SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform ReviewNew features and more efficient install add value
What is most valuable?
Semantic Layer (Universes), ease of use
New Undelete of Public objects..
New Dashboard of overall environment
What needs improvement?
Java Applet still relying on the quirkiness of Java VM, and potential version mis-matches.
For how long have I used the solution?
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
With proper planning and understanding of the application landscape the deployment is fairly straight forward. Better to do a new install if you have multiple updates and patches...better to build from scratch vs remodel
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Highly scalable, new configuration wizard with 4.1 version assists in scaling correctly.
How are customer service and technical support?
Customer Service:
Fair
Technical Support:
Fair to Poor..Business Objects sometimes gets lost in the quagmire of SAP
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
How was the initial setup?
Depends on the deployment. Can be very complex in a 100% fail over/fault tolerant/load balanced scenario.
What about the implementation team?
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
What other advice do I have?
Use a consulting firm with expertise in deployment.
