"The real-time information is great."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the integration with SAP ERP."
"What I like most about SAP Business Warehouse is that it's a seamless integration platform. A valuable feature in the tool is the monitoring alert that makes you aware of what process chain has failed. There's no manual monitoring required if you have configured an alert system, so the process chain can run in the background, and you can get alerts about it. The functionalities I find good in SAP Business Warehouse are alerting and monitoring. If you have configured the tool and have integrated it with SAP Solution Manager, then it's a good product to use."

"The advanced structuring can be complicated and the interface is not very intuitive."
"SAP Business Warehouse could improve by having more out-of-the-box use cases to cover more business types or operations."

"The product could provide more features."
"The program is difficult to learn to use"
