Overall Satisfaction with SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI) Platform
SAP Business Objects Business Intelligence (BI) Platform was used for analytical reporting within the Strategy, Marketing, Operations, and Finance departments. It is used like a front-end tool to data ware systems in the back-end to query data and make analysis. It has a built-in reporting display mechanism but we have been using it for generally extracting data. Even though the report displays are getting
better and better every day, Excel, MS Power BI reports are better.
better and better every day, Excel, MS Power BI reports are better.
- Data extraction.
- Connection to the SAP universe via a good front-end.
- Should be cheaper.
- It is not easy to learn.
There is no special differentiation point. My companies were using SAP as their main ERP and therefore using the SAP BO BI for reporting and analysis purposes. Some reports were defined to be released periodically but these reports were needed for day to day information. We needed Excel and Power BI to make the data nicer to present.
