Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can see almost-real-time performance in our operations. When there is a problem, it is easy to escalate it to top management and the time for management to make a decision about it is much shorter than it would be using a manual process."
"The centralized metadata model component is most valuable."
"Oracle OBIEE is good for data visualization and analytical reporting."
"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."
"They were reasonable in terms of price."
"The dashboard and analysis are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The setup isn't too difficult."
"The technical support services are good."
"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."
"We were able to install it without any assistance from tech support."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Pentaho is the Tableau report."
"Easy to use components to create the job."
"The solution needs to be easier to scale."
"We were not satisfied with the support, because we could not obtain answers or solutions."
"Supply chain and finance."
"It takes a lot of maintenance to support the architecture, which is something that should be improved."
"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."
"Expanding beyond pure data reporting and into analytics, or expanding data science, would be areas for improvement."
"Oracle OBIEEE's performance and licensing costs could be improved."
"There should be more integration in the solution. For example, there should be one solution with multiple functionalities so that other solutions are not needed. Having one solution with all the needed functionality would be helpful."
"Version control would be a good addition."
"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."
"The repository should be improved."
"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."
"Pentaho Business Analytics' user interface is outdated."
"Logging capability is needed."
