Oracle OBIEE Reviews

We use it for analyzing our sales, our processes. So far, it is good.

It has unified the reporting within the group. Previously, each business unit had its own report. Now we have the unified report, so everyone can look at the same picture at the same time.

I think the most valuable features are the ability to drill down, the graphs, and the scheduling for the reports to be received in Excel on a daily basis. Users like Excel, so it's good for them that they receive the reports by email, that they don't have to specify the schedule.

We are looking at Power BI and Data Visualization from Oracle, because it has more appealing graphics. This is going to be the next step, if we do move at all. 

It's very stable. 

It is scalable.

Technical support is good. I would give it a rating of seven out of 10.

We did not have a previous solution.

The most important criteria when selecting a vendor include 

• support - that is one of the important things 
• availability of partners to help if we need anything
• integration with ERP systems and the other tools that each company would have.

It was straightforward.

We only evaluated Oracle at that time.

I would rate it at eight out of 10. It has very good features but it is missing going quickly into the cloud, and virtualization - unlike other vendors.

• Dashboards
• KPIs
• Scorecards
• Analysis
• Reporting

Working as a BI Consultant, I have to develop different analyses, reports and dashboard documents to analyze the status of different business measures. We are using OBIEE and MicroStrategy for the purpose of enterprise performance management by defining and describing different business perspectives and objectives, Initiatives and results are analyzed on the basis of these defined attributes.

I've been using it for six months to a year.

Sometimes there is an issue of font size, spacing and other related formatting document issues.

We've experienced no issues with performance. However, the larger amount of number of selectors, filters etc. you have, the longer it will take to display an analysis.

It's been able to scale for our needs.

7/10

8/10

I started with OBIEE, and I am still using it for References.

It was straightforward.

We implemented it in-house.

We're also using MicroStrategy.

If you are looking for Purely Performance Management of a whole Enterprise, then you should choose OBIEEE, otherwise choose MicroStrategy.

Powerful, interactive and high performance reports and dashboards.

More reports views and enhance user interactivity.

Around 6 years, previously 10g but now 11g.

If you use Arabic reports names in the default reports path on windows you will face "Path too long" problem because all names are encrypted in hexadecimal format.

Immediate shutdown for services may crash the system.

No issues encountered.

No

Straightforward set-up.

No.

Go ahead it is a very good, stable and reliable product.

• Delta extracts
• Scheduler
• Multiple delivery options
• Word and Excel integration to create report templates

A lot of manual processes, e-forms and paper forms were replaced by automated interfaces and reports.

Customer support and documentation.

I've used it for 15 months.

No, we're using the cloud service.

No issues encountered.

There are slow processing times sometimes, and with it being a cloud solution, the infrastructure is out of our control.

4/10.

3/10.

No, we were switching from manual business processes.

It was quite complex, due to many business-specific requirements. OTB extracts and reports couldn't be used, so customized ones were created.

Two external vendors, one from the US with a high level of expertise and one from Australia with a medium level of expertise.

It's a good product with a lot of functionality, customization, a relative easy-of-use.

I use this primarily for our passports. 

The most valuable feature is the openness of the solution. It helps us integrate some of our clients. 

The functionality is in need of improvement. We find the graphs need to be upgraded. 

The stability is good. But, we are a small team. We have not yet tested it in a larger setting.

In terms of tech support, we have our own technicians. But, we did register for their help. When we register a call, it takes time for them to respond to us.

We used Microsoft BI in the past.

The pricing we negotiated with Oracle. But, I do not have details.

It has a lot workaround in order to do the report. data blending, and getting information from big data sources.

It allows us to control inventory and warehouse management (by using the features listed in the previous answer).

Supply chain and finance.

10 years.

Yes, in the previous release of the administration tool, there were a lot of issues, and compatibility issues that didn't work with OBIEE.

No, I can scale out horizontally and vertically.

Seven out of 10. There is not much technical support. Sometimes, I have to find the solution myself.

This is a pretty cool, enterprise BI tool. If you can, do a drill back against Oracle EBS.

In terms of features, everything is good. It is also stable and scalable.

It is complex for designing RPD, and it can be simpler. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time.

I have been using this solution for eight or nine years.

It is stable. We didn't have any issues.

It is scalable.

I have contacted them, and they are generally good, but sometimes, we get a late response.

I would recommend this solution to others. I would rate Oracle OBIEE an eight out of ten.

We have an enterprise type of environment, where we have 80 applications. We are using OBIEE for our data reporting.

Oracle OBIEE improves our day-to-day, but it is not a very user-friendly tool, according to some of our users. In my opinion it is very user-friendly.

There is an enterprise type of repository; you can make changes in the repository and it will affect the whole application. Other tools don't have a combined repository.

From a business perspective, it's not user-friendly.

No stability issues.

I think it is scalable. Whenever we have a new patch or update, the old functions are also available after applying it.

I have not used tech support.

It's a good tool, but its overall organization as an analytical tool, the layout of OBIEE, is not very good.

I would rate it a seven out of 10, overall. OBIEE doesn't have audit logs. Also because, in our own organization each department gets its user own ID, in OBIEE if we provide rights to them, they are the administrators of OBIEE. That means there is no distinguishing between user management and administration.
