"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's initial setup was straightforward."
"The main features of this solution are that it is easy to use, intuitive, and user-friendly.

"It's easy to use for business analysts."
"It doesn't have many frills and is definitely older technology, but it is undeniably a workhorse."
"It allows the analysis of business data and enables decisions based on the analysis."
"This reporting and broadcasting solution has a lot of flexibilities and can connect to multiple source systems."
"BusinessObjects can handle a lot of usage on the front end, and many users can view these reports. It's a relatively stable and secure tool."
"It gives you a lot of flexibility in designing your dashboards."
"If I were to compare it with Power BI and I wanted to build proper well-formatted reports, BusinessObjects Business Intelligence does that much better. Power BI is just getting into that space. They've concentrated more on visualization, which is what the SAP Lumira does. With Web Intelligence, you are able to build reports that users can interact with. They can also do a lot of querying themselves. It is robust in terms of security and integration. It is also quite scalable."
"The most valuable feature we have found to be the SAP BW, which is a warehouse tool. Additionally, it is an easy tool to use."
"The feature that allows pivot users to create the report dashboards and run them when they want with a lot of flexibility with the drill-downs is very useful. The drill-down features are very good because, in other solutions, such as Excel, you have to create separate pivot tables and a lot of other operations to do drill-downs. SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform tool does the drill-downs automatically. Overall the solution is user-friendly and has a lot of drag and drop features."
"It provides flexibility for creating reports. It is very good for creating highly-complex reports. I like this solution because when I buy BusinessObjects, it comes with many components, such as reporting, dashboard, and data visualization tools. Its performance is good. It is running on top of SAP BW and SAP HANA."

"In our organization, we feel that data visualization for APIs is an area in which the solution lacks."
"One feature I would definitely like to see is the ability to provide the in-memory data. Oracle might have some plugins but, as of now, that feature isn't available out-of-the-box. You might have to purchase that feature."
"n the beginning it had it's stability issues, but it became stable."
"There should be more integration in the solution. For example, there should be one solution with multiple functionalities so that other solutions are not needed. Having one solution with all the needed functionality would be helpful."
"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."
"I would like to see enhancements in tracking, debugging, and flexibility."
"It was a little bit tedious to install a new release."
"Particularly on the Cloud, a lot of functionality has yet to be ported."
"The self-service area, or dashboard, needs some improvement. While the reporting itself is great, the dashboard and Analytics Cloud are not user friendly."
"The platform should be a bit more user-friendly."
"Its data visualization tool is not as good as Power BI and Tableau. Currently, for data visualization, you need to spend more money to buy another solution such as Power BI or Tableau. It is also very hard to integrate it with other third-party solutions. Its integration with other solutions should be improved."
"The combination of Lumira along with Design Studio merger last year still needs development from a visualization standpoint."
"The performance could be improved, like when we extract a large amount of data."
"When we implemented BusinessObjects, the setup was straightforward. After SAP bought BusinessObjects, it gradually became more and more stepwise. There are too many steps, and they take too much time."
"The financial area in the solution has certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
