Standing

5 labels, too few to rank

A product needs 10 labels in a category before a share or quadrant is stated. SAP BusinessObjects was named 5 times in BI & dashboards, where Microsoft Power BI led with 62%. The labels and the evidence are below, counted exactly.

Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for SAP BusinessObjects yet. The next is due October 1, 2026. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

No positive label carried a quote.

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Why to avoid: Technologically outdated, lacks cloud capabilities and modern self-service options” Kimi K2 · BI & dashboards · negative prompt · hard negative

“Why to avoid: Outdated UI, complex setup, extremely expensive, poor scalability” Mistral Small · BI & dashboards · negative prompt · hard negative

“Avoid for new setups / Be cautious for legacy.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · BI & dashboards · negative prompt · hard negative

“Comparisons of SAP BusinessObjects and IBM Cognos Analytics highlight complexity, expensive licensing, and outdated or heavy interfaces as common drawbacks” Perplexity Sonar · BI & dashboards · negative prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are in a category's top three. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named SAP BusinessObjects. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 2 of the 10 answers that named SAP BusinessObjects and are not a share of its labels.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when SAP BusinessObjects's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as SAP BusinessObjects, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at the vendor's own domain is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
