We performed a comparison between Oracle OBIEE and Tableau based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has helped to consolidate data and report on a single version of the truth."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is interactive reporting because it allows better analysis versus conventional reporting, especially on the data warehouse side."
"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."
"The visualization is very good."
"The solution offers a wide range of software tools to meet various needs, such as those concerning reports, developer solutions like APEX and the integration of data."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"It's easy to use for business analysts."
"Easy to create ad hoc reporting for different solutions."
"It's a very good, flexible product, and it's easy to learn."
"Compared to other products, visualization features are really good."
"The most important feature in Tableau is visual analytics."
"The data visualization piece is most valuable. We do ad-hoc analysis or one-time shot things, but there are things that we have to track every single day. When our management and our customers want to see how things are changing, the dashboarding provides that information. Tableau is key in providing that data on a refresh basis. We use a data blending tool that pumps the data into Tableau, and we just schedule it to run every single day. So, the automation of the data and being able to present it to people who are interested are the most valuable features."
"Visualization attributes: Marks – Color, Size, Label, etc.. Easily Accessible and Intuitive."
"Technical support has been responsive."
"The product offers an intuitive user interface, detailed screens and widgets, and the absence of data limitations"
"It has a shallow learning curve and so you can go to market very, very, very quickly."
"It would be better if it had a wide range of visualization options. For example, Microsoft Power BI has an extensive range of visualization options, but it's not available in OBIEE. There are also some conflicts because it's complicated, but the cloud application is easier. They added some features for ETL with the on-premises application, but we need a different or a separate application for ETL in the cloud. In the next release, I would like to have more AI features."
"The solution is too expensive for small firms."
"Oracle products have a lot of complications...Oracle has a history of not really providing great support."
"The drawback with the tool is that though it is well-created, its users are under-trained to use it."
"If the data is large, the dashboard takes a really long time. So, based on the database, if you have around a million cost contacts, the load time is very low, and the dashboard fails."
"It should have more self-service capabilities."
"Supply chain and finance."
"Essbase integration needs to be worked on."
"The product needs to allow for better ways to drill down more effectively on the information at hand."
"There should be stronger data modules for the platform."
"It should offer better features for customization."
"The cost of owning the solutions from Tableau is much higher compared to any other analytical solutions."
"It needs more ETL capabilities, to be able to address the end-to-end BI need."
"I am not a frequent user of this solution, so I am not sure what they've been doing recently. The last time when I used it, I had to use other tools with it for data extraction and cleansing. Its price should also be improved. It is more expensive than Power BI. In terms of training, there is generally better online training for Power BI, but I am not sure of that. It would be helpful to know from where to access its training."
"Maybe the price could be a bit cheaper, especially if you're a personal developer that uses Tableau just to explore smaller data sets and you're not a company or something like that."
"In the next release, there should be more information describing each chart because users have a difficult time telling them apart. They should also include the animations/videos, similar to Power BI."
