"Transparency is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The out-of-the-box features are good for companies that want to try analytics and data science interventions."
"The fact that the solution is visually appealing because of its lightning interfaces can be considered one of its most valuable features"
"Einstein Analytics provides insights into what we are doing and how we are doing it. It tells us what benchmarks we need to hit consistently to achieve our goals. In sales, there is sometimes a disconnect between actions and objectives. We aren't necessarily going to close a deal because we call X number of people. There are some underlying skills that add nuance to these metrics."
"Tableau CRM is a very capable solution. It is easy to use, user-friendly, and integrates well."
"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."
"Way of creating reports."
"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."
"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."
"SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is definitely scalable."
"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."
"I have seen improvement in our work after using the solution."
"Business analytics are the most valuable features of this solution; I don't have experience with the other functional features offered."
"Ease of report development is a key feature."

"The tool needs to simplify its features."
"Einstein Analytics could incorporate something like SFIA 8 to help users understand the underlying skill sets."
"If a user leaves your organization, you shouldn't lose the visibility of all of the records."
"The product is expensive."
"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 have a lot of opportunity to improve BI tools. With Einstein Analytics, we have a very minimal scope."
"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."
"The product must be more transparent."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"It could be a lighter solution."
"This product could be improved with Cloud Integrations and Predictive Analytics functions integration."
"The UI could be updated a bit."
"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."
"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."
"The self-service area, or dashboard, needs some improvement. While the reporting itself is great, the dashboard and Analytics Cloud are not user friendly."
"More thorough testing of Service Packs before release."
