The upgrade isn’t too bad.

What are the best aspects of this product?

SAP has come a long way from its early days of providing a toolbox for data analysis and manipulation. I like how this is now web-based, allowing me to work anytime and anywhere without worrying over data accessibility. I was able to use the free one-month trial too, which really allowed me to get a feel of the tool before committing to paying for the premium. There is a pretty solid community of users who are always happy to answer questions about the product as well.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

Because it is web-based, you can only perform tasks that are just as good as your connection. That is to say that if your internet isn’t high-speed, you shouldn’t expect to accomplish high-speed worthy tasks too. The integration availability in this upgraded version does not seem to work seamlessly too. I hope the developers would look into this. To top it all off, licensing is accomplished per user and I think this costs more money than a bulk subscription.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

We’ve been able to process information and get insight from our database very easily. The best part? We don’t have to be in the office to perform these tasks! Just as long as there is a solid internet connection in place, we can do just about anything with this tool.
