"The cost of this product, so every company is not suitable to use it. Because of the very huge amount of integrations, every organization can not use it."
"SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform should be made easier for the end-users and the performance could be improved."

SAP introduced a product called PlusTimes one or two years ago and another one that I believe was called Automatic BI. This tool is more powerful than BusinessObjects and other tools because it's provided in the cloud."
"There is still a lot to be done on the mobile side to make Web Intelligence truly seamless between the desktop and mobile versions and I would like to see SAP pay a lot more attention to this."
"It is not simple to use."
"The performance could be improved, like when we extract a large amount of data."
