Helps us generate reports and has an easy setup process
Pros and Cons
  • "The initial setup process is easy."
  • "Enhancing support or resources for learning modern Java frameworks could be beneficial."

What is most valuable?

Every feature is valuable to us. We use normal product features such as creating student details, displaying student details, and generating student reports. Additionally, we retrieve marketing details from the database and return them for total and reseller information. We also utilize an attachment server, handling it with five streams or something similar without separate storage. Everything is managed locally within our computer's local storage solution.

What needs improvement?

One area that could be improved is Java development. Specifically, Java 8 needs to be improved. Nowadays, knowledge of frameworks like Spring Boot for microservices is essential. With this knowledge, it's easier to undertake Java projects effectively. Therefore, enhancing support or resources for learning modern Java frameworks could be beneficial.

Used to develop operational reports, business reports, and third-party customer reports
Pros and Cons
  • "It's easy to build an OTBI, and it doesn't take much time to create a report for the customer or business purposes."
  • "It would be good if Oracle could provide an easy-to-use read-only tool to access the database."

What is our primary use case?

As a partner, I use Oracle Reports to develop many reports for my customers, including operational reports, business reports, third-party customer reports, and letters.

What is most valuable?

It's easy to build an OTBI, and it doesn't take much time to create a report for the customer or business purposes.

What needs improvement?

We don't have a tool to access the backend read-only. We should get a tool instead of using the BIP, where there are limitations on querying the number of reports. It would be good if Oracle could provide an easy-to-use read-only tool to access the database. Using the BIP model to run a query is time-consuming.

Earlier, we used to have a Toad SQL developer. Whenever you run the BIP data model, you get only 100 to 200 records simultaneously, which you cannot extract without building a report. A flexible tool will help developers look at the data instead of going into BIP, building the report, having a layout, and then creating the report to extract your data.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Oracle Reports for three to four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Oracle Reports is a stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Around 3,000 to 4,000 people are using Oracle Reports in our organization.

How are customer service and support?

I have not raised any tickets about the reports or the tool, but I have raised tickets for information about specific seeded reports. There is no guidance from customer support, and the engineers route simple queries to Oracle Cloud Connect. It is annoying as it does not solve the purpose of raising a ticket.

How was the initial setup?

There is no initial installation for the solution. You get it along with the instant or the role, and it's very flexible.

What other advice do I have?

I used Oracle Reports on the E-Business Suite and on the Oracle cloud. Oracle Reports is a really good tool. It would be good to have a tool that provides flexibility in extracting or querying the data. Otherwise, Oracle Reports is pretty good for developing the reports.

Oracle Reports has improved our financial reporting and analysis overall. The solution's template design has benefited our reporting.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
