Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the lexical parameters and distribution."
"Can utilize SQL queries to generate reports directly."
"They are introducing AI. There are good forecasting features and machine learning."
"We have scheduled reports delivered automatically to our business users using enterprise features."
"Provides good data visualization features, and provides a lot of visualization reports from various data sources."
"The technical support services are good."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of Oracle OBIEE are the ease of logging in, the dashboard, and showing the problems in the data. Additionally, the reports are well integrated and it has good technology."
"The most valuable feature of Pentaho is the Tableau report."
"Easy to use components to create the job."
"I use the BI Server, CDE Dashboards, Saiku, and Kettle, because these tools are very good and highly experienced."
"Pentaho Business Analytics' best features include the ease of developing data flows and the wide range of options to connect to databases, including those on the cloud."
"Pentaho is an analytics platform that can be used when an organization has a lot of big data storage systems already installed and needs to manage and analyze that data. It has a specific use case for unstructured data, such as documents, and needs to be able to search and analyze it."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"We were able to install it without any assistance from tech support."
"Particularly on the Cloud, a lot of functionality has yet to be ported."
"It crashes when many people login simultaneously."
"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."
"We were not satisfied with the support, because we could not obtain answers or solutions."
"They should develop greater visualization because their visualization isn't industry leading at the moment. The way you pull the data and see the data compared to other platforms, they're lagging a little bit behind. Also, their cost. I've got Oracle account managers trying to persuade me every day to purchase these licenses. Once you purchase OBIEE, then you have to purchase the virtualization and then you have to purchase the mobile license to operate on the mobile. It's really expensive."
"I would like to see the data wrangling features enhanced."
"Oracle OBIEE can improve the ease of use. It is a lot to learn and it could be made easier."
"We needed some technical expertise during setup."
"Deployment is not simple. It is not simple because we are dealing with a lot of data; we are dealing with a lot of storage. So, it's not a simple process."
"We did not achieve the ROI. The work delivered to users had lesser value than the subscription cost."
"Version control would be a good addition."
"The repository should be improved."
"Logging capability is needed."
"Pentaho Business Analytics' user interface is outdated."
"Another concern is that Pentaho is not customizable or interactive."
"Pentaho, at the general level, should greatly improve the easy construction of its dashboards and easy integration of information from different sources without technical user intervention."
