"The integration and query capabilities can be improved."
"I would like it if Databricks made it easier to set up a project."
"The product needs samples and templates to help invite users to see results and understand what the product can do."
"Instead of relying on a massive instance, the solution should offer micro partition levels. They're working on it, however, they need to implement it to help the solution run more effectively."
"There is room for improvement in the documentation of processes and how it works."
"Some of the error messages that we receive are too vague, saying things like "unknown exception", and these should be improved to make it easier for developers to debug problems."
"The integration features could be more interesting, more involved."
"The integration of data could be a bit better."
"Its price should be better. It is expensive and not cost-effective. It should also be improved in terms of end-user experience. It requires further improvements for usability and ease of use. It should have more dashboarding metrics and much faster integration with ERP so that when you double click, you can instantly see the scenario-based result."
"SAP BusinessObjects is actually losing popularity within our company because people find the user interface and the way things are set up not to be as easy as many other tools that are on the market, like Qlik and things like that."
"It could be a lighter solution."
"The solution can improve by having more analytical features."
"The financial area in the solution has certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"Over the years, the product tends to rename and rebrand itself and change its direction. This is a deficit of the solution."
"This product could be improved with Cloud Integrations and Predictive Analytics functions integration."
"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."
