"It is wonderful from the control perspective. The GRC tools help you in knowing what are the risk controls, how to mitigate risks, and how to ensure that there are no conflicts between the roles.

You get a lot of useful information.""We have enterprise clients for the product.""The tool helps create reports for projects, including the creation of any ad-hoc reports""Initial setup was straightforward.

Cons
"Technical support could be better and faster.""We cannot actively log in to the system. It should also improve support.""BusinessObjects is very dated. It is not that user-friendly. It should be made more user-friendly. In addition, if they could make predictive analytics an embedded part of it where people get to know what is there to offer, it would be great.""I think the old system is better than the new one. From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to ensure that the new technologies it offers are better than the old ones.""An additional feature I would like to see is the option to add wait time and integrate sources in wait time."

"The system is old, so there are several issues that arise when we fetch data from integrated systems. Sometimes the data gets stuck, and there are instances where we need to access multiple pieces of information simultaneously.""It would be valuable if SAP integrated seamlessly with some products like Jira and Bitbucket."
