We performed a comparison between MicroStrategy and Oracle OBIEE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There are people who are using MicroStrategy as transaction services."
"Technical support is knowledgeable. The right person gets back to us whenever we email them."
"I have never had any problems with the stability."
"It keeps BI in the hands of everyone, rather than a developer or an analyst."
"I really like the visualizations. I like how you can put large data sets in there, then the user can quickly go through the data and drill down at various levels to understand things."
"Stability is great, especially with package deployments. It is very consistent and stable."
"It has the potential to become a great evangelist for AI and other embedded analytics."
"It is easy to use and visually very appealing. One thing that sets it apart is that it has got a great ETL tool. As compared to some of the other solutions, it is much easier to process data from other applications in MicroStrategy. That's why we prefer using it."
"Ability to create our own reports."
"The main features of this solution are that it is easy to use, intuitive, and user-friendly. When I retrieve the data from the database it is in a very raw form, then when I use the Oracle Report Builder it has advanced intelligence features to allow me to view and make changes to the data easily."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the openness of the solution. It helps us integrate some of our clients."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"It mostly supports enterprise level data. We have millions of records on a daily basis."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is it's designed for Oracle. It works well in the Oracle environment and can sit on top of any application."
"It doesn't have many frills and is definitely older technology, but it is undeniably a workhorse."
"I would like to see a feature where migrations are easier. When you migrate from certain environments, it could probably be a little cleaner. Sometimes it seems to be somewhat clunky when you migrate from one environment, say a development to a test or production environment."
"I prefer the capabilities of a single platform, but it does not always work. We are a huge company. Some areas do not use MicroStrategy, so you have to blend whatever systems they are using together to get the data points that you are looking for."
"Currently, the client view looks completely different depending on what you are building."
"From a stability standpoint, from MicroStrategy, I would say it's fairly consistent. I would give it a "B" because there are times where we have issues that are just inexplicable. They go away and then we have no resolution. To me, that's not acceptable. There are just times where our users can't access things and we're not sure why, and that's a problem to me."
"I did not see any additional value of providing one button for installation on the whole platform if it was going to be installed for different servers. You would have to make customization every time. There was no additional value in an installer."
"The interface you can design in MicroStrategy is great, but I feel it needs to be refreshed, add a bit more functionality. I would like to see more capabilities on the mobile side, to bring it on par with apps that you see in the App Store."
"Sometimes you can do something in reports, but you cannot do the same thing in documents."
"There are a lot of offerings, and we are not fully using everything to its advantage."
"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."
"Retail, Finance, Wholesale"
"For a beginner, this is a product that is difficult to learn. You cannot learn it quickly."
"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."
"It takes a lot of maintenance to support the architecture, which is something that should be improved."
"Oracle OBIEE can improve the ease of use. It is a lot to learn and it could be made easier."
"The platform's data visualization features need improvement."
"Managing the OB applications requires a high level of experience, and makes the solution quite heavy."
