Overall Satisfaction with SAS Business Intelligence
SAS Business Intelligence provides a valuable and powerful way to allow our end-users to query our data on an ad-hoc basis. Business Intelligence allows us to present the data to our users with pre-defined joins and available data elements assisting the users in designing and executing queries without requiring additional technical assistance. This provides both a cost and time savings to our technical teams.
- Presentation of complex data in an easy-to-understand layout
- Self-service querying of data on both mobile and desktop devices
- Business Objects allows users to save report layouts for use in future queries
- Business Objects should provide a more consistent mobile/desktop interface so operation between the two is seamless
- Business Objects needs to make it easier to query across disparate data sets such as Oracle to SQL to Mongo DB
- Our installation of Business Objects does not natively allow the export of XLSX documents, only XLS
I have used Crystal Reports, Jaspersoft and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). I would recommended Business Intelligence over SSRS and Crystal Reports. SSRS is very SQL-centric and Crystal Reports is more of an end-user tool. I would recommend Jaspersoft over Business Intelligence for developing a seamless web-based reporting interface but I highly recommend Business Intelligence for end-user ad-hoc reporting.
