Okay
What do you like best about the product?
I have to use it to create reports, I do like being able to upload info and create a report with out formulas and also great for tracking progression
What do you dislike about the product?
I've been using it for a year and I still have to re-teach myself everytime I use it, If you are accustomed to using Excel then a little getting used to
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For me, its mostly being able to look up information for my reports, not as much as making the reports
Good product for large companies, but likely poor for smaller companies (1,000 employees or less)
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to run and schedule reports off of the server, rather than locally on my machine. I also like the flexibility that our IT teams can build entirely different and very dynamic universes for all different parts of the business. I like the permissions functionality to be sure that the appropriate people have the right access to the reports and behind-the-scenes information.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not particularly intuitive. I have to be somewhat well-versed in the product to know how to run jobs/reports off the server, so many of my co-workers haven't migrated to the run-jobs-off-the-server thinking. When jobs aren't run off the server, there are limitations (could be the decision of our IT/IS department, I'm not positive) for how many records can be included and unioned.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Opportunities for revenue improvement at multiple levels (department --> location (which includes multiple departments) --> region (multiple locations)), as well as service line/business unit regardless of physical location.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When you really get into their code, it's less than stellar. Cleaning this up would be nice. For those of us who run a lot of jobs, having CMC default to the proper folder (like can be done in normal BO Production) would be nice and save a ton of time.
Information at my fingertips
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the user friendliness of the system. Being able to run special, and even ad box reports when I need them can be a real lifesaver and time saver when I need it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I sometimes dislike the clunkiness and non user friendliness of the product. But once you get to know it and learn it things get better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Running specialized reports to get information about my employees and tax figures for quarterly and yearly filing and calculations.
Powerful but not user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it can gather large amounts of data that can used to transformed into rows and columns
What do you dislike about the product?
The graphs look outdated, the load time, the small icons
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps solve the need to summarize large amounts of data
It is a pretty simple platform
What do you like best about the product?
This is awesome! You’re able to create reporting necessary for management of your account base with ease.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not found anything that I dislike to be honest!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has benefited me to be able to have an interface into our data warehouse. I can get the data I need quickly.
Nice nimble piece of software
What do you like best about the product?
It gets the work done and it looks like a regular SAP interface
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a bit frustrating some times to deal with it

Accounting
Not User Friendly But Good Versatility
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can connect Business Objects to a large amount of data sources, as working with data is mostly what my job consists of. It can also handle a lot of tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not the most user-friendly software to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using business objects to export data from hospital
Love their last upgrade
What do you like best about the product?
I love their new homepage with recently used reports, it makes it so much easier than going through all of the drop downs to find the 2 reports I use on a daily basis.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really wish you could customize the exporting layout, that way I don't have to edit it so much in excel.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use my specific reports also as a double check for my previous days work.
SAP Business Objects
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to design custom reports and automate the distribution of these reports (weekly, monthly, etc.). This saves us a lot of time and with our recipients of the data
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be somewhat difficult to build custom variables without an extensive background in using BO.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it primarily for reporting purposes. We have our SAP Business Objects platform linked with the same database we use for Workday.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Building custom variables used in reporting takes time and is not as simple as building formulas in Microsoft Excel.
