Business Intelligence Made Easy
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoyed the drag and drop query capability. When I was using Business Objects, I did not write SQL, and this interface allowed me to pull data in a user-friendly and intuitive way.
What do you dislike about the product?
Graphing was a nice bonus feature, but I tended to do this outside of Business Objects because updating charts was a time suck. Also, scheduling reports made my life easier but I found that some reports would fail with regularity (and these were simple data pulls that should not have been a drain on the system).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Extracting data from Business Objects allowed me to automate data pulls so I was ready to compile reports as soon as the workday began, and also allowed me to automatically send reports to leaders so they could keep a pulse on their areas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for users who don't write SQL. Sub-queries were a great asset for pulling data without duplication.
