"Easy to create ad hoc reporting for different solutions."
"I like that Oracle OBIEE comes with more options. For example, more options with data security, user security, and other security. It's more complicated than Microsoft, but it gives you more options. They also added the part for machine learning, which is good."
"I have found the most valuable features are business intelligence and reporting."
"Ability to create our own reports."
"The most valuable feature is the openness of the solution. It helps us integrate some of our clients."
"They were reasonable in terms of price."
"I think having the conformed structures makes it a lot easier for end users and pulling reports together."
"The scalability is good."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"It's easy to drill down or expand data to get more details right out of the box."
"I would say the return on investment is good. Whatever we invested, we got results. We have been finding it easy to use and onboard new use cases."
"ThoughtSpot takes the modifying of existing reports out of our hands."
"I like ThoughtSpot's search capabilities. You can also create custom analytics even if you aren't an experienced data analyst. We have users with no data analytics experience making some of the dashboards we've created, copying components, and customizing them to their specific use cases."
"The ability to do ad hoc explorations of data has been most valuable."
"Managing the OB applications requires a high level of experience, and makes the solution quite heavy."
"Oracle OBIEE is a product that is not easy to implement. The product is also not easy to use."
"We were not satisfied with the support, because we could not obtain answers or solutions."
"An area for improvement is that Oracle pushes more users to Oracle BI Publisher rather than emphasizing Oracle OBIEE for reporting. The pricing for Oracle OBIEE could be improved."
"While it is a user-friendly, data-driven tool, the data modeling should be easier to use."
"Particularly on the Cloud, a lot of functionality has yet to be ported."
"OBIEE doesn't have audit logs."
"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."
"If I want to order columns, this feature is not there."
"In terms of features, I'd like to be able to pivot data - for example, going from rows to columns. It's not easy to do."
"The most difficult thing I found is that it only deals with the files and does not have direct connectivity to databases."
"The one area of the solution that I do hear needs improvement is on the visualization front."
"I would like to see more flexibility in adding the pins. Currently, we have four different sizes in which I can add pins, but I would like to be able to resize my pins."
"The dashboards could give you more ability to fine tune the appearance. You get a great deal more control over how something looks in Power BI than you do in ThoughtSpot."
"A customized visualization is lacking in this product."
"ThoughtSpot is a fairly new product, so some usability aspects aren't as mature as we'd like them to be. One example is their organizational methodology, like how objects are organized in their dashboards inside the product. They're all on a flat list, which works if you've got five or 10 dashboards. However, it's insufficient when you're a large enterprise with multiple groups looking at the same dashboards. It isn't organized well."
