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."I find MicroStrategy the most suited to the enterprise-wide BI platform, because of its scalability and stability."
"We have ramped up user adoption."
"Technical support is knowledgeable. The right person gets back to us whenever we email them."
"Stability is great, especially with package deployments. It is very consistent and stable."
"In terms of functionality, MicroStrategy is alright. It's a solid BI tool and can handle most tasks you'd expect."
"It drives us away from Excel. For what it is for, it is good. You can't run a business on Excel."
"It's an open platform. That's also important. You can create your own data connectors. There's everything you can do with APIs. It's not closed like, perhaps, an SAP system might be."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to actually embed actions, comments, being able to leverage Transaction Services to embed the tool into a business process."
"The dashboard and analysis are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Can utilize SQL queries to generate reports directly."
"I like the architecture of this solution. RPV is a powerful feature in Oracle OBIEE. It lets us design as per the needs of the organization. I can have multiple presentation folders and presentation layers. I can have customization in a single node in VMware, which is a very good feature of Oracle OBIEE. It helps customers in designing as per their requirements."
"The most valuable feature is the user-friendly set of tools that the customer can use to develop their own business dashboards."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is interactive reporting because it allows better analysis versus conventional reporting, especially on the data warehouse side."
"I like the cloud deployment feature. There are about 20 new features, and they are available on mobile and more. I haven't used any of them, but these features are highly attractive."
"The setup isn't too difficult."
"It is easy to create a report quickly. It does not take much time to create an ad hoc report."
"Currently, the client view looks completely different depending on what you are building."
"They need to improve on having more professional, well-equipped premium support."
"The solution's licensing could be improved because its cost is heavy on the pockets."
"There are a lot of offerings, and we are not fully using everything to its advantage."
"The implementation itself was pretty straightforward. The tricky part was understanding MicroStrategy's licensing model, which was a bit convoluted back then."
"It needs row-level security, column-level security, on attributes. I want to be able to handle full-scale security model from the semantic layer, flat out."
"Needs tighter mapping integration."
"We would like access to more storage and access to more metadata to build the right programs that can construct all the stuff for us instead of us having to type it in all the time."
"The performance and the complex setup are the main reason for switching to Qlik Sense."
"The solution needs to be easier to scale."
"It could be more user-friendly. For example, the RPD layer could be more straightforward. From a user's point of view, the visualization, especially the graphs, are not as attractive when compared to other tools like QlikView and Qlik Sense."
"The pricing of the solution should be bettered."
"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."
"Oracle products have a lot of complications...Oracle has a history of not really providing great support."
"OBIEE doesn't have audit logs."
