Overall Satisfaction with SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation)

We use BPC in our planning and forecasting for FP&A and consolidation for corporate reporting; as far as I know, we also use it for our international distribution.
  • Running ad-hoc reports
  • Researching on variance explanations
  • Creating standardized reports across the team
  • It'll be helpful to make the ID/description selection change a stand-alone button in the ribbon
  • Add back the option to select and copy ID's from the dimension dropdown
  • Performance has always been a concern - during busy times the system can get slow for all users, and its report is too large it can get very slow to refresh and update.
It's relatively easy to import external data into BPC as a user. Our IT also set up actuals to be loaded directly from SAP into BPC.
We have been using BPC for a very long time so this question does not apply to us.
We are heavy BPC users and use it in almost every aspect of our daily job.
