Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to use...I rate the scalability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"I have not personally used any such products related to this service, however based on the popular opinion, Microsoft Power BI is more popular. We have never switched from this software due to infrastructure and license related costs. However, my team acknowledges that the Power BI is much more enhanced and includes features that are easier to use, including its drag and drop features. I am not sure, if OBIEE has these features, due to lack of updated versions."
"We have scheduled reports delivered automatically to our business users using enterprise features."
"We do you use Oracle support. We've been paying for an Oracle support subscription for four or five years, and not one ticket has ever been logged. When I came in, I've encouraged the team to ask Oracle questions. They do get back quite quickly. Their support is good. Working with our account managers, if I need to escalate anything, I can speak to them and they escalate the call. I've got that ecosystem working quite well. That does work for us."
"They were reasonable in terms of price."
"There are some great new features in the latest version."
"The visualization is very good."
"The “Business Model & Mapping” layer in the Administration Tool, because the maintenance and evolution processes are greatly facilitated."
"We were able to install it without any assistance from tech support."
"Easy to use components to create the job."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Pentaho is the Tableau report."
"I use the BI Server, CDE Dashboards, Saiku, and Kettle, because these tools are very good and highly experienced."
"Oracle OBIEE can improve the ease of use. It is a lot to learn and it could be made easier."
"Its overall organization as an analytical tool, the layout of OBIEE, is not very good."
"It should have more self-service capabilities."
"While it is a user-friendly, data-driven tool, the data modeling should be easier to use."
"The platform's interface needs improvement."
"Oracle OBIEE could improve by having better integration and compatibility with other vendors."
"They should make the dashboard more intuitive."
"Warehouse and business intelligence are two different things, but OBIEE also has some warehouse features in it. I would like to see some of those capabilities improved."
"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."
"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."
"Logging capability is needed."
"The repository should be improved."
"Pentaho Business Analytics' user interface is outdated."
"Another concern is that Pentaho is not customizable or interactive."
