These are the most powerful tools that set BusinessObjects' reporting from other solutions. If my organization has 300 or 400 tables, I can combine all of them into one universe, and everyone can use that. It is just a schematic layout that does not hold any data but the table relationships."

"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."
"OBIEE doesn't have audit logs."
"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."
"The drawback with the tool is that though it is well-created, its users are under-trained to use it."
"It's not so flexible to do BI reporting directly from the data source without models. It is not that agile."
"Supply chain and finance."
"Oracle OBIEE is a product that is not easy to implement. The product is also not easy to use."
"An area for improvement is that Oracle pushes more users to Oracle BI Publisher rather than emphasizing Oracle OBIEE for reporting. The pricing for Oracle OBIEE could be improved."
"Its price should be better. It is expensive and not cost-effective. It should also be improved in terms of end-user experience. It requires further improvements for usability and ease of use. It should have more dashboarding metrics and much faster integration with ERP so that when you double click, you can instantly see the scenario-based result."
"Most of the Apps right now are into dashboarding. This tool, for the Crystal Reports in the phase I'm primarily working on, does not have those dashboarding capabilities, like in the other advanced tools like Power BI or ClickView, and compared to them the dashboard generation is not that great."
"The self-service area, or dashboard, needs some improvement. While the reporting itself is great, the dashboard and Analytics Cloud are not user friendly."
"The combination of Lumira along with Design Studio merger last year still needs development from a visualization standpoint."
"SAP BusinessObjects is actually losing popularity within our company because people find the user interface and the way things are set up not to be as easy as many other tools that are on the market, like Qlik and things like that."
"We would like to see a native version of BusinessObjects and Web Intelligence created for the cloud."
"The dashboard tool is called Lumira and it is very uncomfortable for developers to use. They should improve this in the future."
"SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform should be made easier for the end-users and the performance could be improved."
