"We do you use Oracle support. We've been paying for an Oracle support subscription for four or five years, and not one ticket has ever been logged. When I came in, I've encouraged the team to ask Oracle questions. They do get back quite quickly. Their support is good. Working with our account managers, if I need to escalate anything, I can speak to them and they escalate the call. I've got that ecosystem working quite well. That does work for us."
"I think having the conformed structures makes it a lot easier for end users and pulling reports together."
"Ability to create our own reports."
"The most valuable feature is the visualization."

"It was a little bit tedious to install a new release."
"The functionality to customize and modify reports has been removed, and it would be beneficial to reinstall it, as it allows greater customization and flexibility in creating reports."
"Oracle OBIEE only displays KPIs, but it does not include strategic objectives or display risk in a strategic map."
"In our organization, we feel that data visualization for APIs is an area in which the solution lacks."
"We needed some technical expertise during setup."
"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."
"It takes a lot of maintenance to support the architecture, which is something that should be improved."
