"The solution is user-friendly.""There are a lot of functions in the product, including a drill-down functionality and level-based hierarchies that are very attractive.""Oracle OBIEE is good for data visualization and analytical reporting.""It has a lot workaround in order to do the report. data blending, and getting information from big data sources.""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.""Dashboards provide us with various views and perspectives on our data, allowing us to analyze metrics such as revenue, occupancy rates, etc.""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.""The performance can issue queries to work in the Oracle database in Oracle's native language. There are a lot of visualizations which suit our business."

Cons
"There is a significant degree of sophistication required to compete with Tableau or Cognos.""Insisting on forums, blogs and community outreach in communications, and posting videos on an established calendar would be useful.""Other tools might be worth considering if you need more advanced features or support for a larger user base.""Stability and scalability an be improved for a full ten.""There are issues with integration and I encountered limits and warnings, especially with my pivot table size.""It's not yet a replacement for a complete BI tool.""The tool should come up with data modeling layer features that are present in other products like Power BI.""When you physically install a product on one machine instead of the cloud, you have a better visibility, best icon quality, etc.. It's more of an issue with how we are adapting to the transition. We are still in the early moments of using this tool, and we need to go deeper to discover some improvements."

More Google Data Studio Cons →

"Its overall organization as an analytical tool, the layout of OBIEE, is not very good.""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.""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.""It's not so flexible to do BI reporting directly from the data source without models. It is not that agile.""In terms of tech support, we have our own technicians. But, we did register for their help. When we register a call, it takes time for them to respond to us.""There's a lot of redundancy, especially in relation to creating the code.""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.""In our organization, we feel that data visualization for APIs is an area in which the solution lacks."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Sandeep V., Process System Engineer at a comms service provider, tells us, “This solution is very easy for people who are building ad-hoc things. It's an enterprise solution so it can be deployed for a lot of users. There are some great new features that come with the 12c like data visualization, desktop BI Publisher, automation, and interactive dashboards. The product has good features. “ 

    A user who is a CEO at a consultancy relates, “The most valuable feature is the visualization. The data warehousing, data storage, and data wrangling are all features that are in there, and it's one of the better products out there. A good thing is that for large datasets, it's very stable, especially when you have an Oracle database.”

    A user who is a Principal Business Intelligence Architect at a computer software company suggests, "It is very biased towards Oracle infrastructure. One of the major red flags we have at the moment against Oracle is that it doesn't support deployment on other cloud providers. We're quite heavily vested in AWS as our infrastructure, and Oracle is yet to formally support deploying on those virtual infrastructure instances. That's quite disappointing, and it also cuts them out of over 70% of the market."
