Offers powerful analytics and integration capabilities but requires improved upgrade processes

Pros

"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."

Cons

" There is room for improvement from a technical perspective. "

Excels as a corporate data warehouse and offers robust data modeling capabilities

Pros

"The most valuable feature of SAP Business Warehouse is its hybrid functionality, allowing users to leverage both SQL-based data warehouse capabilities from HANA and feature-based data warehousing from BW."

Cons

"Areas for improvement in SAP Business Warehouse include enhancing scheduling and monitoring tools, as well as improving communication about hidden features to make them more accessible to users. "

One of the best data warehousing solutions with good reliability and a simple setup

Pros

"Having the integration with the reporting tool which is provided by SAP is great."

Cons

"The solution should be more open to the cloud."

Integration is seamless and it has good alerting and monitoring features, but its initial setup could be more flexible and configuration-based

Pros

"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."

Cons

"What I'd like improved in SAP Business Warehouse is its setup. It could be more flexible, and it could be a configuration-based setup."

It has a transformation feature and several reporting functions and is easy to scale, but it requires some coding and is not as user-friendly

Pros

"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."

Cons

"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."

Features real-time data acquisition, but needs to be more developer-friendly

Pros

"With the technical support, the response has been pretty good from the SAP side. "

Cons

"In the next release, my suggestion would be to have user-friendly interfaces and performance issues be addressed."
