"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."
"The initial setup is not very complex."
"It allows the analysis of business data and enables decisions based on the analysis."
"I like the fact that we can integrate it seamlessly within our Epic environment, but probably the best thing that Crystal Reports offers is the ability to do visualizations. They're simple to do, and they're catchy. So, it is a really great tool."
"It is stable and robust. It has pretty direct integration with SAP ERP. It is easy to use."
"Through the use of Business Intelligence reporting and scheduling features, reports are generated and automatically sent according to a schedule. This has freed up countless hours spent performing the same tasks, month over month."
"Provides autonomy for all the business users to develop their own reports."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that we are able to build all dashboards with self-service BI and are able to provide our business users with self-service BI. We are building a repository on top of our data warehouse and building all the dashboards and KPIs."
"We find that we can scale it as needed."
"The feature that allows pivot users to create the report dashboards and run them when they want with a lot of flexibility with the drill-downs is very useful. The drill-down features are very good because, in other solutions, such as Excel, you have to create separate pivot tables and a lot of other operations to do drill-downs. SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform tool does the drill-downs automatically. Overall the solution is user-friendly and has a lot of drag and drop features."

"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"It needs work with visualization."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"Although Qliktech's road map clearly states that QlikView has a long way to go, most of the R&D effort seems to be benefiting Qlik Sense."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"There is a challenge on the frontend when it comes to browsing data through QlikView, as it isn't entirely compatible with other platforms we use."
"They could improve the update time."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
"The UI could be updated a bit."
"SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is an outdated solution that is missing many features."
"The solution is not good for self-services, they can improve in this area."
"There is room for improvement in providing more user-friendly and versatile reporting options."
"The biggest area for improvement would be the dashboarding capabilities due to the recent change from Xcelsius to Dashboard Designer. This has created a gigantic ripple in many companies because the skill sets required are drastically different."
"It is limited for us because SAP is shifting toward the cloud, and we can't use a cloud solution for SAP BusinessObjects. SAP introduced a product called PlusTimes one or two years ago and another one that I believe was called Automatic BI. This tool is more powerful than BusinessObjects and other tools because it's provided in the cloud."
"More thorough testing of Service Packs before release."
"The performance could be improved, like when we extract a large amount of data."
