Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Provides good data visualization features, and provides a lot of visualization reports from various data sources."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's initial setup was straightforward."
"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."
"There are a lot of functions in the product, including a drill-down functionality and level-based hierarchies that are very attractive."
"Can utilize SQL queries to generate reports directly."
"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."
"A great feature of the solution is its stability."
"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."
"I use the BI Server, CDE Dashboards, Saiku, and Kettle, because these tools are very good and highly experienced."
"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."

"The performance could improve and in a future release, they could provide more virtualization options."
"Oracle OBIEE could improve by having better integration and compatibility with other vendors."
"I find I prefer Oracle OAC over OBIEE. It's more advanced, has artificial intelligence, and there's more that we can do with it in general. OBIEE is lacking features."
"There are times we have slowness when processing the reports with Oracle OBIEE. Improving the performance would be beneficial."
"I would like to see Machine Learning included in this solution."
"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."
"We needed some technical expertise during setup."
"Pentaho Business Analytics' user interface is outdated."
"Version control would be a good addition."
"Logging capability is needed."
"The repository should be improved."

"Another concern is that Pentaho is not customizable or interactive."
"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."
