Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is easy to use...I rate the scalability of the solution a nine out of ten.""The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is its ease of use.""The most valuable feature is the openness of the solution. It helps us integrate some of our clients.""The centralized metadata model component is most valuable.""We have scheduled reports delivered automatically to our business users using enterprise features.""It mostly supports enterprise level data.

More Oracle OBIEE Pros →

"It is a comprehensive solution. It has everything in it. I can easily find what I need.""The tool is a cloud-based solution capable of integrating any kind of data in the world.""Transparency is the most valuable feature of this solution.""Einstein Analytics provides insights into what we are doing and how we are doing it. It tells us what benchmarks we need to hit consistently to achieve our goals. In sales, there is sometimes a disconnect between actions and objectives. We aren't necessarily going to close a deal because we call X number of people. There are some underlying skills that add nuance to these metrics.""Tableau CRM is a very capable solution. It is easy to use, user-friendly, and integrates well.""he most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use.""It's scalable.""We have found the scalability to be very good."

Cons
"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.""The drawback with the tool is that though it is well-created, its users are under-trained to use it.""It is complex for designing RPD, and it can be simpler. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time.""For a beginner, this is a product that is difficult to learn. You cannot learn it quickly.""OBIEE doesn't have audit logs.""An area for improvement is that Oracle pushes more users to Oracle BI Publisher rather than emphasizing Oracle OBIEE for reporting. The pricing for Oracle OBIEE could be improved.""Oracle products have a lot of complications...Oracle has a history of not really providing great support.""When a large number of queries are running at the same time, the report fails."

More Oracle OBIEE Cons →

"The price of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is quite a bit expensive for the region of Mexico. I think the price of the product could be better.""When it comes to generating reports, it appears that many users rely on experts to handle technical aspects. For instance, if you require a weekly report displaying accounts transitioning in and out of your modules, it seems challenging to accomplish without consulting experts for assistance. Such tasks should be user-friendly and easily achievable without external assistance.""The product is natively integrated into the Salesforce ecosystem. You also need a CRM license. It should be more flexible with other platforms.""They can provide more end-user customizations. There should be the possibility for the end-users to change some elements in the interface. I have a way of doing my job. My colleague may have his own way of doing his job. If I ask for a change, it'll change for everyone. It'll be good to have some end-user personalizations. I can't see many in Salesforce right now.""The tool needs to simplify its features.""The product must be more transparent.""If a user leaves your organization, you shouldn't lose the visibility of all of the records.""Einstein Analytics could incorporate something like SFIA 8 to help users understand the underlying skill sets."

  • "Salesforce has a subscription-based licensing structure, where it's between $20 to $75 per month, per user."

    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."
