Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in Reporting."Dashboards and self-service reports. These are widely used by customers in the EPM domain."
"The centralized metadata model component is most valuable."
"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."
"The scalability of the product is good."
"In terms of features, everything is good. It is also stable and scalable."
"The most valuable features are the lexical parameters and distribution."
"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."
"Can utilize SQL queries to generate reports directly."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"Customer support takes lot of time to get a solution."
"The functionality to customize and modify reports has been removed, and it would be beneficial to reinstall it, as it allows greater customization and flexibility in creating reports."
"We needed some technical expertise during setup."
"Warehouse and business intelligence are two different things, but OBIEE also has some warehouse features in it. I would like to see some of those capabilities improved."
"OBIEE doesn't have audit logs."
"I would like to see the data wrangling features enhanced."
"While it is a user-friendly, data-driven tool, the data modeling should be easier to use."
"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."
"Implementation is cumbersome and requires expertise."
