"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."

"Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features."
"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."
"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"Our Qlikview applications help us to get a good idea of our Client Base Performance and assist us in the decision making for Seasonal Specials. On the other hand QlikView helps us to get a grasp on our Suppliers and helps us to negotiate pricing with them."

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."
"SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform's most valuable features are it has a great presentation layer. We can develop the presentation layer with drag-and-drop capabilities. For end-users and for our interns in the company can create reports and do their data analysis processes or works by using the objects that we created on the presentation layer by themselves."
"We find that we can scale it as needed."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that we are able to build all dashboards with self-service BI and are able to provide our business users with self-service BI. We are building a repository on top of our data warehouse and building all the dashboards and KPIs."

"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"It needs work with visualization."
"They could improve the speed."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"The solution is quite costly."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"Error handling."
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."
"SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is lacking dashboards and this would be the only reason we are looking for another solution."
"The interface could be slicker and more user-friendly."
"I would like to see their data visualization products enhanced and made more robust and easier to implement."
"It is limited for us because SAP is shifting toward the cloud, and we can't use a cloud solution for SAP BusinessObjects. 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."
"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."
"Technical support may not always be timely or effective."
"We would like to see a native version of BusinessObjects and Web Intelligence created for the cloud."
"This product could be improved with Cloud Integrations and Predictive Analytics functions integration."
