"Having the back-end data set with the right information is the best qualification for this solution."
"The most useful feature has been he ability to feed data into multiple systems in various formats."
"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."

"SAP Business Warehouse is a scalable solution."
"The OLAP slide and dice features need to be improved."

"It would be useful to have an option where all of the data can be queried at once and then have the result shown."
"The technical support should be better in terms of their knowledge, and they should be more customer-friendly."
"The customer support could be more responsive."
"The product could be improved by making it more flexible."
"We are using third-party tools to integrate Amazon Redshift, they should create their own interface on their own for it to be easily connected on the AWS itself."
"The solution could improve in handling more data formats and more native support for RDF."
"I would like to see a different end solution in order to read the data and attract internal users."
"We are very unhappy with technical support. First of all, they send their sales agents or pre-sales agents and most of them who don't know the solution as a properly trained tech would. We have an on-site SAP representative who is supposed to help us with our high priority and production issues, and they're not satisfactory to say the least."
"The advanced structuring can be complicated and the interface is not very intuitive."
"The solution should be more open to the cloud."
"So far, the initial setup process in our company has not been easy enough for us to understand."
"It takes more work to get the data, including reporting on that data, because some coding is required, and a significant level of transformation is needed when using SAP Business Warehouse."
"What I'd like improved in SAP Business Warehouse is its setup. It could be more flexible, and it could be a configuration-based setup."
"They should reduce the product’s installation package size for easier downloading."
