We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"A great feature of the solution is its stability.""Dashboards provide us with various views and perspectives on our data, allowing us to analyze metrics such as revenue, occupancy rates, etc.""The solution is user-friendly.""The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is its ability to handle large volumes of data and provide traditional BI functionalities that developers can easily understand.""Oracle OBIEE is good for data visualization and analytical reporting.""We can see almost-real-time performance in our operations. When there is a problem, it is easy to escalate it to top management and the time for management to make a decision about it is much shorter than it would be using a manual process.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's initial setup was straightforward.""The most valuable features of Oracle OBIEE are the ease of logging in, the dashboard, and showing the problems in the data. Additionally, the reports are well integrated and it has good technology."

"We can ingest and correlate data from virtually any type of system.""One key advantage of Splunk over competitors like IBM QRadar is its superior device integration capabilities.""Correlating data across different systems via one interface will allow you to know your environment or identify incident data in ways you never imagined.""The correlation searches (properly configured) populate the Incident Management dashboard and provide me a quick birds-eye view of my most important concerns.""Good for log collection and log management.""Splunk has give us the capability to easily track problems and their status.""Splunk's visualizations make it easy for users to understand the data.""It has helped us look at modern technology, as well as penetrate our legacy systems, to see where the bottlenecks are."

Cons
"From the point of view of strategic management, I would like to have a feature, perhaps a form after we get to the KPI dashboard, to be used to note if something unusual happens in the operations. That way we could record extreme KPI situations, and track why a number is very low or too high.""I would like to see the data wrangling features enhanced.""It could be more user-friendly. For example, the RPD layer could be more straightforward. From a user's point of view, the visualization, especially the graphs, are not as attractive when compared to other tools like QlikView and Qlik Sense.""Its functionality is lacking.""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.""I would like to see enhancements in tracking, debugging, and flexibility.""The solution needs to be easier to scale.""Oracle OBIEE is a product that is not easy to implement. The product is also not easy to use."

More Oracle OBIEE Cons →

"I feel as though a major focus of upcoming releases should be set on Machine Learning, Predictive Analytics, and I would enjoy to see more security focused add-ons and apps developed by the vendor.""Custom visualizations are real hard. While the default visualizations are good, creating enhanced visualizations are complex.""The setup time is quite long.""The ingestion happens quickly, so you can run up the data costs if you use the default settings. It isn't a problem for government agencies in the Saudi market, but many of the corporations in India are small or medium-sized enterprises that cannot afford that kind of ingestion system.""The only thing which can be improved is that they are too subjective on whom their Splunk4Good initiative can be applied. They market it as you only need to be a nonprofit, but there is more to it.""Splunk could have more built-in use case presets that customers can build on and customize.""I'd say I am happy with the technical support, not elated. They provide great support, but sometimes they don't have the answers that I need.""It needs more thoroughly tested releases. Every new big version (6, 7, etc.) has had so many bugs that it makes me wary of customers upgrading right away."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Sandeep V., Process System Engineer at a comms service provider, tells us, “This solution is very easy for people who are building ad-hoc things. It's an enterprise solution so it can be deployed for a lot of users. There are some great new features that come with the 12c like data visualization, desktop BI Publisher, automation, and interactive dashboards. The product has good features. “ 

    A user who is a CEO at a consultancy relates, “The most valuable feature is the visualization. The data warehousing, data storage, and data wrangling are all features that are in there, and it's one of the better products out there. A good thing is that for large datasets, it's very stable, especially when you have an Oracle database.”

    A user who is a Principal Business Intelligence Architect at a computer software company suggests, "It is very biased towards Oracle infrastructure. One of the major red flags we have at the moment against Oracle is that it doesn't support deployment on other cloud providers. We're quite heavily vested in AWS as our infrastructure, and Oracle is yet to formally support deploying on those virtual infrastructure instances. That's quite disappointing, and it also cuts them out of over 70% of the market."
