We performed a comparison between MicroStrategy and Oracle OBIEE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."MicroStrategy's best feature is that it is a user-friendly tool."
"We've made a few enhancements to our Enterprise Manager system to allow self-reporting to grow. We see that as a very useful system. It's been incredibly beneficial in diagnosing production performance issues, diagnosing what reports are running slowly, where the SQL could be optimized, opportunities or metrics where we see long-time running performance. Enterprise Manager has been absolutely vital in giving us some of the insights about our system."
"We prefer having the analytic capabilities in a single platform, like MicroStrategy provides, because it is easier. The customer gets used to one type of tool, then sticks with it."
"The architecture is very solid."
"Our primary use case is to deliver all data insights to our company."
"We pretty much use the knowledge base. We feel that Microstrategy's community is a good forum to use."
"I really like the visualizations. I like how you can put large data sets in there, then the user can quickly go through the data and drill down at various levels to understand things."
"You can build once and deploy to multiple operating systems. Also, it resizes in the way you want it to."
"Inter Process Communication."
"Its robustness is most valuable. It can handle massive amounts of data quickly. If it's properly configured and tuned, it can handle massive amounts of data very quickly to produce results. That to me is the number one feature."
"The centralized metadata model component is most valuable."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the user-friendly set of tools that the customer can use to develop their own business dashboards."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's initial setup was straightforward."
"Oracle OBIEE is good for data visualization and analytical reporting."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is its ability to handle large volumes of data and provide traditional BI functionalities that developers can easily understand."
"It is actually pretty complicated to use. It is complicated enough that user adaptation is sometimes difficult. We developed more experts rather than people using it."
"The product is designed for enterprise. A lightweight version would be easier for a smaller workgroup."
"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."
"Sometimes, it has become too complex to upgrade and adjust to the ecosystem."
"The In-Memory Capability (cubes) needs a lot of improvement."
"The interface you can design in MicroStrategy is great, but I feel it needs to be refreshed, add a bit more functionality. I would like to see more capabilities on the mobile side, to bring it on par with apps that you see in the App Store."
"I prefer the capabilities of a single platform, but it does not always work. We are a huge company. Some areas do not use MicroStrategy, so you have to blend whatever systems they are using together to get the data points that you are looking for."
"It needs better visualizations."
"In terms of tech support, we have our own technicians. But, we did register for their help. When we register a call, it takes time for them to respond to us."
"In the on-premises version, the feature for connecting and selecting the data between the databases looks a bit cumbersome, but I am not sure. The person who is using it takes a lot of time to design a data warehouse. When I ask him why is it taking this long, I get a response that this is something that he has to design, and there are different tools that are available. He has to write the ETL and design the warehouse according to the customer's requirement, which takes a lot of time. Its visualization should be enhanced, and there should be a feature where you can easily create your custom data warehouse."
"The pricing of the solution should be bettered."
"Retail, Finance, Wholesale"
"I would like to see the data wrangling features enhanced."
"Customer service/technical support gets five out of 10. Sometimes good, sometimes bad."
"There are times we have slowness when processing the reports with Oracle OBIEE. Improving the performance would be beneficial."
"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."
