"The most valuable feature is building ad hoc reports."
"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. It's highly scalable and can handle significant data volumes."
"The solution is easy to use and very flexible."
"Some of the dashboard capabilities are good. The dashboard capabilities that tell you what kind of reports are available and provide you a summary of the reports are valuable. It is easy to navigate and easy to download reports into Excel to utilize them."
"We can see almost-real-time performance in our operations. When there is a problem, it is easy to escalate it to top management and the time for management to make a decision about it is much shorter than it would be using a manual process."
"Provides good data visualization features, and provides a lot of visualization reports from various data sources."
"A great feature of the solution is its stability."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is the security of the solution."

"The solution can be improved by adding more automated options for reporting."

"The solution needs to be easier to scale."
"From the point of view of strategic management, I would like to have a feature, perhaps a form after we get to the KPI dashboard, to be used to note if something unusual happens in the operations. That way we could record extreme KPI situations, and track why a number is very low or too high."
"Essbase integration needs to be worked on."
"It's not so flexible to do BI reporting directly from the data source without models. It is not that agile."
"One feature I would definitely like to see is the ability to provide the in-memory data. Oracle might have some plugins but, as of now, that feature isn't available out-of-the-box. You might have to purchase that feature."
"The solution is too expensive for small firms."
"It is complex for designing RPD, and it can be simpler. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
