Provides a lot of useful information and helps in managing risks and controls

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. They need to invest heavily in business planning and consolidation. They have a BPC tool, which is known for planning and consolidation, but its implementation consumes a lot of effort. It is not that easy to implement. It would be better if they come up with a solution that is more user-friendly and easy to integrate so that we can have multiple consolidations or versions.

End-to-end project management capabilities and offers seamless vendor and client contract alignment

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. This creates problems that I have personally experienced. Therefore, these aspects need to be much more free-flowing and seamless. If something gets stuck, it takes time to resolve, and during the contract phase, we have Service Level Agreements (SLAs). If those SLAs are breached, it becomes problematic. Given that there are approximately 3000 projects running concurrently worldwide, utilizing the system with a vast database and numerous activities taking place. It could benefit from decentralization. Currently, it operates as a central system, but if it could be centralized for specific subsidiaries, it would be easier for us to manage.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The best features are the scalability and flexibility to implement applications on top of the BW."

"Initial setup was straightforward. It took maybe one week."

"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. From the user perspective, you get to know what are the permission risks and access risks. You get a lot of useful information."

"The tool helps create reports for projects, including the creation of any ad-hoc reports"

"We have enterprise clients for the product."

"The integration portion with SAP models is valuable."

"It improves productivity, cash flow management, and inventory control for clients."

"SAP is gradually introducing more flexibility and customization options to the system, allowing users to adapt it to their specific needs."

Cons

"We cannot actively log in to the system. It should also improve support."

"An additional feature I would like to see is the option to add wait time and integrate sources in wait time."

"Technical support could be better and faster."

"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."

"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."

"The platform's support structure needs improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is costly."

"There is a yearly licensing cost. I would rate their pricing 4 out of 5."

"The product's licensing costs involve a one-time purchase. The tool also allows others to make annual payments towards the licensing charges of the product."

"SAP BusinessObjects GRC is expensive."

"The product pricing varies based on whether the client is new or existing and the complexity of their business processes."
