SAP Business Warehouse Reviews & Product Details

There are a lot of drill-downs where you can dig deeper into the data. My favourite feature is the ability to Drill-down and swap this filter with another one. It's very useful for analysis when you can quickly pick one of the items you want to analyse and then just add more filters to see from different perspectives. Great feature is you want to dig deep into your analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Huge amount of data takes time to load - but maybe this is because of volume and it may happen the same in other competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sap is really short and simple. Only thing difficult is implementation of a new TCode. I’ve used this system for warehouse inventory. For inventory purposes, you will only need to know a few TCodes/ modules to use SAP. This system can be use for so many functions such as generating reports, semi annual inventories, sending out and receiving inventory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For using this when I worked at a technological company, the time to get a new TCode implemented took way too long. You will have to go through trail runs just to ensure all functions are working properly. This could take a few days. SAP is not something that you can just understand In a few days, you really will have to learn this with someone that has been using this for some time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

once you learn how to navigate the system, it is very easy to use and updates instantly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When there a lot of users online at the same time, some of the reporting can take longer than usual Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that it has allowed to to have a central tracking system for agents to navigate through to order items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much we do not dislike about this system, but the setup took longer than anticipated simply because we had to change over from pretty much using excel and invoices to track. Initial setup can certainly be improved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It allows me an ease of connection to BPC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very technical and you have to know SAP t-code language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The idea of business warehouse is great. If the underlying data is good, the information can be sliced and diced easily where more time can be spent analyzing than laying out in a readable format Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the Business explorer add-on that BW works off of. It is cumbersome to use and even initially train on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software has a wide and powerful range of functions, allowing near complete management of inventory from one software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software interface is not the nicest or most user-friendly. The interface looks a bit dated, like a program from the early 2000s. Additionally, its not super intuitive or easy to use. Often, one has to spend significant time being taught how to use the software by someone who already uses it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Business warehouse as an add on makes the data from SAP easily to use and manipulate. Given its excel based it makes slide decks and presentations very easy for us Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the add on. We use Bex. I prefer analysis for office Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It' too complicated to use for small analysis projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SAP is a great multipurpose tool within our organization, it allows us to greatly manage our PO costs, Work order statuses and add steps as required, manage work requests and notifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hard to initially use, transaction codes can be confusing at times, but by saving them as favorites it becomes much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most like-able part of this SAP program is how open ended it is. Customization is almost unlimited, and you can set reports to run off of one click. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because this system is in fact so wide open, it takes a long time for a new user to become competent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of flexibility and ease of use for integrations to other systems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Extraction methodologies available with core ECC, large volume data analysis, infocube designing, store of historical characteristics, advanced planning and optimization(APO) feeding capabilities. The integration platform also allows communications with various external PLCs to effectively extract shopfloor manufacturing data to report on utilization, downtime etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For custom reports, use the data warehouse to filter and format dashboard analytics that are meaningful! An excellent tool for specialized reports with custom formatting. Ideal for leading and lagging metrics reporting. The best features are: data warehousing, big data, data import, sql language support, parallel processing, stability and business intelligence. This supports our business operations perfectly All in all the best tool in the suite for custom reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be unwieldy when you first use it but the learning curve is definitely worth it. It took six months before I was fully knowledgeable in its functions and use. Speed and graphical interface improvements would be good. As it is SAP, some find the strict functionality limiting and long for more flexible tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. I can't think of anything that is good about the BW. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is without a doubt one of the worst applications I have ever reviewed. The BW is great for consulting revenue because it takes forever to do anything in it. SAP is pitching using it with HANA, which if one did, would eliminate much of what the workbench in the BW does. At client after client the reports that BW is responsible for creating take forever to arrive. Companies that have the BW tend to rely on spreadsheets, so the BW is one of the worst investments in the overall IT stable of any company. Deloitte and IBM and others love the BW because it means money in their pockets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that you can get so much information from SAP within seconds. You can get pricing, account info and productivity within SAP. The details down to the penny can be found in SAP so easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like how you have to remember all the codes to get to certain sections to find information. This can be rather challenging at times. And there are certain areas that you have to have two windows open at a time to get all the info that you need to proceed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
