"I like the scheduling feature. It has an inbuilt scheduler which is very good, and it allows us to create agents, and those agents can be scheduled. It's quite flexible in that respect and goes into our IT infrastructure. The outputs are sent encrypted to various endpoints. Some are internal, and some are our clients, and it's encrypted at a high level. I do find Oracle OBIEE flexible. If there is stuff that's not in your model or schema, it's very flexible to create SQL scripts and create the data you want. It's quite nice to create a dashboard in OBIEE, and that's pretty straightforward in the way you drag and drop everything. You can create sections, and you can add elements to your page. That bit of the interface is relatively straightforward."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the various scenarios the product offers and its stability."
"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."
"It is easy to create a report quickly. It does not take much time to create an ad hoc report."
"We have scheduled reports delivered automatically to our business users using enterprise features."
"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."
"I am looking forward to testing their full graphics that are available, as they looked very interesting in the demo."
"Great capability, performance, flexibility, visuals, and the solution is also very cost effective."
"Customer service/technical support gets five out of 10. Sometimes good, sometimes bad."
"Oracle OBIEE only displays KPIs, but it does not include strategic objectives or display risk in a strategic map."
"It takes a lot of maintenance to support the architecture, which is something that should be improved."
"The pricing model could be improved. Right now, it's quite confusing. Many customers have this feeling that it's a super-expensive option."
"The complexity of this product means that you need to have a technical team to develop the reports, although this is also true for products like Microsoft BI and Zoho."
"Managing the OB applications requires a high level of experience, and makes the solution quite heavy."
"The solution needs to be easier to scale."
"Particularly on the Cloud, a lot of functionality has yet to be ported."
"Would like the ability to be able to benchmark."
"There should be a better or an easier way to establish that connection to external sources."
