Oracle Reports Reviews

As a partner, I use Oracle Reports to develop many reports for my customers, including operational reports, business reports, third-party customer reports, and letters.

It's easy to build an OTBI, and it doesn't take much time to create a report for the customer or business purposes.

The primary use case is for financial  and Health care reporting.

Our financial department has to provide our managers with reports on how the product is doing every month and on a yearly basis

With this solution, we can provide the managerial-level reports to show them the profits, losses, company expenses, and assets.

The most valuable feature for us has been the ability to provide reports to the customer that's tailored to their needs. They can see the exact data that they want by simply giving us their requirements and we'll create the reports from there.

It gives us the capability to track what we have and what the customer's able to see. It lends itself to software configuration management so that we aren't out there creating the same report for two different people. We can use essentially the template of an existing report, and for a completely different application, provide the same capability with a minimum amount of work. 

It's expensive, but I think the quality of the product itself is important to our company. 

Finally, it provides a standardized look and feel to reports, which I like.

The most valuable feature is that if a user wants a report with whatever information and in whichever format, we can provide it for them. Also, its ability to provide simple calculations is particularly useful.

I really don't like much about Oracle Reports. It's only value, I think, is that it integrates well with our existing Oracle products. The Grid function, which actually draws out the reports, is not good. One little mistake will cause everything to fall apart, and then you have to rebuild from the beginning.

I primarily use this solution for generating reports and presenting them to high-level management.

Oracle Reports allows us to analyze things that are going on in the organization, according to customer requirements, and generate reports. It gives us good visibility.
