We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"In terms of features, everything is good. It is also stable and scalable.""It mostly supports enterprise level data. We have millions of records on a daily basis.""It is a stable and scalable solution.""I have not personally used any such products related to this service, however based on the popular opinion, Microsoft Power BI is more popular. We have never switched from this software due to infrastructure and license related costs. However, my team acknowledges that the Power BI is much more enhanced and includes features that are easier to use, including its drag and drop features. I am not sure, if OBIEE has these features, due to lack of updated versions.""The solution offers a wide range of software tools to meet various needs, such as those concerning reports, developer solutions like APEX and the integration of data.""The primary reason for using OBIEE is connectivity with Oracle E-Business Suite. It makes it easy to connect with our Oracle E-Business Suite. There are the standard dashboards available, which we sometimes use, and now we are looking for customized dashboards.""The most valuable features of Oracle OBIEE are ease of use, the graphical user interface is simple to understand, and the reports can be done without problems. There are many tutorials and training materials available if needed.""I think having the conformed structures makes it a lot easier for end users and pulling reports together."

"​Allows users to build their own solutions without as much reliance on technology staff.""The dashboard design interface is very intuitive and allows you to quickly and easily produce professional, innovative dashboards.""Whenever we have an issue or are unsure how to proceed, they manage to simplify the issue and help us execute it in a graceful and scalable way.""A very simple setup: Easy to download, install, and updates are pain free.""The most valuable thing I have found is the ability for Sisense to connect data from totally different sources.""I have found the dashboard creating feature helpful.""ElastiCube Manager is a very easy to use ETL tool, which includes the ability to easily transform raw data into reusable data.""We like that this solution allows us to use data cubes to set up specific visualizations."

Cons
"Oracle OBIEE could improve by having better integration and compatibility with other vendors.""The platform's interface needs improvement.""The performance could be better.""The development effort takes longer than other BI tools currently on the market.""It is not a good product for data visualization.""They should make the dashboard more intuitive.""BI Server""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."

More Oracle OBIEE Cons →

"I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes.""The solution's setup process could be easier.""The initial version we purchased only ran on Windows servers, which was less than ideal for our DevOps team. I believe that has been remedied in the latest release.""This solution does not have tabs. In order to have tabs, you have to download an add-on to mimic the tabs. They should be integrated to improve the solution.""They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard.""I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums.""The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing.""Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes.

    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."
