It also offers several user interfaces. And in the newest version of Planning Analytics, there is a new one called the Planning Analytics Workspace. Maybe it could be useful for the business side."
"The tool is flexible."
"The ease of use is valuable. The fact that it's plugged into Excel spreadsheets is also valuable. It provides additional functionality where you can slice and dice the information in a way that you can't do with spreadsheets"
"The most valuable features of IBM Planning Analytics for streamlining planning processes include a unified database where all data are centralized."
"All the different platforms are well integrated."
"IBM Planning Analytics is easy to use and deploy. It is quick to develop. The calculation machine is also very fast."
"Planning Analytics' best features include automatic updates and slicing."
"It's a very stable, robust product."
"It doesn't have many frills and is definitely older technology, but it is undeniably a workhorse."
"It is easy to create a report quickly. It does not take much time to create an ad hoc report."
"We have scheduled reports delivered automatically to our business users using enterprise features."
"The most valuable feature is the user-friendly set of tools that the customer can use to develop their own business dashboards."
"They are introducing AI. There are good forecasting features and machine learning."
"The most valuable features are the lexical parameters and distribution."
"It's easy to create fully-functional Dashboards."

"It is a bit expensive, but it does the job."
"Adding predefined templates could be beneficial."
"It would have been better if the solution was not just a tool kit."
"Extracting data is a little slow."
"Its overall organization as an analytical tool, the layout of OBIEE, is not very good."
"They should develop greater visualization because their visualization isn't industry leading at the moment. The way you pull the data and see the data compared to other platforms, they're lagging a little bit behind. Also, their cost. I've got Oracle account managers trying to persuade me every day to purchase these licenses. Once you purchase OBIEE, then you have to purchase the virtualization and then you have to purchase the mobile license to operate on the mobile. It's really expensive."
"n the beginning it had it's stability issues, but it became stable."
"Supply chain and finance."
"I find I prefer Oracle OAC over OBIEE. It's more advanced, has artificial intelligence, and there's more that we can do with it in general. OBIEE is lacking features."
"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."
"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."
"There are times we have slowness when processing the reports with Oracle OBIEE. Improving the performance would be beneficial."
