I used both products rather briefly. In my experience, OBIEE is better product than MSBI. While both products have limitations in ETL, reporting performance is better in OBIEE. Further, Oracle has proven credentials in handling large volumes of data, whereas MS SQL Server Suite struggles in processing large volume (and complex) of data. Oracle offers many features at database level and reporting level to enhance performance as well as usability experience. MSBI lags providing similar degree of capability to both the developer or the user.
I would concur with Reviewer78465 above, and suggest you strongly consider Information Builders - a vastly superior platform and much easier to work with as a company.

I think OBIEE isvery powerful when it comes to huge data volumes. You can set up a so called aggregate content, which means that if you have a for example a materialized view, you can configure OBIEE to use your fact table for low level data, and your MV for aggregated data. Your aggregate content can even be in a separate database.
Also a huge advantage is that you are not restricted to the MS world. If for example you use a different LDAP server than MS AD, you can very easily connect it to OBIEE. And this is not a pathological example, that can be a real world and license sensitive question.
You can also run OBIEE over Linux (Red Hat or Oracle Linux).
You can scale OBIEE both vertically and horizontally for availability and performance improvements.
These are my first thoughts, there are probably other advantages as well.

Hi community,
I work at a Wholesaler/Distributor company with 5000+ employees.
I have a question: if I have Microsoft Power BI Premium and AWS SageMaker, can I use the Power BI tools to consume and present the SageMaker results?
Thanks!
Hi peers,
I'm a BI Consultant and today I work with Microsoft Power BI. However, I'm trying to understand better the market and the competitors.
Currently, I have a customer who is in the process of deciding between TIBCO-Spotfire and MS Power BI. I want to understand the main differences between those tools. Which one would be your choice and why?
Also, how is MS Power BI compared to Table...

Hi @Esteban Fabiani - Thank you for posting this great question. All the tools have base-level functionalities which could serve your day-to-day data analysis and visualizations.
There are various aspects that you would need to consider before choosing these tools such as
1. what are the primary use cases? Who will be using them? (Power BI is more user friendly)
2. Do they require a lot of customisations on the UI/UX ( Spotfire can be more flexible with IronPython scripts for custom UI development, Tableau has the best quality UI and charts)
3. Which cloud platform or server you would be using and what kind of computation power is required (if you are a Microsoft shop then Power BI should be preferred as it can be integrated with many MS applications at ease)
4. Cost - probably one of the key concerns (Power BI will be cheaper (desktop version is free) than Spotfire and Tableau)
5. Availability of talent within an organization as well as in the market (more talent available for Power BI and Tableau)
6. Many Oil & Gas, Manufacturing companies prefer Spotfire, but a slow move towards Power BI or Tableau or other visualization tools based on use cases. Many companies use Microstrategy for enterprise reporting
7. You may download free buyer guide reports from Peerspot, which would help you to choose the right one.
All the best.

I haven't used either, but I can Imagine that if you already have an Oracle 12g database established maybe OBIEE will be best bet for integration.
By the way, if you need to BI something from (say) SAP (SAP-PS or SAP-PM) then you won't gain much of an advantage from using OBIEE compared to MS BI.
Of course if there is no other restrictions (say financials)…
