"MicroStrategy's best feature is that it is a user-friendly tool."
"The most valuable feature is the visualization."
"I like that Oracle OBIEE comes with more options. For example, more options with data security, user security, and other security. It's more complicated than Microsoft, but it gives you more options. They also added the part for machine learning, which is good."
"I think the most valuable features are the ability to drill down, the graphs, and the scheduling for the reports to be received in Excel on a daily basis. Users like Excel, so it's good for them that they receive the reports by email, that they don't have to specify the schedule."
"It's easy to use for business analysts."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is interactive reporting because it allows better analysis versus conventional reporting, especially on the data warehouse side."
"Oracle OBIEE is good for data visualization and analytical reporting."
"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 primary reason for using OBIEE is connectivity with Oracle E-Business Suite. It makes it easy to connect with our Oracle E-Business Suite. There are the standard dashboards available, which we sometimes use, and now we are looking for customized dashboards."
"The solution is somewhat costly in comparison with MSBI tools."
"The visualization aspect, while being the most visible to business users, also happens the be the weakest point in the entire Microsoft BI stack."
"One of the more difficult things to do is to export some of the data from Power BI to Excel."
"The admin view could be improved by making it more simplified to manage a users' activity and other things."
"Microsoft needs to do some more research and development to make it more stable."
"Microsoft BI's visualization could be better. Though Power BI's visualization has steadily improved over the years, it's not on the level tools like Tableau and SAS or some of the more expensive products on the market."
"The graphic interface could be better."
"Microsoft BI’s integration and visualization could be improved."
"Enterprise Manager should be a little bit less quirky when you build out-of-the-box customization reports for it."
"One of the things that I want to see MicroStrategy do is become more cloud native. Right now, the deployment on cloud is very easy to ruin, it is very much like spinning up separate VMs."
"In the developer, there are things that you able to do in a document or a report that you are not able to do in the Dossier."
"I would like to see a feature where migrations are easier. When you migrate from certain environments, it could probably be a little cleaner. Sometimes it seems to be somewhat clunky when you migrate from one environment, say a development to a test or production environment."
"The solution's licensing could be improved because its cost is heavy on the pockets."
"The product is designed for enterprise. A lightweight version would be easier for a smaller workgroup."
"It is performing well, but sometimes we have complex requirements and the performance decreases, and then we have to find another way to make it perform again. That is what you encounter when use the project, but that's inevitable because if we would have used another product, we would've had the same thing."
"If they can make it more stable, in terms of the connectivity, that would help."
"They should make the dashboard more intuitive."
"n the beginning it had it's stability issues, but it became stable."
"The platform's data visualization features need improvement."
"The performance could improve and in a future release, they could provide more virtualization options."
"The pricing model could be improved. Right now, it's quite confusing. Many customers have this feeling that it's a super-expensive option."
"Setup and migration are very complex. Technically, Oracle accessory is extremely complex. These days, the industry demands a kind of Excel analysis, which is very easy to install, set up, and it's very developer-friendly as well as end-user friendly. OBIEE lacks all those features."
"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."
"We needed some technical expertise during setup."
