We performed a comparison between Oracle OBIEE and SAS Visual Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I have found the most valuable features are business intelligence and reporting."
"Can utilize SQL queries to generate reports directly."
"The most valuable feature is the openness of the solution. It helps us integrate some of our clients."
"We do you use Oracle support. We've been paying for an Oracle support subscription for four or five years, and not one ticket has ever been logged. When I came in, I've encouraged the team to ask Oracle questions. They do get back quite quickly. Their support is good. Working with our account managers, if I need to escalate anything, I can speak to them and they escalate the call. I've got that ecosystem working quite well. That does work for us."
"The solution has great reporting and forecasting capabilities."
"I like that Oracle OBIEE comes with more options. For example, more options with data security, user security, and other security. It's more complicated than Microsoft, but it gives you more options. They also added the part for machine learning, which is good."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is it's designed for Oracle. It works well in the Oracle environment and can sit on top of any application."
"It provides excellent stability."
"I believe that the possibilities for exploring data and formulating visual results are quite good because it allows the business analyst to have different perspectives on the data."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"The most solution's notable aspect, in my view, is the ability to integrate various data sources and harness advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. This helps with quality assurance processes."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great."
"Retail, Finance, Wholesale"
"Essbase integration needs to be worked on."
"It's not so flexible to do BI reporting directly from the data source without models. It is not that agile."
"Customer service/technical support gets five out of 10. Sometimes good, sometimes bad."
"In our organization, we feel that data visualization for APIs is an area in which the solution lacks."
"Even though we have a feature to enable the physical query to be seen in the log, in case of any issues, it is challenging to debug and see or identify where is the issue. For example, we designed the OBIEE repository and deployed it into the server, and we are now accessing and creating a report. For some reason, if the report is not working as expected, it is very difficult to identify the issue. We have a feature to see the physical query that is being generated in the central OBIEE server. I feel that this feature should have been available at the repository level so that while designing the repository, we can select the presentation columns and the query it is going to create. This will avoid the additional task of deploying a feature into the server and then testing the report. It will also make the implementation process friendly if, while designing the repository, we can see: How is a feature working? Are any of the presentation columns selected? How is the query being generated? Which query is being generated? Are any joints used? What kind of joints are used? Having this kind of information will make Oracle OBIEE more powerful and developer-friendly."
"It was a little bit tedious to install a new release."
"In terms of tech support, we have our own technicians. But, we did register for their help. When we register a call, it takes time for them to respond to us."
"There is a need for coding when it comes to digital reporting which can be intimidating."
"The solution should improve its graphics."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"The visualization should be better in SAS Visual Analytics. It is easy to use but when compared to other solutions it is lacking and the support is not very good."
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help."
"A bit more flexibility in the temperatization will be helpful."
