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."Getting more data to people more quickly. Providing more flexibility for how they use the data."
"We are using mobile analytics, and it is amazing."
"The whole repository side of things is beneficial because you develop it once, and you can use it anywhere, in the Enterprise grade."
"Stability is great, especially with package deployments. It is very consistent and stable."
"Technical support has sent us to rapid response before, when we really needed them."
"Tech support has been great, very responsive. We usually hear back within a day. We usually email them and that works out perfect. The right person always gets back to us."
"We are embedding multimedia content in our apps... You can embed streaming video from websites, or you can host the video files on your internal media servers. The video is clear, absolutely."
"This solution has allowed us to become a top-class competitor among other consulting companies."
"It can be used with any type of data models, such as relational lines and dimensional lines."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is the security of the solution."
"It's easy to create fully-functional Dashboards."
"The solution offers a wide range of software tools to meet various needs, such as those concerning reports, developer solutions like APEX and the integration of data."
"The performance can issue queries to work in the Oracle database in Oracle's native language. There are a lot of visualizations which suit our business."
"The most valuable features of Oracle OBIEE are ease of use, the graphical user interface is simple to understand, and the reports can be done without problems. There are many tutorials and training materials available if needed."
"The visualization is very good."
"It's the connectors, the adapters. Built in connectors with different ERPs, you can plug in XL, other sources of data. It's very easy to configure. It's very easy to use."
"MicroStrategy's mobile dashboard is still not a RESTful design."
"There needs to be better visualization."
"If you compare it with Power BI with the DAX language, it would be great to put that into MicroStrategy."
"It is performing well, but sometimes we have complex requirements and the performance decreases, and then we have to find another way to make it perform again. That is what you encounter when use the project, but that's inevitable because if we would have used another product, we would've had the same thing."
"The areas that have room for improvement in MicroStrategy are mainly related to building additional tools. Specifically, the embedding process has been a bit of a struggle."
"The UI seems klutzy with its manual entry."
"The solution's licensing could be improved because its cost is heavy on the pockets."
"They need to supply the support system that's just not there right now. They don't have Enterprise Manager classes. You need in-depth classes to understand what those metrics are doing, to understand the table associations from one to the other. You can't just go and pick it up and understand that DT_DAY connects to all of these tables, without going into Architect, looking at the source tables. I, as a analyst, a slightly technical user, I don't have the expertise to do that. Business users definitely don't have the expertise to do that."
"There are times we have slowness when processing the reports with Oracle OBIEE. Improving the performance would be beneficial."
"It was a little bit tedious to install a new release."
"Customer service/technical support gets five out of 10. Sometimes good, sometimes bad."
"One significant improvement is the need for simplification. The set up could be more intuitive. An enterprise setup with HA and DR are pretty complex and to get a robust solution one has to play around with Real Application Cluster data sources and FAN notifications as well as WebLogic clustering and external load balancers. SSO also is not that simple to set up especially if you want all your Oracle systems to use the same SSO solution, i.e., no cheating with direct LDAP connectivity."
"It is complex for designing RPD, and it can be simpler. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
"Expanding beyond pure data reporting and into analytics, or expanding data science, would be areas for improvement."
"The complexity of this product means that you need to have a technical team to develop the reports, although this is also true for products like Microsoft BI and Zoho."
"One of the things that have been difficult with OBIEE during all the time that I've known it is that when something goes wrong, many times, the error messages are not specific, and you've got to spend a lot of time digging and digging and digging before you say, "Oh, okay. I figured out what it was." There should be more detailed error messages or troubleshooting messages."
