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
The solution is used mainly for reporting purposes. We generate PDFs, which are delivered to the recipient via email We can set any property dynamically. We have to use different currencies. Sometimes, we use the pound sign. Sometimes, we use the dollar sign. Our software is a multi-currency…

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The technical support services are good."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"It has helped to consolidate data and report on a single version of the truth."
"Oracle OBIEE is a scary and stable product since it is a strong and well-created tool... In short, the solution is stable since it works properly every day."
"A great feature of the solution is its stability."
"The security is good. For example, we can implement column-level security."
"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."
"We can set any property dynamically."
"The designer is the most valuable feature."
"I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"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."
"It's easy to use and maintain."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...The deployment process of TIBCO Jaspersoft is easy."
 

Cons

"Oracle OBIEEE's performance and licensing costs could be improved."
"The main problem we face is migrating all of the reports into the solution."
"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."
"In our organization, we feel that data visualization for APIs is an area in which the solution lacks."
"It crashes when many people login simultaneously."
"The platform's interface needs improvement."
"Expanding beyond pure data reporting and into analytics, or expanding data science, would be areas for improvement."
"The reporting templates have room for improvement."
"The upgrades are not easy."
"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."
"I would like to see better support for big data."
"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."
"Customization is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"For the license in part of Oracle, my company makes yearly payments."
"Be prepared to spend a lot of time and money."
"It is high."
"Compared with the other products in the market, I feel Oracle OBIEE is an expensive product."
"The pricing we negotiated with Oracle. But, I do not have details."
"Oracle products are extremely 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."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."
"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."
"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."
