"The platform's data visualization features need improvement."
"The pricing of the solution should be bettered."
"It is not a good product for data visualization."
"From the point of view of strategic management, I would like to have a feature, perhaps a form after we get to the KPI dashboard, to be used to note if something unusual happens in the operations. That way we could record extreme KPI situations, and track why a number is very low or too high."
"The main problem we face is migrating all of the reports into the solution."
"It's not so flexible to do BI reporting directly from the data source without models. It is not that agile."
"It should have more self-service capabilities."
"Implementation is cumbersome and requires expertise."
"They could reduce the licensing expenses. There is nothing really wrong with the product in terms of what it does. It works well. If you are a part of BI Launch Pad, then you could run ad hoc reporting, but for the integration, you need access to BI Launch Pad, which is quite expensive. We're an organization with 18,000 employees. It is not really practical to give people access to BI Launch Pad. So, from a customer perspective, in terms of saturating our employee base, we don't really have great saturation because of the expense."
"The self-service area, or dashboard, needs some improvement. While the reporting itself is great, the dashboard and Analytics Cloud are not user friendly."
"This solution is complex to configure and administer."
"It needs to be more flexible for the end-user."
"Currently, we can use Explore to do data discovering, but cannot generate charts."
"The SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform has always struggled with dashboarding."
"The UI could be updated a bit."
"More thorough testing of Service Packs before release."
