The simplicity and customization are the distinct features but the ability to inspect details easily would be nice.
Khalix is a simple tool that builds on existing data sources to develop solutions in forecasting, planning and consolidation needs. I've used this tool to build a position reporting system that help traders and managers to make informed decision in risk management. I also developed a dashboard that showed forecast margins and KPIs for operations. It standardized the reports and charts for users across my organization with less effort

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.
