Handles large datasets and easy to interact with and handle but performance could be better
Oracle's technical support usually recommends to upgrade when you contact them for support. They don't focus on fixing the issue at hand or providing guidance on how to do it. If you are in a lower environment, like one version down, they will blindly suggest upgrading. Additional patches are given for other Oracle products like WebLogic, databases, and apps. They fix issues and create patches based on client needs. But from an OBIEE point of view, they mostly provide bundle patches of around 5 to 6 GB that need to be applied and tested end-to-end. It's not an easy way to get small patches, and if issues arise after applying the patches, you have to contact Oracle again.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution offers a wide range of software tools to meet various needs, such as those concerning reports, developer solutions like APEX and the integration of data."
"Easy to create ad hoc reporting for different solutions."
"It mostly supports enterprise level data. We have millions of records on a daily basis."
"The complexity that OBIEE can handle in the form of RPD is unmatched. I haven't found this level of complexity in other reporting tools, especially when dealing with complex calculations that are not readily available in the reporting layer."
"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 most valuable features of the solution are the various scenarios the product offers and its stability."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is the security of the solution."
"It's the connectors, the adapters. Built in connectors with different ERPs, you can plug in XL, other sources of data. It's very easy to configure. It's very easy to use."
"QlikView is a scalable solution that multiple users can easily use."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"The initial setup is not very complex."
"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"QlikView is an excellent tool, though expensive compared to other BI tools, it provides ETL capability allowing the building of a complete data warehouse within Qlik Sense."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"One of the good thing is that you can integrate different data source technologies. So you can model your environment without having any of our views running."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."
"I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"We find the access restrictions on different user groups valuable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...The deployment process of TIBCO Jaspersoft is easy."
"We can set any property dynamically."
"With the online view, it's easier to create Ad Hoc reports. It has inbuilt reports so we can easily get data from the system and customize the fields."
"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."
"You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards."
 

Cons

"It would be better if it had a wide range of visualization options. For example, Microsoft Power BI has an extensive range of visualization options, but it's not available in OBIEE. There are also some conflicts because it's complicated, but the cloud application is easier. They added some features for ETL with the on-premises application, but we need a different or a separate application for ETL in the cloud. In the next release, I would like to have more AI features."
"Oracle OBIEE could improve by having better integration and compatibility with other vendors."
"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."
"Oracle OBIEE could improve the visualizations, such as diagrams, charts, and graphical user interface. Other tools on the market have better graphical visualizations this Oracle OBIEE."
"Expanding beyond pure data reporting and into analytics, or expanding data science, would be areas for improvement."
"The platform's interface needs improvement."
"It's not so flexible to do BI reporting directly from the data source without models. It is not that agile."
"I would like to see the data wrangling features enhanced."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."
"Improvements are required in the hide and unhide functionality that falls under the layout container feature that has been used in my company in recent times."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
"Although Qliktech's road map clearly states that QlikView has a long way to go, most of the R&D effort seems to be benefiting Qlik Sense."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"Customization is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement."
"Jaspersoft should focus on user interaction features, and one should not expect it to suit every niche."
"TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports."
"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."
"I would like to see better support for big data."
"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."
"The reporting templates have room for improvement."
"We'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing we negotiated with Oracle. But, I do not have details."
"For the license in part of Oracle, my company makes yearly payments."
"Be prepared to spend a lot of time and money."
"The cost of this solution is a little bit high compared with other products like Zoho, so reducing it would make OBIEE more competitive."
"It's expensive."
"All products from Oracle are very pricey."
"The licensing cost is based on the number of users using it."
"If you compare Qlik Sense and Oracle OBIEE licensing, then Oracle products are much better. With Qlik Sense, you have to pay per client and per use. But we get Oracle OBIEE along with the Oracle database, making it much more cost-effective in the long term."
"Qlik is fairly high in terms of pricing."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one being low price and ten being high price, I rate pricing a four."
"QlikView is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"My firm got the product at a cheap price, but in general, I believe that the product is a bit costly."
"It is not very expensive. I think it it is on par with other similar products on the market."
"The platform's pricing is considered quite expensive, particularly given the dollar-based pricing."
"It is quite expensive, rating at around nine out of ten on a cost scale."
"QlikView pricing and licensing is on the high side for a small sized company, but it's competitive among its peers."
"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."
"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."
"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."
