Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"

More Infobright DB Pros →

"SAP Business Warehouse is a scalable solution.""The solution has functionality that makes it easy for end-users to readily extract data directly from Business Warehouse into Excel and carry on their analysis on their own.""The product is very stable.""The most valuable feature of SAP Business Warehouse is transformation, where I extract data from different sources, particularly the raw data. Then I do some transformations and store that in a format that allows me to do reporting easily.""Now, because of the HANA integration, the hard disk and RAM are together, and because of that, the output is very quick and very fast actually.""Having the back-end data set with the right information is the best qualification for this solution.""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.""We are currently in a basic stage of analytics and the first goal we have is to make sure the numbers are correct. BW has some features that help you to build factors and ETL in such a way that it's easy to get to correct responses. That's the number one condition that you have to have in an analytic solution."

Cons
"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."

More Infobright DB Cons →

"The solution should be more open to the cloud.""The problem with BW, and the factor that differentiated it from the original BW, is that you only get limited functionality with your runtime license. So, you have to pay extra for extracting data.""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.""SAP Business Warehouse could improve by having more out-of-the-box use cases to cover more business types or operations.""In the next release, my suggestion would be to have user-friendly interfaces and performance issues be addressed.""There is room for improvement from a technical perspective.""So far, the initial setup process in our company has not been easy enough for us to understand.""I would like to see a different end solution in order to read the data and attract internal users."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Our pricing was based on server instances and it was actually very cheap compared to Oracle. I guess you get what you pay for."
  • More Infobright DB Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It's moderately expensive, but definitely has its branding and price value for it."
  • "It's quite pricey. SAP changed its pricing policy, so they give you one engine and then you have to buy everything next to it, like MSS, the BPC licenses, and everything else."
  • "The license for SAP Business Warehouse is paid yearly, and there's no extra cost in addition to the standard licensing fees."
  • "Overall, the pricing is not fixed and is expensive."
  • "The licensing cost for SAP Business Warehouse depends on your revenue. Its licensing structure is a little bit complicated. The more your revenue is, the higher the price, but SAP does have different pricing structures for various companies. For small businesses, licensing isn't based on revenue, but for big companies, it's revenue-based. There's some agreement regarding pricing for huge companies, so it's different, and SAP Business Warehouse pricing isn't fixed. On a scale of one to ten, I'm rating the licensing cost for SAP Business Warehouse as five because it's very high. As your revenue grows, your licensing cost also increases, so you have to factor that in when calculating your cost."
  • "SAP Business Warehouse licensing is a bit expensive compared to other products in the market."
  • "I would not recommend it to small-scale companies. The price is too much."
  • "The solution is quite expensive."
