Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."The solution is stable and reliable."
"It is highly efficient and easily scalable, particularly for handling large databases."
"It helps us fetch specific data sets per users' requirements."
"Essbase is extremely stable and low-maintenance."
"I have found the most valuable aspect is the user-friendly environment and current features."
"The solution is scalable."
"Unlike relational, where you're linking together multiple tables, with Essbase, you basically define what the dimensions are beforehand, and you define the hierarchy, and then load the data. This allows you to do a pretty sophisticated analysis so that you can drill into it and slice and dice the data."
"The solution can handle a large volume of data."
"From a scalability standpoint, I would say it's pretty fantastic."
"This solution allows us to integrate data from across all client departments, for effective reporting via a single dashboard."
"One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis."
"The two features that I have found most valuable are its ability to customize the dashboards when it comes to the evaluation. The second feature is its ability to handle a large amount of data, which is also something very unique about it."
"The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions."
"The out-of-the-box features are simple and easy to use across the board."
"The ability to connect to many different data sources is one of the key features. The other would then be the different ways in which that data can be visualized."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"Essbase has a programming language, and it has a couple of functions to do forecasting, however, their feature set for that is not that good."
"They should improve the solution's performance."
"I would like to see an integration with application performance management and a version control management tool."
"There is room for improvement in terms of cost-effectiveness."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"It's an expensive product to use."
"The initial setup is pretty complex."
"The ability to drive external reporting out for development could be improved."
"When it comes to data manipulation, there are features which are good, but one of the features which has really been missing in Spotfire is an offline ability for data manipulation."
"The number of charts available out of the box in Spotfire can be enhanced."
"I would like more easy-to-implement analytical algorithms. At the moment they include things like forecasts and regressions. They need to add a lot more of these types of things to the product because not everyone is a data scientist."
"I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients."
"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support."
"Print capability and trigger-based events."
"We would like to see some development in the visualization aspect of this solution, as they can currently only be configured in the cloud, which limits us to one endpoint. It would be helpful if this could be integrated with other tools."
"Compared to competitors, the UI is quite dated."
