It's easy to manipulate and to create new dashboards.
Because Oracle products are development frameworks, your final results are as good as the people who implemented it. Make sure that your implementation team is the best it could be, at least for the first implementation. If something is implemented incorrectly at the start, it'll cost you a lot more to fix than to build a new system from scratch. Sometimes it can be so badly designed that it is impossible to fix. I've been working on implementation for 20 years and I have seen bad implementations everywhere. In fact, I have seen the same tools implemented in the same team by two different people, with one being a success and the other a failure. In the same company, one department says that the tool does not work for them and another says that the tool is the best. The only difference was the implementer. Make sure you get a good team to implement it. The tool has its flaws, but most of time (99%) it is the implementer's fault that you have a bad or slow model.

A stable data analytics solution that needs some improvement with scalability and data visualization
We use it as an HR system and as a recruitment system. But we don't use it for anything else. We don't use it for our workforce planning. Just the For HR, and recruitment. I primarily use the solution for data analytics. So I could have managed to get used to the business processes and extract data…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like the architecture of this solution. RPV is a powerful feature in Oracle OBIEE. It lets us design as per the needs of the organization. I can have multiple presentation folders and presentation layers. I can have customization in a single node in VMware, which is a very good feature of Oracle OBIEE. It helps customers in designing as per their requirements."
"I like the cloud deployment feature. There are about 20 new features, and they are available on mobile and more. I haven't used any of them, but these features are highly attractive."
"The “Business Model & Mapping” layer in the Administration Tool, because the maintenance and evolution processes are greatly facilitated."
"It has helped to consolidate data and report on a single version of the truth."
"We can see almost-real-time performance in our operations. When there is a problem, it is easy to escalate it to top management and the time for management to make a decision about it is much shorter than it would be using a manual process."
"The technical support services are good."
"It's easy to use for business analysts."
"I have not personally used any such products related to this service, however based on the popular opinion, Microsoft Power BI is more popular. We have never switched from this software due to infrastructure and license related costs. However, my team acknowledges that the Power BI is much more enhanced and includes features that are easier to use, including its drag and drop features. I am not sure, if OBIEE has these features, due to lack of updated versions."
"Feature-wise, I feel that the solution's stability is good."
 

Cons

"One of the things that have been difficult with OBIEE during all the time that I've known it is that when something goes wrong, many times, the error messages are not specific, and you've got to spend a lot of time digging and digging and digging before you say, "Oh, okay. I figured out what it was." There should be more detailed error messages or troubleshooting messages."
"The documentation in Oracle OBIEE can be more user-friendly."
"The ability to migrate from one version to another, such as doing so from version 11 to an upgraded 12 of Oracle business environment, can be difficult."
"The solution is too expensive for small firms."
"Oracle OBIEEE's performance and licensing costs could be improved."
"An area for improvement is that Oracle pushes more users to Oracle BI Publisher rather than emphasizing Oracle OBIEE for reporting. The pricing for Oracle OBIEE could be improved."
"OBIEE doesn't have audit logs."
"In our organization, we feel that data visualization for APIs is an area in which the solution lacks."
"It is not a very scalable product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is high."
"I think to spread this across an enterprise will be a significant investment."
"It is an expensive solution."
"It's comparable to the current technology we're using, Qlik Sense."
"The licensing cost for Oracle OBIEE is expensive."
"The price of Oracle OBIEE is expensive, it is difficult for a small business to afford."
"This is a very costly product."
"The licensing cost is based on the number of users using it."
"I do not know of the licensing cost, but there are additional costs like 5,00,000 for recruitment modules."
