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."They were reasonable in terms of price."
"A great feature of the solution is its stability."
"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."
"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."
"It doesn't have many frills and is definitely older technology, but it is undeniably a workhorse."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to run it in Exalytics within memory coupled to a Repository on Exadata is where it flies. So it's not meant for mom and pop shops, but if you are a global 500 fortune 1000 company, this is a tool that can get you what you need on time and even in real time."
"Oracle OBIEE is very easy to use. Looking at analytics, I think they have come a long way by adding new features like visualization, which is really cool."
"It's easy to use for business analysts."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"It's a stable, reliable product."
"The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"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."
"Implementation is cumbersome and requires expertise."
"From an improvement perspective, the technical team should be able to provide more accurate answers by taking into consideration the context of the issues faced by users."
"The main problem we face is migrating all of the reports into the solution."
"Supply chain and finance."
"We needed some technical expertise during setup."
"The solution needs to be easier to scale."
"It would be better if it had a wide range of visualization options. For example, Microsoft Power BI has an extensive range of visualization options, but it's not available in OBIEE. There are also some conflicts because it's complicated, but the cloud application is easier. They added some features for ETL with the on-premises application, but we need a different or a separate application for ETL in the cloud. In the next release, I would like to have more AI features."
"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."
"The solution should improve its graphics."
"A bit more flexibility in the temperatization will be helpful."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"SAS Visual Analytics could improve by making it more accessible for users outside the organization."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
