Avantages

We enjoyed using SAP Business because so far it is the only software that we have found that allows us to put together decent, attractive and factual data reports easily and that can analyze data as well. SAP Business has also helped us alot to identify weak spots in our marketing with its amazing analysis tools, it helps us fill in the gaps to stay on top of all the new upcoming trends on the market for our industry. It can be shared shared among us no matter where we are so that we can all work on the same data as a team. We enjoyed using SAP Business because it has the capability to process a large amount of data quickly and helps us put that data into visual graphs that are able to show us real time data that has been analyzed. It can be easily intergrated with Microsoft office as we use power point for alot of our presentations, it allows us the ability to export from PowerPoint to SAP. It easily intergrates with other SAP platforms for more extra functions. It has been great for day to day use and has made us look more professional with their creative interactive graphs and self service capabilities.

Inconvénients

What we least like about SAP is that it can not be used by just anyone a bit of computer literacy is needed as some functions and instructions are a bit hard to understand with out some computer literacy.

Avantages

SAP BO provides a vast array of capabilities for using data across our companies' systems and provides expansive tools to process and display our data. SAP BO allows us to use large amounts of data across multiple instances (such as EWM, S4, etc.) and consume the data quickly and easily. It also allows for many different reporting designs, formats, and use cases for our reporting needs

Inconvénients

SAP BO is a complex system that sometimes requires knowledge of the schema integration in order to solve issues. This does not allow for everyday users that are not power users to self-service issues and can lead to a developer backlog. Also, our company has run into issues that were only able to be solved by SAP and there was a large lead time in waiting for a solution.

Avantages

SAP is good for basic inventory tracking and issuing goods etc.

Inconvénients

The user interface is very poor and outdated, even just to print a screen of an inventory list you have to open a separate window rather than print from that page.

Avantages

Complete product life-cycle management system. Ability to manage product development through production with complete accuracy.

Inconvénients

Complex configuration and training required.

Avantages

I LIKE ABOUT SAP IS THAT ALL THE COMPANY NEEDS IS ALREADY HAVE.

Inconvénients

for me its the invoice printing you need to create other tools for the template.

Avantages

SAP ERP is the core product that integrates different business processes like finance, human resources, procurement, manufacturing, sales, and supply chain

Inconvénients

Avantages

I have been using SAP Business for reporting and data visualization, and it has been very helpful in meeting our organization's requirements. We have connected it with multiple databases such as DB2 and Sybase, and its data storage capabilties are quite robust. The platform is undoubtedly powerful and capable of handling heavy tasks with ease.

Inconvénients

The learning curve is long, training is needed to be able to handle it properly, the user interface needs improvement, so that it is easier and more intuitive to use.

Avantages

I really like the simplicity and interactive visuals it provides. The KPI measurement is really good and real time reporting is quite useful.

Inconvénients

The real time reporting can be improved.

Avantages

Super easy to get things done, such as training

Inconvénients

Sometimes difficult to navigate, in my personal opinion

Avantages

I appreciate above all its flexibility when I need to create ad hoc reports.It's very powerful, even if a bit complicated at the begining, and it really allows business users to drill down into data and get the information they need.

Inconvénients

It requires an adequate training in order to use it at its best.It's a bit complicated, especially to understand all its functionalities and reporting capabilities.

Avantages

Cloud benefits, Personalized, Self-Service, Great analysis

Inconvénients

Should work on expanding more features and allow more flexibility.

Avantages

good software, the information is ordered in a good way for the issuance of reports

Inconvénients

in some module the entry of information is somewhat confusing

Avantages

For an SAP environment, this is best tool for reporting, since it can be connected effectively with SAP

Inconvénients

The connectivity of this tool with non SAP tools is not straight forward or simple

Avantages

Practicality in generating reports and the possibility of using larg volumes of data

Inconvénients

Sometimes it takes a long time to generate the bases

Avantages

Sap is the best ERP in the world, because of it you can manage all your company departments

Inconvénients

Is too hard to get familiar with it, you need some trainings

Avantages

SAP BusinessObjects is a wide collection of softwares that businesses can use to handle different functions such as reporting, business analytics, forecasting, etc.

Based on my experience, the softwares are easy to use with interactive graphical user interface. Also, with its point and click functionality, new users can easily familiarize with the system. In addition, the ability to customize the system for more advanced users is absolutely commendable. Few systems are flexible enough like SAP BusinessObjects. The integration of SQL Database Management makes it easier for more advanced users to customize the system according to the company's needs and demands.

Inconvénients

Since the software is mostly Window-based, computers using other programming language might have some difficulty in using the system. The wide variety of functionality also makes it a little bit confusing with new users especially those with no knowledge of SQL syntax.

Avantages

1. It is a massive BI tool which can support thousands of reports within the company
2. The security implementation is much far advanced
3. The different tools of the package WebI, Crystal, analytical tools serves/covers all needs
4. Lot of intelligence applied building this software and latest versions 4.2 is much advanced and feature rich
5. It also has ETL tool BODS providing end to end solution
6. It connects to all most all RDBS databases

Inconvénients

1. Platform administration is too challenging
2. software version and patch takes lot of time
3. Too many features sometime confuses the developer and users (till there is scope for user friendly)
4. New release are too late and other side competitor like Tableau are moving very fast
5. Lumira still lacks lot than equivalent competitor tools

Avantages

SAP in our business of distribution and logistics is very complex and can gather a mass of data. It excels at drilling down to fine detail and tracking of inventory and sales down to number of turns and we use all of this data to drive our business. For this it is a great platform.

Inconvénients

Because of it's many layers and it's complexity it creates an environment where it can be cumbersome to create orders and quotes.

Avantages

Using BOBJ has been light years better than previous database front-ends that I utilized, it is full of functions andhas a much more user friendly interface.

Inconvénients

Many of the functions are at a more basic level and require you learning their program to be able to nest them together and get the results you're looking for.

Avantages

Possibility to schedule a report with different parameter and send it by mail to different user.
You can send a report in many format (xlsx, Pdf, etc)
Triggers features when you schedule a report

Inconvénients

Administration is not easy, many services to check every day.
Consume a lot of Memory and CPU.
In case of crash, the reinstallation is very difficult and too long.

Avantages

The overall architecture of BO XI (with UDT v14.2.7.3130) is intuitive to understand. Most of my experience, however, has been using it with derived tables for more flexibility in the clinical trial space. This is one of the features that I like because it allows me to not only deliver custom reports but also standardized reports that integrate data from different sources.

Inconvénients

I think that BO's lack of OLAP functionality could use some beefing up. In my company, it's usually BO, Spotfire or Tableau that are used for reporting. If BO had OLAP capabilities, processes within the company that rely heavily on other tools may also change to account for that.

Avantages

Option to customize reports,
Easy to integrate with existing SAP framework

Inconvénients

Complex UI and slow processing (specially when data points are high)
