Powerful tool, but the UI is cumbersome
What do you like best about the product?
There is no doubt that Business Objects has a lot of functionality and can perform many "heavy duty" tasks. It's GUI allows for business users who are not versed in complex SQL queries to craft robust and complex reports. Sharing reports amongst individuals and business groups is a nice feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the GUI is useful, it can be more user-friendly. The entire interface takes some getting used to and is not very intuitive. It seems as if this tool doesn't know if it wants to be technical and therefore contain a crowded set of functionality and a not so user-friendly interface or if it wants to be Business friendly and allow for the "common user" to craft reports with little technical knowledge, although it takes some technical training to create a basic report.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This tool is used to mine data from our enterprise system, primarily for those people who cannot use SQL developer and craft their own complex queries. We primarily use this tool for analysis and not particularly for reporting. In other words, data analytics.
Easy quick reporting
What do you like best about the product?
SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI) is an easy method to create reports with tables and charts from a database. The reports can be easily set up to run automatically, so no further manual handling is required once the report is set up.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI) in general works quite well, it can be a bit difficult to get the reports to output in excel correctly. In addition, it would be nice if it was easier to copy over information and tables from one report to another report.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI) to quickly create reports to respond to urgent questions and to send out reports automatically to colleagues.

The platform allows us to run reports about academic administration issues like enrollment, course completion, and budget-related issues. Having access to these materials enables us to look at long-term trends and adjust our expectations and understanding accordingly.
What do you dislike about the product?
SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence has a very steep learning curve, or at least I thought so. I went through the training documents and videos multiple times and felt confounded by the complexity and outdated user interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence allows us to run reports and evaluate plans regarding long-term issues around finances, human resources, payroll, enrollment, expense management, and more. Having access to these reports makes a vast trove of data much more accessible and valuable.
