Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."My favourite feature of BOARD is the ability to write back to the OLAP DB, as well as the Rdb, and secure user data allowing databases to be flushed and rebuilt daily."
"All the reports are prepared automatically."

"BOARD technical support is knowledgeable and helpful."
"The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it."
"Instead of taking two people a week each month to perform our internal KPI reporting, the same two people can have it done in a day."

"I have not personally used any such products related to this service, however based on the popular opinion, Microsoft Power BI is more popular. We have never switched from this software due to infrastructure and license related costs. However, my team acknowledges that the Power BI is much more enhanced and includes features that are easier to use, including its drag and drop features. I am not sure, if OBIEE has these features, due to lack of updated versions."
