"We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. "
"What could be better is the manual... nowadays, most people use a web client, but on the Board manual website, a lot of the information is only about the Windows client. If they could update that, it would be helpful."
"It would be nice to see truly transferable processes from model to model, as well as a method of building repetitive processes."
"The engine of the Board should be made powerful like the engine of IBM planning which is more powerful in terms of performance. The consolidated finance area also needs improvement."
"If we could upload other data, e.g., pivot tables which can be done in BOARD already, that we have pre-existing and have that data distribute to more complex spreadsheets, I would like that going forward."
"I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD."
"It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use."
"It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. It should be a little more intuitive."
"The solution is not good for self-services, they can improve in this area."
"The platform should be a bit more user-friendly."
"SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform should be made easier for the end-users and the performance could be improved."
"Its data visualization tool is not as good as Power BI and Tableau. Currently, for data visualization, you need to spend more money to buy another solution such as Power BI or Tableau. It is also very hard to integrate it with other third-party solutions. Its integration with other solutions should be improved."
"It would be good if they could integrate the possibility for end users to create end models for themselves that they can use, especially for site operators, and if they could provide the end user not only the self-service BI, but also the self-service analytics, based on a predefined model, the same way that Oracle did."
"The UI could be updated a bit."
"More thorough testing of Service Packs before release."
"We would like to see a native version of BusinessObjects and Web Intelligence created for the cloud."
