We performed a comparison between Oracle OBIEE and Tableau 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 like the scheduling feature. It has an inbuilt scheduler which is very good, and it allows us to create agents, and those agents can be scheduled. It's quite flexible in that respect and goes into our IT infrastructure. The outputs are sent encrypted to various endpoints. Some are internal, and some are our clients, and it's encrypted at a high level. I do find Oracle OBIEE flexible. If there is stuff that's not in your model or schema, it's very flexible to create SQL scripts and create the data you want. It's quite nice to create a dashboard in OBIEE, and that's pretty straightforward in the way you drag and drop everything. You can create sections, and you can add elements to your page. That bit of the interface is relatively straightforward."
"It doesn't have many frills and is definitely older technology, but it is undeniably a workhorse."
"They are introducing AI. There are good forecasting features and machine learning."
"Its robustness is most valuable. It can handle massive amounts of data quickly. If it's properly configured and tuned, it can handle massive amounts of data very quickly to produce results. That to me is the number one feature."
"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."
"User-friendly look and feel."
"In terms of features, everything is good. It is also stable and scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to set up the automated delivery of reports."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"Data Interpreter: Which can identify issues or potential errors with your imported data."
"It has a shallow learning curve and so you can go to market very, very, very quickly."
"I like Tableau's heat maps and the storyboard. You can create data stories and tons of visuals with it, and it goes together really well. Tableau lets you manipulate the data in various ways."
"The solution deployment was straightforward."
"The best use case for us is the solution's integration with Salesforce because we are also partners of Salesforce."
"Tableau is good for routine dashboards, and it has integration with Slack, through which it can send you daily updates."
"The solution allows for the possibility for end-users to do their own reporting."
"One feature I would definitely like to see is the ability to provide the in-memory data. Oracle might have some plugins but, as of now, that feature isn't available out-of-the-box. You might have to purchase that feature."
"Oracle OBIEE can improve the ease of use. It is a lot to learn and it could be made easier."
"The solution needs to be easier to scale."
"Its overall organization as an analytical tool, the layout of OBIEE, is not very good."
"Oracle OBIEE only displays KPIs, but it does not include strategic objectives or display risk in a strategic map."
"The drawback with the tool is that though it is well-created, its users are under-trained to use it."
"n the beginning it had it's stability issues, but it became stable."
"The development effort takes longer than other BI tools currently on the market."
"At the organizational level, increasing the servers' capabilities to support us as an enterprise tool."
"Tableau has so many functions, so sometimes it's hard to find the right solution quickly. I have to search multiple menu bars to find the right command."
"I would like them to include the Italian language, as I can see there are other foreign language in the product."
"Its price should be improved. Its price is much higher than Power BI and QlikView. Programming is not easy on Tableau. For programming, you have to have a separate model. They should include programming directly on the web portion of the Tableau desktop so that people can write Python or JavaScript code for customizations instead of using a different model. Currently, Tableau Data Prep is a separate application that you have to purchase. It would be helpful if they can include Tableau Data Prep and programming languages such as R, Python in the next version. Tableau Public, which is a community version, doesn't allow you to save your work on your desktop. They should allow it. Currently, you can only upload it in the community."
"I would like Tableau Prep to be integrated with Tableau Desktop. I would also like more customizations for tables."
"In the cloud sometimes the performance is a little bit slow."
"When we put more information on a single screen, it gets compressed and superimposed in many places while scrolling."
"There could be improvements on the mobile application, it is lacking features."
