"IntelliFlex is easy to scale - one of its best features is that you can upscale it to the size you want.""The product's scalability is great. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""It is very stable. It's 100% uptime. Speed and resilience are one of the greatest features of this product. In almost twenty years we've never had downtime, except for outages for patches and upgrades. We've never had a system failure in twenty years.""Intelliflex is very scalable. In fact, scalability has improved 100 times by Intelliflex, in my personal opinion.""The solution's banking model, called FSLDM (Financial Services Logical Data Model), is sophisticated and good."

Cons
"It's a product that is at the end of life so they will not improve it anymore.""So far, the initial setup process in our company has not been easy enough for us to understand.""I'm not sure if our issue is related to BW or the Analysis Office. However, we're having performance issues in terms of time. It takes a long time to generate the report.""The advanced structuring can be complicated and the interface is not very intuitive.""There is room for improvement from a technical perspective.""The problem with BW, and the factor that differentiated it from the original BW, is that you only get limited functionality with your runtime license. So, you have to pay extra for extracting data.""What I'd like to improve in SAP Business Warehouse is its data structure, that's a little bit rigid. It could be a bit more flexible, so you can design your data structure and improve performance when creating a solution. Currently, the way data is stored in SAP Business Warehouse is rigid.""SAP Business Warehouse could improve by having more out-of-the-box use cases to cover more business types or operations."

More SAP Business Warehouse Cons →

"The reporting side wasn't very good in the past, but with the latest versions, it's getting better. Still, the friendliness of the PDC reporting and functionality needs to be improved.""The solution’s pricing, scalability, and technical support response time could be improved.""The only issue our company has with Teradata IntelliFlex is that it is not cost-effective because of the way the product has been designed.""They should add more connectors to different platforms.""The initial setup is complex because there are a lot of factors that come into play, including the amount of software and applications that require access."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's moderately expensive, but definitely has its branding and price value for it."
  • "It's quite pricey. SAP changed its pricing policy, so they give you one engine and then you have to buy everything next to it, like MSS, the BPC licenses, and everything else."
  • "The license for SAP Business Warehouse is paid yearly, and there's no extra cost in addition to the standard licensing fees."
  • "Overall, the pricing is not fixed and is expensive."
  • "The licensing cost for SAP Business Warehouse depends on your revenue. Its licensing structure is a little bit complicated. The more your revenue is, the higher the price, but SAP does have different pricing structures for various companies. For small businesses, licensing isn't based on revenue, but for big companies, it's revenue-based. There's some agreement regarding pricing for huge companies, so it's different, and SAP Business Warehouse pricing isn't fixed. On a scale of one to ten, I'm rating the licensing cost for SAP Business Warehouse as five because it's very high. As your revenue grows, your licensing cost also increases, so you have to factor that in when calculating your cost."
  • "SAP Business Warehouse licensing is a bit expensive compared to other products in the market."
  • "I would not recommend it to small-scale companies. The price is too much."
  • "The solution is quite expensive."
