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 scalable and stable product that enables users to set properties dynamically

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the ability to set up the automated delivery of reports."
"The most valuable feature is the visualization."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is its ease of use."
"The setup isn't too difficult."
"Some of the dashboard capabilities are good. The dashboard capabilities that tell you what kind of reports are available and provide you a summary of the reports are valuable. It is easy to navigate and easy to download reports into Excel to utilize them."
"The most valuable features are the lexical parameters and distribution."
"We have scheduled reports delivered automatically to our business users using enterprise features."
"Both the vertical and horizontal scalability of the solution is good. In terms of scalability, I would rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."
"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."
"You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards."
"We find the access restrictions on different user groups valuable."
"I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."
"We can set any property dynamically."
"It's easy to use and maintain."
 

Cons

"This solution is weak in the data science perspective. I have past data science experience. And, I find that there is a lot of room for improvement in terms of incorporating more advanced statistical modeling into the product."
"I would rate its current performance as a five out of ten because a lot of features are missed out in OBIEE."
"I would like to see Machine Learning included in this solution."
"It crashes when many people login simultaneously."
"Even though we have a feature to enable the physical query to be seen in the log, in case of any issues, it is challenging to debug and see or identify where is the issue. For example, we designed the OBIEE repository and deployed it into the server, and we are now accessing and creating a report. For some reason, if the report is not working as expected, it is very difficult to identify the issue. We have a feature to see the physical query that is being generated in the central OBIEE server. I feel that this feature should have been available at the repository level so that while designing the repository, we can select the presentation columns and the query it is going to create. This will avoid the additional task of deploying a feature into the server and then testing the report. It will also make the implementation process friendly if, while designing the repository, we can see: How is a feature working? Are any of the presentation columns selected? How is the query being generated? Which query is being generated? Are any joints used? What kind of joints are used? Having this kind of information will make Oracle OBIEE more powerful and developer-friendly."
"Oracle OBIEE can improve the ease of use. It is a lot to learn and it could be made easier."
"We needed some technical expertise during setup."
"It's not so flexible to do BI reporting directly from the data source without models. It is not that agile."
"TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports."
"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."
"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."
"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."
"Customization is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement."
"We'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing."
"I would like to see better support for big data."
"The upgrades are not easy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle products are extremely expensive."
"This is a very costly product."
"It is an expensive solution."
"It's comparable to the current technology we're using, Qlik Sense."
"If you compare Qlik Sense and Oracle OBIEE licensing, then Oracle products are much better. With Qlik Sense, you have to pay per client and per use. But we get Oracle OBIEE along with the Oracle database, making it much more cost-effective in the long term."
"I think to spread this across an enterprise will be a significant investment."
"The company had twenty-five Oracle OBIEE licenses and never expanded. Price-wise, the solution is expensive."
"The licensing cost is based on the number of users using it."
"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."
"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."
"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."

Jaspersoft vs. Pentaho – Which one to use & is there any need to purchase the commercial edition
