"The solution is user-friendly."
"It's easy to create fully-functional Dashboards."

"I like the scheduling feature. It has an inbuilt scheduler which is very good, and it allows us to create agents, and those agents can be scheduled. It's quite flexible in that respect and goes into our IT infrastructure. The outputs are sent encrypted to various endpoints. Some are internal, and some are our clients, and it's encrypted at a high level. I do find Oracle OBIEE flexible. If there is stuff that's not in your model or schema, it's very flexible to create SQL scripts and create the data you want. It's quite nice to create a dashboard in OBIEE, and that's pretty straightforward in the way you drag and drop everything. You can create sections, and you can add elements to your page. That bit of the interface is relatively straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to set up the automated delivery of reports."
"The visualization is very good."

"The report development tool called SAP Web Intelligence under the BI Launch Pad portal has been the most valuable feature."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that we are able to build all dashboards with self-service BI and are able to provide our business users with self-service BI. We are building a repository on top of our data warehouse and building all the dashboards and KPIs."
"It is stable and robust. It has pretty direct integration with SAP ERP. It is easy to use."
"The platform is a complete enterprise-level tool where everything is integrated to suffice your requirement."
"Ease of report development is a key feature."
"We find that we can scale it as needed."

"There are a lot of aspects of Oracle OBIEE that are exceptionally complicated, make things unnecessarily difficult for everyone who uses it. In terms of the integrations, Oracle needs to improve a little more, but I believe that they have tried to capture all those issues. The issues we are facing in the Oracle OBIEE 12C versions, in the Oracle Analytical Server Center or Analytical Cloud versions, Oracle has managed to overcome the challenges."
"When a large number of queries are running at the same time, the report fails."
"It is not a good product for data visualization."
"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."
"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."
"OBIEE doesn't have audit logs."
"One of the things that have been difficult with OBIEE during all the time that I've known it is that when something goes wrong, many times, the error messages are not specific, and you've got to spend a lot of time digging and digging and digging before you say, "Oh, okay. I figured out what it was." There should be more detailed error messages or troubleshooting messages."
"Expanding beyond pure data reporting and into analytics, or expanding data science, would be areas for improvement."
"There is still a lot to be done on the mobile side to make Web Intelligence truly seamless between the desktop and mobile versions and I would like to see SAP pay a lot more attention to this."
"The platform should be a bit more user-friendly."
"SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is an outdated solution that is missing many features."
"Technical support may not always be timely or effective."
"Most of the Apps right now are into dashboarding. This tool, for the Crystal Reports in the phase I'm primarily working on, does not have those dashboarding capabilities, like in the other advanced tools like Power BI or ClickView, and compared to them the dashboard generation is not that great."
"There is room for improvement in providing more user-friendly and versatile reporting options."
"The calculation engine requires some improvement."
"It could be a lighter solution."
