SAP Business Warehouse, a gamechanger on traditional SAP ecosystem
- SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation), SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP Datasphere
The word "against" would not be the right word to describe this question. These applications coexist and interact, as all of them play a specific role in the SAP landscape. The use of any of these applications should be aligned with the data strategy in an Organization.
Its good for data modelling and ease of reporting capabilities. Even designing base master data models is complex but once done it makes life very easy for any reporting that involves hierarchies/ text & direct/indirect attributes even. It does not have capabilities for Unstructured Data Analytics but it was never designed for that perspective. A single tool which can do ETL, Modelling & Reporting as well. As no other tool has all 3 capabilities. With help of Bex very highly formatted reporting can also be achieved in easy way.

Integrated warehouse management system
Coordination and integration with other SAP software and products, as well as its speed and simplicity in reporting, make it one of our current choices

SAP BW Review
The main reason we chose SAP was the price. SAP Business Warehouse was relatively cheaper compared to other alternatives. SAP Business Warehouse is very popular software for reporting purposes and data storage. But also, it is hard to shift to a newer software once the roots have been planted very deep throughout the company.

Inside SAP Business Warehouse
SAP Business Warehouse was our preferred route because we already work with a large suite of SAP products. The comparison between them leads me to say that QlikView allows sharing materials a little more easily with end users than SAP Business Warehouse. The main choice behind selection SAP Business Warehouse was the price.

SAP BW for Enterprise Reporting

SAP Business Warehouse rocks (only in SAP world)
SAP Business Warehouse scores higher in data warehouse functionalities for integration to SAP ERP and other SAP solutions such as SAP CRM, SAP APO, and SAP SRM. Standard SAP data source extractors which are available in SAP ERP can be used immediately for full or delta replication into SAP Business Warehouse. System governance in SAP Business Warehouse is top-notch with change management support for migration between system landscape from the development system to production system.

SAP Business Warehouse Will Streamline Any Warehouse
- SAP
SAP Business Warehouse just has better visibility on warehouse flows than some of the other SAP software. I think it is easier to use, and it makes some really great reports that are able to export to excel without much effort. This makes it easy to send customers as well as suppliers a list that they can work with and use with software that they are operating. It seems really easy to use with other systems that people have.

SAP review
We evaluated against Microsoft and database systems. SAP stands out due to simplicity to get the data coming from SAP ERP.
SAP business warehouse was chosen years ago along with our current ERP software. It currently doesn't stack up well against newer software such as IBM Cognos, or SAS Business Intelligence. The positive side, is that the software has been around for many years and it is easy to find support from other users in the community. The interface is not the best, but after all it is a SAP product.

SAP BW 7.0 Review
My client was an SAP shop client where they have SAP ECC. Using SAP BW helps them to save development time on extractors which are readily available in SAP BW. Also, the tight integration with SAP ECC helps to further reduce the time. The users here were Excel friendly so they were happy with the output format.

SAP BW
I have previously used MicroStrategy Analytics for reporting and I can confidentially say this is a better option. First, we can do all ETL in the system and not have to rely on another tool. Second, it is easy to integrate with the SAP Lumira platform which seems to be much more powerful and easy to use than MicroStrategy.
