Hi Ingo, If the WebI is relational reporting product, and Analysis Products are more geared towards OLAP Reporting, is it fair statement that Analysis Products should be default tool to work against SAP BW (OLAP) ? I know we can do lot of stuff with WebI against SAP BW and there are lots of organizations using WebI, however there some limitations against OLAP and in typical SAP landscape, the use of Hierarchies is inevitable.
On other hand, I think, even Analysis Tool are certain limitation like RRI, Schedule, Security etc. I know these are being addressed with every release of newer versions, SP/FP etc.
In any new SAP implementation, it could be confusing to end user (who have limited knowledge of SAP Products in general), to tell that for such 'features' use WebI and for other use Analysis.
yes - Analysis Office and Analysis OLAP should be your default choice assuming your source is SAP BW or SAP HANA.
Web Intelligence can be used - but you should be aware of all the limitations and those limitations are something that won't change as the nature of the product is relational and not multidimensional / analytical.
