Great reporting and graphics but integration needs to be improved
One area for improvement would be integration. We've had problems with bottlenecks when creating the data warehouse because we didn't have all the information available. Integration also isn't as easy with Oracle BI as with other tools like Power BI or Tableau. In the next release, I'd like Oracle to include the ability to integrate with information that comes from large sources.

Reliability and support ensure secure financial messaging over decades
The most valuable feature of SWIFTnet FIN is its reliability. For a bank, reliability is the most critical aspect. We also appreciate the extensive support facilities available worldwide. SWIFTnet FIN's services provide us with reliable connections to entities like European Central Bank, and we plan to join CLS as a direct member through SWIFTnet FIN. The store and forward feature, along with real-time messaging services, are crucial for our operations. Their security measures and compliance with CSP program ensure the highest safety standards. Audits and assessments by companies like KPMG and Ernst & Young further validate SWIFTnet FIN's reliability.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Oracle BI has improved our organization by having a more robust solution than Oracle Discoverer."
"Calculations are a little bit faster, and it can do the on-the-run calculations much better than other reporting platforms, so you don't need any other specific tool and can use Microsoft Office to start doing things with these reports."
"The pre-built data models are great, as is rapid implementation so that you can use all of the pre-developed Oracle features rather than doing the heavy lifting."
"There is a multitude of already developed objects that allow you to create and/or improve existing reports in a reasonably easy way."
"It has a very robust dashboard and ad-hoc reporting."
"The most valuable features are the reporting and the graphics."
"It's web-based so that I can have multiple users accessing the same data. It provides ease of use and its formatting means we can use the data, export it to Excel, and we manipulate the data afterward if we need to."
"It provides the ability to interact with financial institutions and apply the same rules."
"The most valuable feature of SWIFTnet FIN is its reliability."
"Their technical support is very professional."
 

Cons

"Technical Support is not great. I do not have much to complain about, as I only had a few questions with no response."
"The initial setup was difficult because not all the information was included in the implementation model."
"It is very cumbersome and slow for making any changes. It doesn't have that many visuals to show different graphs and charts. It should have more visuals. It also doesn't support HTML5, which is useful for interactive sessions and reporting with dashboard etc. We are phasing it out because we need a newer platform that provides us more flexibility and more designs. Our use case is just to get the utility type of monthly reports, and we need visuals, customizations, columns, and certain sections on the report to show performance and other things. They are not updating their BI Publisher product, which was known as XML Publisher before Oracle bought it. It could be because they don't have that many clients using it. We are using it because we have this solution for years."
"As far as costs are concerned, as their current version of SQL Server is now on a Linux platform, it's now become something that we are starting to look at it."
"It was really unstable when it was first released on 11.1.1.7.1 back in May of 2013, but it has slowly become more stable over time."
"It is very cumbersome and slow for making any changes."
"The initial setup was complex and it took a lot of time to set up the infrastructure."
"While SWIFTnet FIN is a robust system, there is room for minor improvements in scalability and installation complexity."
"I would like for them to work in real-time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As with any case study that we’ve ever done, it’s not so much a problem with the application or security or anything of that nature. It’s basically the cost infrastructure. Compared to other solutions, it’s one of the more costly solutions out there. It’s the biggest concern nowadays that upper management has."
"It is expensive. It is more than 100K for support. You pay for support on top of the standard licensing, which is on a yearly basis."
