We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Dashboards provide us with various views and perspectives on our data, allowing us to analyze metrics such as revenue, occupancy rates, etc.""It mostly supports enterprise level data. We have millions of records on a daily basis.""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.""The solution is user-friendly.""It provides excellent stability.""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.""It doesn't have many frills and is definitely older technology, but it is undeniably a workhorse.""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."

"What I like best about this solution is that it is built into the SAP line, making it easier to integrate with other SAP products.""SAP Analytics Hub offers a user-friendly interface with effortless configuration, seamless updates, and real-time availability of information. It avoids the complexities associated with batch processing, providing a smooth and efficient experience.""Data consistency is also a notable feature; the system takes care of data consistency, so you don't need to handle it manually.""This product provides good reports using a single pane of glass.""For report scheduling, I always prefer SAP because it has the most powerful scheduling features, like sending reports to more than 1,000 customers per day. That option is not as good in Microsoft BI and in Tableau it only exists as an add-on option."

More SAP Analytics Hub Pros →

"Scheduling of reports and dashboards is the most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics.""The initial setup is straightforward.""I like the way I can share dashboards and embed dashboards. I normally use embedding. So, I create a dashboard, and I embed it into specific websites. Sharing of the dashboard is seamless, and it is easier than any other visualization platform, even Tableau.""Ask Zia is a great feature that I use to quickly decide what improvements I need to make in order to present the data that I want to show.""The data source is the most valuable feature as it can perform any function.""It's a very strong analytics tool.""The solution’s dashboard is very good.""Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."

Cons
"I would like to see the data wrangling features enhanced.""One significant improvement is the need for simplification. The set up could be more intuitive. An enterprise setup with HA and DR are pretty complex and to get a robust solution one has to play around with Real Application Cluster data sources and FAN notifications as well as WebLogic clustering and external load balancers. SSO also is not that simple to set up especially if you want all your Oracle systems to use the same SSO solution, i.e., no cheating with direct LDAP connectivity.""For a beginner, this is a product that is difficult to learn. You cannot learn it quickly.""It needs a better security management system.""They should make the dashboard more intuitive.""There should be more integration in the solution. For example, there should be one solution with multiple functionalities so that other solutions are not needed. Having one solution with all the needed functionality would be helpful.""We needed some technical expertise during setup.""The performance could improve and in a future release, they could provide more virtualization options."

More Oracle OBIEE Cons →

"The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience.""The technical support for Analytics Hub is limited and could be improved.""Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub.""The analytics part of SAP has not been that good up until now. They're still in the infant stage and development is still going on. SAP has some cloud analytics and they're trying to configure it in Lumira, but it's not that good at this point.""Pricing and support are integrated into the system. However, the support process can be challenging, particularly when navigating the SAP support site, which lacks user-friendliness and ease of access."

More SAP Analytics Hub Cons →

"The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support.""In terms of improvement, they have a limited number of graphs available in their store. They should come up with more graph style forms. They should have more charts and at the same time, you can't create panels like with Microsoft BA.""There should be more types of graphics available for use in the reports.""The navigation on the interface is not intuitive.""The platform's pricing needs improvement.""I like the solution's Query Table feature which helps me write SQL queries. We can get data from different tables and then use it to create reports.""This solution does not support manufacturing facilities.""The hourly pricing needs improvement."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Sandeep V., Process System Engineer at a comms service provider, tells us, “This solution is very easy for people who are building ad-hoc things. It's an enterprise solution so it can be deployed for a lot of users. There are some great new features that come with the 12c like data visualization, desktop BI Publisher, automation, and interactive dashboards. The product has good features. “ 

    A user who is a CEO at a consultancy relates, “The most valuable feature is the visualization. The data warehousing, data storage, and data wrangling are all features that are in there, and it's one of the better products out there. A good thing is that for large datasets, it's very stable, especially when you have an Oracle database.”

    A user who is a Principal Business Intelligence Architect at a computer software company suggests, "It is very biased towards Oracle infrastructure. One of the major red flags we have at the moment against Oracle is that it doesn't support deployment on other cloud providers. We're quite heavily vested in AWS as our infrastructure, and Oracle is yet to formally support deploying on those virtual infrastructure instances. That's quite disappointing, and it also cuts them out of over 70% of the market."



    SAP Analytics Hub simplifies access to analytics scattered across multiple heterogeneous environments. The solution recommends the best analytics to fit personalized needs and grants users with actionable insights without compromising agility.

    Zoho Reports is a powerful, easy-to-use and highly scalable cloud-based reporting and business intelligence platform for small to medium-sized businesses. Its flexible pay-as-you-go pricing model and scope for customization allow businesses to tailor it to their unique needs.
