SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform Review
It does not require any additional plugins like for the other ETL tools. I would like to see its data handling improved.
Valuable Features:
Improvements to My Organization:
Our organization uses SAP BI tools, and Qlikview for building reports for our doctors and other teams. It has helped us to build an Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW). It helps the BI teams to build reports over this warehouse.
Room for Improvement:
It needs some improvement in its performance. It handles our data great as we do not process much data daily, but we are going to process huge amounts of data. I don't think it can handle well when compared to other ETL tools. I would like to see its data handling improved.
Deployment Issues:
We've had no issues with deployment.
Stability Issues:
We've had no issues with stability.
Scalability Issues:
We've had no issues with scalability.
Other Advice:
I think this product is best if we are not loading huge data. Also for its easy to use and learn.

Highlights
It is solid and stable.
The common metadata environment means that the entire organisation has the same definition of core measures rather than these being derived in spreadsheets or specific reports.
The solution's user security is extremely effective. You can profile very well. All the users and all the functionality is protected and that includes information and data segregation.
