Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the visualization.""I like the architecture of this solution. RPV is a powerful feature in Oracle OBIEE. It lets us design as per the needs of the organization. I can have multiple presentation folders and presentation layers. I can have customization in a single node in VMware, which is a very good feature of Oracle OBIEE. It helps customers in designing as per their requirements.""The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is interactive reporting because it allows better analysis versus conventional reporting, especially on the data warehouse side.""It can be used with any type of data models, such as relational lines and dimensional lines.""They are introducing AI. There are good forecasting features and machine learning.""The technical support services are good.""Dashboards provide us with various views and perspectives on our data, allowing us to analyze metrics such as revenue, occupancy rates, etc.""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 language support is very good.""You can switch views easily.""The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools.""The solution is fast.""The search feature: ability to see the related data.""Our Qlikview applications help us to get a good idea of our Client Base Performance and assist us in the decision making for Seasonal Specials. On the other hand QlikView helps us to get a grasp on our Suppliers and helps us to negotiate pricing with them.""The scalability is there.""This is a very cool application with endless options of creativity and visuals."

Cons
"OBIEE doesn't have audit logs.""Setup and migration are very complex. Technically, Oracle accessory is extremely complex. These days, the industry demands a kind of Excel analysis, which is very easy to install, set up, and it's very developer-friendly as well as end-user friendly. OBIEE lacks all those features.""It is very biased towards Oracle infrastructure. One of the major red flags we have at the moment against Oracle is that it doesn't support deployment on other cloud providers. We're quite heavily vested in AWS as our infrastructure, and Oracle is yet to formally support deploying on those virtual infrastructure instances. That's quite disappointing, and it also cuts them out of over 70% of the market.""Oracle OBIEE can improve the ease of use. It is a lot to learn and it could be made easier.""n the beginning it had it's stability issues, but it became stable.""Oracle products have a lot of complications...Oracle has a history of not really providing great support.""It crashes when many people login simultaneously.""Its overall organization as an analytical tool, the layout of OBIEE, is not very good."

More Oracle OBIEE Cons →

"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device.""I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields.""There is no automation or drag and drop functionality.""Improvements are required in the hide and unhide functionality that falls under the layout container feature that has been used in my company in recent times.""QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly.""They could improve the speed.""Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect.""Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Sandeep V., Process System Engineer at a comms service provider, tells us, “This solution is very easy for people who are building ad-hoc things. It's an enterprise solution so it can be deployed for a lot of users. There are some great new features that come with the 12c like data visualization, desktop BI Publisher, automation, and interactive dashboards. The product has good features. “ 

    A user who is a CEO at a consultancy relates, “The most valuable feature is the visualization. The data warehousing, data storage, and data wrangling are all features that are in there, and it's one of the better products out there. A good thing is that for large datasets, it's very stable, especially when you have an Oracle database.”

    A user who is a Principal Business Intelligence Architect at a computer software company suggests, "It is very biased towards Oracle infrastructure. One of the major red flags we have at the moment against Oracle is that it doesn't support deployment on other cloud providers. We're quite heavily vested in AWS as our infrastructure, and Oracle is yet to formally support deploying on those virtual infrastructure instances. That's quite disappointing, and it also cuts them out of over 70% of the market."
