Cons

"Web based reporting can have better user interface and functions."
"If you compare it with Oracle then Longview isn't that user friendly."
"The original cost is set to use enterprise wide but the users growth is too slow to justify the cost. That's one of the reasons we stopped using this tool."
"The initial set up was complex and painful, both with respect to database setup and the execution script."
"They need to try to develop reports to tie different tables together. Currently, to pull the data into one nice, neat report takes a more advanced technically minded person to develop."
"Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer needs to improve its performance and HTML reports."
