"For me, it makes the difference is in terms of our users being able to take advantage of a product which allows you to get access to data, reports, make decisions quickly, and have better insights regarding operations."
"Provides good data visualization features, and provides a lot of visualization reports from various data sources."
"The centralized metadata model component is most valuable."
"It is easy to create a report quickly. It does not take much time to create an ad hoc report."
"The dashboard and analysis are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is its ability to handle large volumes of data and provide traditional BI functionalities that developers can easily understand."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is its ease of use."
"The solution has a lot of customization when comparing to Microsoft BI."
"I have found Tableau easy to use and the features are superb."
"It is very easy to create dashboards, charts, and graphs."
"It's very easy to visualize data with this product. The visualization maps of and frames that we have been able to cross-reference has been excellent."
"The ability to deploy is the added ability to centralise the Tableau repository for all Tableau Developers."
"There is a lot of APIs available, which means that Tableau can be customized to a large extent."
"The product’s performance is better than other tools."
"Good data flow and management."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"I would say the return on investment is good. Whatever we invested, we got results. We have been finding it easy to use and onboard new use cases."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"I like ThoughtSpot's search capabilities. You can also create custom analytics even if you aren't an experienced data analyst. We have users with no data analytics experience making some of the dashboards we've created, copying components, and customizing them to their specific use cases."
"It's easy to drill down or expand data to get more details right out of the box."
"The scalability is good."
"The ability to do ad hoc explorations of data has been most valuable."
"ThoughtSpot takes the modifying of existing reports out of our hands."
"It was a little bit tedious to install a new release."
"OBIEE doesn't have audit logs."
"We needed some technical expertise during setup."
"It needs a better security management system."
"The drawback with the tool is that though it is well-created, its users are under-trained to use it."
"It crashes when many people login simultaneously."
"There's a lot of redundancy, especially in relation to creating the code."
"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."
"To be the best in the market, Tableau has to improve its user interface and also look into developing implementing the best machine learning algorithms."
"Maybe the price could be a bit cheaper, especially if you're a personal developer that uses Tableau just to explore smaller data sets and you're not a company or something like that."
"The price of Tableau is too high."
"It is not so great when it comes to data exchange/integration, data mining, etc."
"The price could be better."
"The solution needs to improve its integration capabilities."
"It would be nice if we could export more raw data. Currently, there is a limit as to how much data you can export."
"The tool's OpenAI integration was announced last year. However, it is late. Tableau is a good solution for end customers. However, there are some concerns regarding the stability and performance of its server architecture, including SaaS services. The server side appears unstable, and performance issues are noticeable, often accompanied by unclear error messages."
"The dashboards could give you more ability to fine tune the appearance. You get a great deal more control over how something looks in Power BI than you do in ThoughtSpot."
"ThoughtSpot is a fairly new product, so some usability aspects aren't as mature as we'd like them to be. One example is their organizational methodology, like how objects are organized in their dashboards inside the product. They're all on a flat list, which works if you've got five or 10 dashboards. However, it's insufficient when you're a large enterprise with multiple groups looking at the same dashboards. It isn't organized well."
"The one area of the solution that I do hear needs improvement is on the visualization front."
"In terms of features, I'd like to be able to pivot data - for example, going from rows to columns. It's not easy to do."
"If I want to order columns, this feature is not there."
"A customized visualization is lacking in this product."
"The most difficult thing I found is that it only deals with the files and does not have direct connectivity to databases."
"I would like to see more flexibility in adding the pins. Currently, we have four different sizes in which I can add pins, but I would like to be able to resize my pins."
