Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of Salesforce Einstein Analytics are the flexibility around the deployment, overall capabilities, user-friendliness, and interactiveness with the tools that came built with it."
"The tool is a cloud-based solution capable of integrating any kind of data in the world."
"The fact that the solution is visually appealing because of its lightning interfaces can be considered one of its most valuable features"
"Salesforce Einstein Analytics is a simplified CRM. It's integration is good."
"It's scalable."
"The out-of-the-box features are good for companies that want to try analytics and data science interventions."
"The way Salesforce Einstein Analytics is structured in terms of the work assignments and the user profile is very good."
"The solution scales extremely well."
"The Dynamic HTML (DHTML) client option of Webi has been enhanced adding features that were previously only available with the Java client including conditional formatting and support of XLS as a data provider."
"We use it to identify critical KPIs to senior management."
"The most important feature of BusinessObjects is its integration with the SAP ERP system. If an organization is using SAP as its ERP system, and they want to do business intelligence, reporting, or analysis, SAP BusinessObjects is the only tool that I see doing that quite efficiently. That's because of the fact it is tightly integrated, and it gives a good user experience in terms of faster reporting. Its integration is the feature that I have found most valuable, but there are also other factors."
"I have seen improvement in our work after using the solution."
"It is more user-friendly and easier to work with the report creation part, creating reports out of an established universe. Maybe a business person could liberate the existing universe and create a report on top of it, as well. So that's one cool feature."
"We are using SAP BusinessObjects because its scheduling capabilities are more powerful than those of other tools."
"The platform uses a lot of Java technologies so the performance and system-level management are tricky because it needs a lot of resources."
"The solution can scale."

"The price of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is quite a bit expensive for the region of Mexico. I think the price of the product could be better."
"I would advise others not to customize because they rolled out the newer versions, which are every six months. There had to be some significant testing and verification that happened. It is important to have a strong third-party provider that is very experienced. We used Deloitte, but we evaluated Accenture, KPMG, and IBM, but we decided on Deloitte and that was a good decision for us. Having a partner who has a center of excellence or experts that could give you a lot of the tips that they've learned could jumpstart your deployment and stick to the standards."
"They can provide more end-user customizations. There should be the possibility for the end-users to change some elements in the interface. I have a way of doing my job. My colleague may have his own way of doing his job. If I ask for a change, it'll change for everyone. It'll be good to have some end-user personalizations. I can't see many in Salesforce right now."
"Better pricing would make it available to more users and we would likely use it more broadly within the organization."
"The tool needs to simplify its features."
"The product is natively integrated into the Salesforce ecosystem. You also need a CRM license. It should be more flexible with other platforms."
"If a user leaves your organization, you shouldn't lose the visibility of all of the records."
"They have a lot of opportunity to improve BI tools. With Einstein Analytics, we have a very minimal scope."
"We would like to see a native version of BusinessObjects and Web Intelligence created for the cloud."
"I don't like the fact that I have to use two tools. Web Intelligence is good for reporting and all kinds of stuff, but I would rather have one product. All the reporting features of Web Intelligence should be developed within Lumira. A lot of predictive abilities have been brought into the cloud version of SAP Analytics. It would be nice to see a lot of newer technologies and AI. Predictive capabilities are becoming a little more standard. Instead of having to get another model, we are just looking for one solution to deal with analytics including predictive."
"There is room for improvement in providing more user-friendly and versatile reporting options."
"The solution is not good for self-services, they can improve in this area."
"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 financial area in the solution has certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"The user interface should be easier to use and navigate."
"The SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform has always struggled with dashboarding."
