Though comprehensive, it is expensive
The solution's most valuable feature is that it is a very comprehensive tool. Oracle OBIEE is a really robust tool for a very large enterprise implementation. Its features in terms of physical data model to logical data model building are all really robust. Though somebody else had developed the tool for the client for whom I used the tool, it was very well done. The data modeling was very well done, and it depends on the person who is executing it, as I hadn't developed it. I had just enhanced it. I had seen whatever my role was, but somebody had initially developed it. It was developed very well. It has a fantastic feature of documenting. When you work with many clients, you see the documentation is always missing, and you end up taking up some other vendor's job. It is usually very hard to figure out technically what was done, what was not done, and where the data is, so the data dictionaries are not up to date, and information documentation is always very poor. Oracle OBIEE has a built-in feature where you can actually create entire documentation of all the data elements and how they are linked, and it throws out HTML documents that are all interlinked, so if you have an entire directory structure, it helps create the document. You can find out which logical model links to which physical table, and it is very easy to identify. There are multiple combinations if you want to identify one particular table and how many models are involved. You just need to click a hyperlink click, and it gives you all the information. If somebody has made any enhancements, you can just regenerate the document as there is a component of the tool that generates the documentation automatically, which is brilliant, I think.

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 of Oracle OBIEE is its ability to handle large volumes of data and provide traditional BI functionalities that developers can easily understand."
"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."
"The dashboard and analysis are the most valuable features of this solution."
"In terms of features, everything is good. It is also stable and scalable."
"It has helped to consolidate data and report on a single version of the truth."
"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 performance can issue queries to work in the Oracle database in Oracle's native language. There are a lot of visualizations which suit our business."
"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."
"We find the access restrictions on different user groups valuable."
"The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive."
"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."
"I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...The deployment process of TIBCO Jaspersoft is easy."
"It offers high processing power for report generation and is cost-effective."
"The designer is the most valuable feature."
"We can set any property dynamically."
 

Cons

"While it is a user-friendly, data-driven tool, the data modeling should be easier to use."
"There's a lot of redundancy, especially in relation to creating the code."
"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."
"The performance could improve and in a future release, they could provide more virtualization options."
"Managing the OB applications requires a high level of experience, and makes the solution quite heavy."
"Supply chain and finance."
"BI Server"
"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."
"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."
"The upgrades are not easy."
"There might be some compatibility issues with the dashboard if we're using the latest version and some clients are using the older version. Some features might not be supported."
"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."
"Currently, JSON format is the main format we use, however, in TIBCO Jaspersoft, XML format is the default and JSON did not work because TIBCO did not fix it."
"I would like to see better support for big data."
"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."
"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is reasonable, but it depends on how you're going to use it. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"For the license in part of Oracle, my company makes yearly payments."
"The pricing we negotiated with Oracle. But, I do not have details."
"In our organization, we use a user-based license for Oracle OBIEE, and I've heard that the license cost is based on the number of users."
"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."
"Be prepared to spend a lot of time and money."
"I think to spread this across an enterprise will be a significant investment."
"The licensing cost is based on the number of users using it."
"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."
"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."
"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."
