PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? The platform can be used even without the knowledge or understanding of the SQL query language. The process of extracting and exporting data is quite straightforward and easy. What aspects are problematic or could work better? I had difficulties figuring out how to operate the system and generate all reports at first. But I got a hang of it after using it multiple times. What specific problems in your company were solved by this ...

Saves me a lot of time!
PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? I’ve bid goodbye to the long and tedious process of extracting data and generating reports. With BI, I’ve been able to allocate precious time to other tasks because it runs easily in the background. What aspects are problematic or could work better? I agree with the other reviews, the learning curve is quite steep with this one. However, if you dedicate the time to learning the ins and outs, you’ll save yourself time in the long run ...

Brings valuable business information in our fingertips
PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? I like the ability to get all the information I need in a breeze. I am working in pharmaceuticals and this platform perfectly fits our niche’s need and requirements. What aspects are problematic or could work better?

It’s a bit hard to figure out what you’re going to click next to be able to get a certain data but I eventually got ...

Efficient in gathering client reporting daily
PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? I use SAP BO daily to collect client reporting. What I like best is the speed of acquiring results. Also, I can easily export and share the information acquired with my sales partners and customers. It has been a very helpful tool, easy to understand and use. What aspects are problematic or could work better? I cannot customize some reporting until they are exported. Aside from that, not all reports run fast. Some take time to ...

Works best for companies that operate in multiple locations.
PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? I love how properly classified each of the universes are for different functions/teams in the company. One team can have their environment where they operate--here they are given control over special functionalities. And the best part? You can secure each division by only granting access to those with roles on said universes. Reports can be extracted on platforms other than the local server too, freeing up plenty of space for other ...

Best for multi-client handling.
PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? The recently rolled-out version of BI has truly reinvented this tool. Now, we have a plethora of reporting “templates” to choose from. I love how there seems to be one for every aspect of our business. For example, if we want to churn out a report that has the best resolution for printed copies, there’s always the Crystal option. There’s a choice that assists you in interpreting data too. The list goes on and on. . . What aspects are ...

Could use an upgrade, but a good tool nonetheless.
PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? I like how SAP gives me the flexibility to arrange the data in my reports in any way I like. This is useful in both my recurring reports and other tasks I have to run on a day-to-day basis. So far, I haven’t run into any issues with this. It’s simple and straightforward. I love that it offers a mix of intuitiveness and value for money. What aspects are problematic or could work better? The dashboard could use a spruce up, I think. ...

SAP BO Review

You will need extensive knowledge and experience using BO to be able to build custom variables. What specific problems in your company were solved by this product? We linked this platform with the same database we ...
