"My favourite feature of BOARD is the ability to write back to the OLAP DB, as well as the Rdb, and secure user data allowing databases to be flushed and rebuilt daily."
"Instead of taking two people a week each month to perform our internal KPI reporting, the same two people can have it done in a day."
"We can build reports super fast."
"The support from the BOARD team and their consultants is great. Whenever I use technical support, they are good."
"We have better reporting and have been able to better track performance."
"The flexibility and the user-experience are the most valuable features of the solution."
"I liked the way that I felt as a user and administrator of it. There were a lot of clicks, drops, drags, etc. versus writing code."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to run it in Exalytics within memory coupled to a Repository on Exadata is where it flies. So it's not meant for mom and pop shops, but if you are a global 500 fortune 1000 company, this is a tool that can get you what you need on time and even in real time."
"The most valuable features are the lexical parameters and distribution."
"I like the cloud deployment feature. There are about 20 new features, and they are available on mobile and more. I haven't used any of them, but these features are highly attractive."
"It doesn't have many frills and is definitely older technology, but it is undeniably a workhorse."
"Oracle OBIEE is a scary and stable product since it is a strong and well-created tool... In short, the solution is stable since it works properly every day."
"Ability to create our own reports."
"They were reasonable in terms of price."
"The technical support services are good."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. "
"We can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model."
"I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD."
"It can have more functionality for narrative reporting. They should also improve their training courses, which are currently very lightweight. When you get into more complex things, it is quite difficult to figure out what you're supposed to do, and you have to look at a lot of videos before you actually understand, which is a bit frustrating. Their training can be more comprehensive."
"If we could upload other data, e.g., pivot tables which can be done in BOARD already, that we have pre-existing and have that data distribute to more complex spreadsheets, I would like that going forward."
"We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD."
"It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. It should be a little more intuitive."
"Supply chain and finance."
"One feature I would definitely like to see is the ability to provide the in-memory data. Oracle might have some plugins but, as of now, that feature isn't available out-of-the-box. You might have to purchase that feature."
"In our organization, we feel that data visualization for APIs is an area in which the solution lacks."
"Setup and migration are very complex. Technically, Oracle accessory is extremely complex. These days, the industry demands a kind of Excel analysis, which is very easy to install, set up, and it's very developer-friendly as well as end-user friendly. OBIEE lacks all those features."
"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."
"It was a little bit tedious to install a new release."
"If the data is large, the dashboard takes a really long time. So, based on the database, if you have around a million cost contacts, the load time is very low, and the dashboard fails."
"There should be more integration in the solution. For example, there should be one solution with multiple functionalities so that other solutions are not needed. Having one solution with all the needed functionality would be helpful."
