You can get different structures of data to suit your needs."
"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."
"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."
"Having the integration with the reporting tool which is provided by SAP is great."

"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the integration with SAP ERP."
"The most useful feature is definitely the speed."
"SAP Business Warehouse is a scalable solution."
"The solution's banking model, called FSLDM (Financial Services Logical Data Model), is sophisticated and good."
"The product's scalability is great. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is very stable. It's 100% uptime. Speed and resilience are one of the greatest features of this product. In almost twenty years we've never had downtime, except for outages for patches and upgrades. We've never had a system failure in twenty years."
"Intelliflex is very scalable. In fact, scalability has improved 100 times by Intelliflex, in my personal opinion."
"IntelliFlex is easy to scale - one of its best features is that you can upscale it to the size you want."
"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."
"They should reduce the product’s installation package size for easier downloading."
"The way the data is stored is kind of rigid in SAP BW as a product. It could be more flexible so that when we are designing a solution, we can design our own data structures and try to improve performance."
"One of our requirements is the ability to easily get answers regarding trends and exceptions. In BW, it is not that easy to get such information. I expect better trend and exception detection, better pattern detection."
"The advanced structuring can be complicated and the interface is not very intuitive."
"I get all the information quickly, but it is one day old."
"You can start quickly but, when you have to get a little more detailed, when you have to change something, when you have to solve problems, it's not that easy. It's easy to start but evolving is not that easy."
"A few things which are missing include the visualization of reports. That's where your costs and licensing become heavy. When it comes to this database compared Microsoft Warehouse, it's an expensive solution."
"The solution’s pricing, scalability, and technical support response time could be improved."
"The reporting side wasn't very good in the past, but with the latest versions, it's getting better. Still, the friendliness of the PDC reporting and functionality needs to be improved."
"They should add more connectors to different platforms."
"The only issue our company has with Teradata IntelliFlex is that it is not cost-effective because of the way the product has been designed."
"The initial setup is complex because there are a lot of factors that come into play, including the amount of software and applications that require access."
