Easy Reporting and Dashboards with SAP BusinessObjects BI
Reviewed on Sep 18, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like SAP BusinessObjects BI because it makes it easy to create reports and dashboards from multiple data sources. It helps users quickly analyze data, gain actionable insights, and make better business decisions through a user-friendly interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
SAP BusinessObjects BI is powerful, but the interface can be less intuitive than modern BI tools. Report creation and administration sometimes require specialized knowledge, and performance may be slower with complex datasets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SAP BusinessObjects BI helps centralize data and generate reliable reports, making it easier to track business performance, identify trends, and make informed decisions. It saves time by reducing manual reporting efforts and provides better visibility into key business metrics.

Integrated analytics has improved educational decisions and centralizes governance and security
Reviewed on Dec 09, 2025
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
Education is the industry I work in, and that is my use case for SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform.
What is most valuable?
SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is good for analyzing data analytics and helps us to make decisions about the organization.
Setting up configuration with SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is not difficult.
SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform helps improve data governance and security measures because it is one application that integrates all departments of an organization. When you use SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform, you improve the security because all data is centralized on one application. You have a good view of all activities, so you can easily check all the activities.
What needs improvement?
SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform can be improved by developing another module of SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform to integrate with the existing system. This depends on the specific implementation and requirements. There is room for SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform to be better.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have experience with SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform for one year.
How are customer service and support?
The support available for SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is accessible 24 hours and seven days a week. This availability of support is good, and this is why I score it nine out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
The first difference between Power BI and SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is that Power BI is for Microsoft, and we use Power BI. Power BI is available for all, and you can try it on the web and put all your data sources there. SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform, as Odoo, requires you to buy the product before you start to use it. This is one difference between Power BI and SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform.
What other advice do I have?
I have already worked with Odoo ERP, which gives me experience with SAP products. I do use SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform as well, the business intelligence tool. I do not integrate various data sources very often. My overall review rating for SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is eight out of ten.
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)

What is most valuable?
The best features SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform offers include cross-enterprise sharing, where sharing insights is easier and seamless across my organization, and creating role-based dashboards.

SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to perform financial reporting to make decisions faster.

SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is very stable.

Has driven long-term value through seamless integration and mature ecosystem support
Reviewed on Sep 11, 2025
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
My main customer use cases involve migrating from other platforms to SAP BTP since SAP has a very mature ecosystem. This is the main reason why customers are migrating from other platforms to BTP.
What is most valuable?
The most profound feature which is useful for me is Fiori, and I am an IS consultant, so I use IS most of the time in Integration Suite.
SAP has a very mature ecosystem.
I would rate analytics in BTP as 8.5 to 9 in terms of providing real-time insights. It is a mature tool and platform, but since there is more AI development occurring, it has to evolve at a rapid pace.
What needs improvement?
Connecting SAP with the open-source platform is not as easy as it could be, so there is a long way to go. SAP has to work on it, but connecting with SAP platforms is very easy when compared to connecting with any other platforms.
For the next release, I had a couple of issues, and we have raised tickets for those. The SAP team has responded that they will try to implement it and release it. It will be included in the next release. I don't think I can mention it here because it's already in the SAP bucket.
In the future, I would appreciate seeing a much more friendly UI in the IS included in the next release.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Business Technology Platform for approximately three years.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
There are many communication issues when we are trying to connect to other servers or platforms, establishing the connection and maintaining it as per our expectations. The target system will be expecting something else, and since BTP is developed by SAP focusing more on the ecosystem side, it is not so feasible or friendly while sending data from one platform to another.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
SAP BTP is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
SAP BTP is easy to scale.
How are customer service and support?
The quality of support from my experience is good, and I would rate it eight out of ten. It could be better, but it's good.
The support could be better in terms of response time.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I am not currently using SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform, I am just using SAP Integration Suite.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup for SAP BTP is straightforward. There is always room for growth and making it easier, but it is straightforward.
What about the implementation team?
I am an implementer with the Technology Platform.
What was our ROI?
My customers have agreed that there is a good return on investment with SAP BTP.
I would recommend that all clients consider SAP BTP as far as my experience is concerned, as they are happy with the ROI. The initial investment will be more, but the ROI is also good, so they can consider it if they're looking for something in the long run.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
SAP BTP is an expensive solution.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Process Orchestration is different from SAP NetWeaver.
What other advice do I have?
The biggest benefit of SAP BTP is the entire SAP ecosystem, not only SAP BTP. I rate SAP BTP a nine out of ten.

Enabling streamlined data visualization but facing complex setup challenges
Reviewed on Jul 03, 2025
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
That is only for reporting and dashboard, which is the purpose for which I'm mainly using SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable function of SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is the universe, so customers can build their own reports without programming skills.
The main benefits that SAP solutions provide include saving time and visualizing data more easily.
Functional wise, I'm satisfied with interactive dashboards and visualizations from SAP. It's okay. It's also helpful with interactive dashboards.
What needs improvement?
The platform is totally separated; SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is not easy to integrate with third parties or inside the SAP environment.
The initial setup for SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is too complex from my perspective.
SAP can make SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform better by simplifying the installation and configuration.
In the functionality part, it would be great to see some new functions, maybe some AI or something similar, but I'm not sure whether this should be done by such a reporting platform; perhaps other tools or technologies would be more suitable.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been working with SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform for ten years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's quite stable; I would rate it an eight or nine for stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
That's also good regarding scalability, the ability to scale and expand.
How are customer service and support?
I have experience with SAP technical support and have contacted them.
That's one thing I've complained quite a lot about, and recently I saw some improvement, but I would rate them a number five.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We are evaluating some other alternatives, for example, open source software; that's my experience with competitors.
What other advice do I have?
The SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform serves as a BI tool. I am not working with predictive analytics capabilities from SAP. I am an SAP real user, not a partner. I would rate this solution a 7 out of 10.
