We use the dashboard, analytics, and fast report generation. New reports are hard to use.

What is most valuable?

The best features are the dashboard and the analytics. The report generation is very fast.

How has it helped my organization?

At the organizational level, it's pretty secure. The security is the best part. We use OBIEE with QlikView as a composition of that, so that both of these applications support each other.

What needs improvement?

I think for ease of use, right now, OBIEE is a nice tool. Business users can use the reports nicely, but with a lot of the new reports, some IT guys are still required. If they could make that easier, because the business users don't understand the SQLs. If that could be some kind of GUI drag and drop for those fields, it would be quite awesome.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We haven’t had any issues with downtime. It’s quite good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's quite a heavy tool, and can be scaled to any level.

How are customer service and support?

Support is good.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Actually, we have all sorts of Oracle applications in our stack. We use SQL.

What other advice do I have?

Use OBIEE if you have large data to process for heavy duty applications. If you are using it for a small to mid-sized company, OBIEE doesn't make much sense. It is for large enterprises.

Its charts, drill-downs, and maps features improve the way we build charts and obtain graphical representations of data.

Drill Downs
Variables especially- session variables
Maps

Improvements to My Organization

For building charts and graphical representations, we don't have to do much work, so in that area it's good.

Room for Improvement

Customers are expecting many out of box things, which, currently, OBIEE doesn't support. e.g. customers are expecting pop up boxes with messages, and navigation. There are lots of buttons for navigating, downloading and invoking etc. Just like in the current version of OBIEE, we are dragging sections, text boxes in building the dashboard, in the same way as we can get pop up boxes, and buttons, we don't need to write Javascripts. In the market, we are getting many additional tools.

Use of Solution

I've been using this product for the past three years. As I'm working as an OBIEE Developer, I am using this tool most of the time.

Deployment Issues

There were no big issues.

Stability Issues

There were no big issues.

Scalability Issues

There were no big issues.

Customer Service and Technical Support

Average. Their guys are taking much time in resolving issues. They might be experts, but still there is lot of lag in delivering good support.
