"The solution can scale."
"It's great for consolidation and creating one source of truth."
"It's robust. It has the ability to handle massive amounts. After reporting has been developed, there is an ease of use or a user-friendly interface for a trained workforce."
"I've discovered that the new layout of this product makes Docker sharing, machine learning support, and data backups more efficient. Unlike the older method of linking physical, pre-logical, and presentation layers separately, the new interface simplifies this process. Additionally, the integration of databases and machine learning is seamless, with the new visualization approach being particularly beautiful and highly beneficial."
"It's valuable feature is that it is user-friendly and doesn't require much time for understanding. The solution is stable. The initial setup was straightforward."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's most valuable feature is its visualization."
"The platform uses a lot of Java technologies so the performance and system-level management are tricky because it needs a lot of resources."
"The setup is pretty easy. It's not hard at all."
"The development using SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is very good."
"The solution's user security is extremely effective. You can profile very well. All the users and all the functionality is protected and that includes information and data segregation."
"The scheduling and publication features are very useful."
"It is solid and stable."
"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."
"Business analytics are the most valuable features of this solution; I don't have experience with the other functional features offered."

"It should simplify data connectivity and modeling, making data extraction more streamlined and adaptable for diverse use cases."
"They could improve the ease of developing the dashboard and interacting with it."
"The product should be improved in terms of connectors; right now the top twenty connectors are available, but OneDrive and Teradata are missing."
"This solution could be more adaptable in its application."
"It is expensive."
"At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced."
"As with most BI tools, the visualizations can be made much nicer. Currently, it has standard visualizations. They've been adding new visualizations, but we see animated visualizations from other vendors. It would be nice to have similar visualizations, such as the swarming visualizations, which are fairly new and very popular at the moment. I haven't seen that with Oracle. That would be nice."
"Its machine learning and visualization capabilities can be improved. There should be more visualization options."
"It could be a lighter solution."
"The interface could be slicker and more user-friendly."
"It would be good if they could integrate the possibility for end users to create end models for themselves that they can use, especially for site operators, and if they could provide the end user not only the self-service BI, but also the self-service analytics, based on a predefined model, the same way that Oracle did."
"There is room for improvement in providing more user-friendly and versatile reporting options."
"The platform should be a bit more user-friendly."
"The integration could be improved. The SAP suite has some integration problems and it has some huge development needs. For example, when you use Power BI, if you publish a dataset to the web, there is no issue in seeing the data with the report. The data and report are integrated automatically. Or when you use QlikView, when you publish the QVD file, the report is integrated with QVD. Also, with Tableau, when you publish the data, it's in the hyper database, in the memory, and the dashboard with data is integrated seamlessly. In the SAP side, it's not easy. There are lots of business layers. There are also some performance issues in the SAP BusinessObjects suite. They should focus on the technologies. We are partners and every step of the way, SAP asks us for money. If you want to see the products, the PDFs, if you want to learn the product, online training, etc., everything has a cost on the SAP site. Because of this, partners try to get to know the products on their own. SAP only focuses on the sales side—only money is important for SAP, not the quality. In that way, the operation is not easy on the SAP side. As a suggestion, they should focus on customers first instead of money."
"The combination of Lumira along with Design Studio merger last year still needs development from a visualization standpoint."
"SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is an outdated solution that is missing many features."
