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."It is a stable and scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to set up the automated delivery of reports."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's initial setup was straightforward."
"I have found the most valuable features are business intelligence and reporting."
"In terms of features, everything is good. It is also stable and scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is the security of the solution."
"The scalability of the product is good."
"It can be used with any type of data models, such as relational lines and dimensional lines."
"There is a seamless integration with SAP S4HANA which is really valuable to our organization and its functions. Since the data is stored in the same ecosystem, it creates a simple process of building dashboards, without making the process cumbersome The Analytics Cloud provides standardized templates and storage options, making it easy to plug into existing structures. We're utilizing custom stories that have already been developed, streamlining the development process. It serves as a convenient starting point and contributes to the overall ease of development. Another advantage is that it doesn't provide the same level of calculation power as Power BI and Tableau. SAP Analytics Cloud emphasizes pushing analytics back into the database, recommending data manipulation and preparation outside of the platform. This approach is seen as an advantage, as it allows for more robust data handling."
"It's so user-friendly."
"It is easy to integrate with SAP ERP and BW systems, allowing smooth data transfer and live connections without much development."
"I like the connectivity the solution provides with other products."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The product is flexible and has features like AI, link analysis, and insights. It has many features. I can search, and it creates automatic charts without selecting anything. For example, I can ask, "What is the gross margin?" the tool builds a chart based on my question."
"The visualization feature is the most valuable. SAP Analytics Cloud is also very easy to use."
"Considering the reporting part, I rate the tool a nine out of ten."
"The functionality to customize and modify reports has been removed, and it would be beneficial to reinstall it, as it allows greater customization and flexibility in creating reports."
"They should make the dashboard more intuitive."
"The platform's interface needs improvement."
"Even though we have a feature to enable the physical query to be seen in the log, in case of any issues, it is challenging to debug and see or identify where is the issue. For example, we designed the OBIEE repository and deployed it into the server, and we are now accessing and creating a report. For some reason, if the report is not working as expected, it is very difficult to identify the issue. We have a feature to see the physical query that is being generated in the central OBIEE server. I feel that this feature should have been available at the repository level so that while designing the repository, we can select the presentation columns and the query it is going to create. This will avoid the additional task of deploying a feature into the server and then testing the report. It will also make the implementation process friendly if, while designing the repository, we can see: How is a feature working? Are any of the presentation columns selected? How is the query being generated? Which query is being generated? Are any joints used? What kind of joints are used? Having this kind of information will make Oracle OBIEE more powerful and developer-friendly."
"Supply chain and finance."
"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."
"It takes a lot of maintenance to support the architecture, which is something that should be improved."
"Oracle OBIEE is a product that is not easy to implement. The product is also not easy to use."
"SAP could add more templates to the platform."
"The budget management could be better."
"Its integration or connectivity with non-SAP systems, big data, and social media, such as YouTube, LinkedIn, et cetera, can be improved. This is where SAP has limited features as compared to other solutions."
"I would like to see reporting to the Analytics cloud directly."
"Could be more user-friendly; somewhat complicated to use."
"Sometimes we have difficulty connecting to a SharePoint list."
"SAC, which is the cloud version, lost some good features from the previous planning product, like BPC or BPS."
"They need more support for more languages, Python for example."
