"The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."
"The scalability worries me a lot at the moment because the cost of the solution is high and it is not growing considerably. Unfortunately, we started during early COVID times and because of the economic downturn, all the cost cuttings, and everything, it is not growing as expected."
"They should make the solution user-friendly for nontechnical people by giving specific names to the options."
"There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients."
"All of the reports are migrated or exported in an Excel file, and most of the time, a business intelligence tool is required. They could have better reporting. The aesthetic could be improved."
"What they're struggling with is it's not as mature as Tableau in the user management area. It was tougher to manage the server part of it right away, especially since the user base has grown."
"I think they should really work on integrating or have a capacity to integrate some algorithmic code. I think that's one of the most important things they need to be doing."
"The solution could improve in the visualization."
"SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is lacking dashboards and this would be the only reason we are looking for another solution."
"SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform should be made easier for the end-users and the performance could be improved."
"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."
"The solution is not good for self-services, they can improve in this area."
"The UI could be updated a bit."
"We would like to see a native version of BusinessObjects and Web Intelligence created for the cloud."
