Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE, for me, would be the Web Catalog. From a development perspective, I do not need any client or any software to be installed on my laptop or desktop. Everything is browser-based, so I just open the browser and start development."
"Oracle OBIEE is a scary and stable product since it is a strong and well-created tool... In short, the solution is stable since it works properly every day."
"The main features of this solution are that it is easy to use, intuitive, and user-friendly. When I retrieve the data from the database it is in a very raw form, then when I use the Oracle Report Builder it has advanced intelligence features to allow me to view and make changes to the data easily."
"The scalability of the product is good."
"It has helped to consolidate data and report on a single version of the truth."
"It has a lot workaround in order to do the report. data blending, and getting information from big data sources."
"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."
"There are some great new features in the latest version."
"It is a stable product."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."
"The initial setup is not very complex."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
"E-T-L, The Extract, Transform, and Loading capabilities of QlikView make it a highly sophisticated self-service business intelligence tool for developers and analysts."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"What I really love about the software is that I have never struggled in implementing it for complex business requirements. It is good for highly sophisticated and specialized statistics in the areas that some people tend to call artificial intelligence. It is used for everything that involves visual presentation and analysis of highly sophisticated statistics for forecasting and other purposes."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"The technical support services are good."
"Quick deployment to dashboards and analytics features (using SAS Visual Statistics and Enterprise Guide). Easy to create a simple forecast and discover business insights using segmentation tools."
"It's a stable, reliable product."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"We were not satisfied with the support, because we could not obtain answers or solutions."
"In terms of tech support, we have our own technicians. But, we did register for their help. When we register a call, it takes time for them to respond to us."
"The development effort takes longer than other BI tools currently on the market."
"The solution needs to be easier to scale."
"It takes a lot of maintenance to support the architecture, which is something that should be improved."
"There's a lot of redundancy, especially in relation to creating the code."
"It needs a better security management system."
"When a large number of queries are running at the same time, the report fails."
"Improvements are required in the hide and unhide functionality that falls under the layout container feature that has been used in my company in recent times."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."
"If a user wanted to see something not included in the application the new object had to be created by a power user or developer because Qlik view's scripting has somewhat of a learning curve."
"The user interface is old."
"Although Qliktech's road map clearly states that QlikView has a long way to go, most of the R&D effort seems to be benefiting Qlik Sense."
"They could improve the update time."
"The charts and tables could use better sorting, primarily using other variables than the ones on the figure. If they could implement views like in the older version (previous to Viya), it would be very nice."
"The visualization should be better in SAS Visual Analytics. It is easy to use but when compared to other solutions it is lacking and the support is not very good."
"There are scalability issues. It depends on the data volume and number of end-users. VA requires a lot of hardware resources to move volumes of data."
"The deployment isn't smooth. Deploying Visual Analytics on the cloud takes a lot of work, or you can use some providers that give you SAS as a service. For example, there is a provider called SaasNow. They host SAS Visual Analytics and the license. You can buy the license and deploy it there without the hassle of installation because deploying the software isn't easy."
"There is a need for coding when it comes to digital reporting which can be intimidating."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
"It is not as mature as competitors such as Tableau and QlikView."
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
