachteile

Management tool requiring a relatively high learning curve

Vorteile

SAP Business objects is great for storage, creation, and reports sharing. It allows us to use real time business data and prepare reports from real time data for making business major decisions.
Reports creation could be difficult for the beginners, since there is a long learning curve to master all it´s functionalities. But once you´re there, you realized how powerful this tool is.

Nachteile

SAP support service is not the best in my opinion. Long response times, and sometimes they don´t offer effective solutions to our problems.

Vorteile

The Best 5 main modules :

1. Payable Accounts
2.Ledger
3.Cash Management
4.Assets generally Fixed.
5.Receivable Accounts

Nachteile

It has no such least like thing but, takes more time in database updates.

Vorteile

SAP in our business of distribution and logistics is very complex and can gather a mass of data. It excels at drilling down to fine detail and tracking of inventory and sales down to number of turns and we use all of this data to drive our business. For this it is a great platform.

Nachteile

Because of it's many layers and it's complexity it creates an environment where it can be cumbersome to create orders and quotes.

Vorteile

SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence connects seamlessly with SAP backend. It can connect very well to SAP BW, SAP ECC etc which is always a challenge for other non SAP tools.

Nachteile

Connecting to Non SAP databases need some additional efforts.

Vorteile

Flessibilità (si adatta a diversi usi), intuitivo il modo di fare query e interrogare il database

Nachteile

Si rallenta molto durante i refresh e non è ancora ben integrato con l'office suite/ altri software

Vorteile

Faire de la recherche simple et avancée est aisée.

Nachteile

Logiciel assez lourd et compliqué, pas assez souple.

Vorteile

Business Objects has many capabilities, for me, the ease of publication of reports is the most important.

Nachteile

SAP is a large company, if you work for a relatively small company (700 people), then you have to go through a partner. The quality of these partners varies.

Vorteile

A clareza das informações pertinentes a cada setor que o utiliza

Nachteile

Criar telas para novas necessidades da empresa, vejo como algo que leva muito tempo e necessita na maioria das vezes de um consultor

Vorteile

The interface is very easy to use for all audiences, allowing us to empower basic users to run their own reports. The ability to combine database elements with custom script to customize reports is very useful.

Nachteile

Sometimes the report formatting can be finicky. It is very responsive but can overcompensate for small formatting (size, spacing, etc) adjustments.

Vorteile

SAP Business Objects provides a nice way to interface with data, allowing both power and flexibility through its structure.

Nachteile

With each new version there seems to be some flaw that needs to be corrected or feature that should be added and at an enterprise level it becomes difficult to continuously deploy the updates.

Vorteile

Sap business object is very ease to use for end user.there are someR very useful and user friendly tools which can be operate or handle by end user like web intelligence , explorer, lumira etc.

In other end, there are other functionality and tools like dashboard,design studio , information design tool.

Sap business object is platform independent and robust.

Having great features of drill down,dynamic receipent ,enterprise recipient.

Nachteile

Sap business object , for create the universe need knowldge of database and query and fundametals.

Vorteile

The software help to have a look on metrics, looking on KPI and keep focus on the objectives. Good customer support to handle the software

Nachteile

Handling and customizing the tool need a training

Vorteile

Possibility to schedule a report with different parameter and send it by mail to different user.
You can send a report in many format (xlsx, Pdf, etc)
Triggers features when you schedule a report

Nachteile

Administration is not easy, many services to check every day.
Consume a lot of Memory and CPU.
In case of crash, the reinstallation is very difficult and too long.

Vorteile

Once it's been implemented for the entire company it integrates every aspect smoothly. The ability to link every part of the business is invaluable. From HR to logistics to production, managing warehouse inventory cost saving are realized.

Nachteile

Implementation can be tricky if the people setting it up dont take the time to learn the business from one end to the other. It takes a team working in unison to develop a fully functional system. I've seem great things from SAP and I've seen a company sinking from a poor implementation.

Vorteile

What I like most about SAP BI is that it is able to store a massive amount of data, allows use of several measures/facts and market breaks, and is very secure as I know our data is always safe and protected.

Nachteile

What I like least, however, would be that system processing is quite slow (takes a lot of time loading data), user interface is not too friendly/appealing/easy to navigate, and the tool is quite rigid in that it does not allow for much customization

Vorteile

The overall architecture of BO XI (with UDT v14.2.7.3130) is intuitive to understand. Most of my experience, however, has been using it with derived tables for more flexibility in the clinical trial space. This is one of the features that I like because it allows me to not only deliver custom reports but also standardized reports that integrate data from different sources.

Nachteile

I think that BO's lack of OLAP functionality could use some beefing up. In my company, it's usually BO, Spotfire or Tableau that are used for reporting. If BO had OLAP capabilities, processes within the company that rely heavily on other tools may also change to account for that.

Vorteile

Non ti abbandona mai, completo e affidabile

Nachteile

Inizialmente poco intuitivo ma si fa subito perdonare

Vorteile

Practicality in generating reports and the possibility of using larg volumes of data

Nachteile

Sometimes it takes a long time to generate the bases

Vorteile

We use SAP Business Objects in conjunction with Crystal Reports to provide web based links for our employees to run on their own within the constraints of the parameters. I like that it is easy to navigate and sort by file name. The organization of information is clear and straightforward and it is easy to customize how you want to see things.

Nachteile

I wish there were options to add certain columns to your view. For example if I want to sort by name or last update, I can, no problem. But if i want to get any details on frequency or last time a user ran a report, i have to either go into the settings or run a report.

Vorteile

Me gusta que todas las transacciones (o la mayoría) están conectadas y crean un flujo de procesos muy armonioso.

Nachteile

La realización de tareas tiene tanto detalles pequeños que se pueden pasar por alto y que son muy importantes

Vorteile

Option to customize reports,
Easy to integrate with existing SAP framework

Nachteile

Complex UI and slow processing (specially when data points are high)

Vorteile

Cloud benefits, Personalized, Self-Service, Great analysis

Nachteile

Should work on expanding more features and allow more flexibility.

Vorteile

I like the drag and drop option at SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence which allows me to move windows and dashboards anywhere. Also, it allows me to fully control the graphs from assigning labels and legends to controlling the layout and format.

Nachteile

There are a few documentation and tutorial online about SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence which makes it hard to learn. There is no web-based version of SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence. Also, it is too expensive to buy the software.

Vorteile

El nivel de almacenamiento de datos es muy alto y muy util
