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.

A customizable solution that helps to pull reports and send them as emails
We were manually populating things but the tool has helped us automate the process. We could pull the report automatically and send it as an email.  The tool is customizable, and it is not limited to any feature that it is built upon. You can do anything that you would like to do.  You need to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There are some great new features in the latest version."
"The dashboard and analysis are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It's easy to use for business analysts."
"The solution has great reporting and forecasting capabilities."
"The most valuable features of Oracle OBIEE are the ease of logging in, the dashboard, and showing the problems in the data. Additionally, the reports are well integrated and it has good technology."
"The scalability of the product is good."
"Its robustness is most valuable. It can handle massive amounts of data quickly. If it's properly configured and tuned, it can handle massive amounts of data very quickly to produce results. That to me is the number one feature."
"They are introducing AI. There are good forecasting features and machine learning."
"We were manually populating things but the tool has helped us automate the process. We could pull the report automatically and send it as an email."
 

Cons

"The platform's data visualization features need improvement."
"Oracle OBIEE could improve the visualizations, such as diagrams, charts, and graphical user interface. Other tools on the market have better graphical visualizations this Oracle OBIEE."
"When a large number of queries are running at the same time, the report fails."
"Warehouse and business intelligence are two different things, but OBIEE also has some warehouse features in it. I would like to see some of those capabilities improved."
"Oracle OBIEE has a steep learning curve compared to tools like SQL Server or Power BI. In situations where complex problem-solving is required, Oracle's support tends to direct users to sales representatives with limited technical knowledge, which is less than ideal."
"Retail, Finance, Wholesale"
"Customer service/technical support gets five out of 10. Sometimes good, sometimes bad."
"In the on-premises version, the feature for connecting and selecting the data between the databases looks a bit cumbersome, but I am not sure. The person who is using it takes a lot of time to design a data warehouse. When I ask him why is it taking this long, I get a response that this is something that he has to design, and there are different tools that are available. He has to write the ETL and design the warehouse according to the customer's requirement, which takes a lot of time. Its visualization should be enhanced, and there should be a feature where you can easily create your custom data warehouse."
"You need to put queries manually. When you customize, you need to put queries manually."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The company had twenty-five Oracle OBIEE licenses and never expanded. Price-wise, the solution is expensive."
"It is high."
"Its licensing is yearly."
"In our organization, we use a user-based license for Oracle OBIEE, and I've heard that the license cost is based on the number of users."
"The licensing cost for Oracle OBIEE is expensive."
"The price of Oracle OBIEE is expensive, it is difficult for a small business to afford."
"Pricing is an area that could be improved."
"Oracle products are extremely expensive."
