Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The security is good. For example, we can implement column-level security."
"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."
"User-friendly look and feel."
"Inter Process Communication."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting."
"I think the most valuable features are the ability to drill down, the graphs, and the scheduling for the reports to be received in Excel on a daily basis. Users like Excel, so it's good for them that they receive the reports by email, that they don't have to specify the schedule."
"I like that Oracle OBIEE comes with more options. For example, more options with data security, user security, and other security. It's more complicated than Microsoft, but it gives you more options. They also added the part for machine learning, which is good."
"It is easy to use...I rate the scalability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"Data handling, visualizations, and aesthetics of it are the most valuable features."
"I like the solution's web version, more so than Power BI's web version. It just makes it easier to drag and drop things and to blend data on the backend. It simplifies the process."
"Tableau is good for routine dashboards, and it has integration with Slack, through which it can send you daily updates."
"Tableau is very good in the front-end visualization compared to Power BI."
"It allows us to basically understand and evaluate our numbers in an expedient manner."
"I have found the solution easy to use and the interface is very good."
"The solution is easy to use, flexible, our clients enjoy seeing the data on maps, and you do not need to be an expert in SQL to use it."
"Provides a very good sound analysis quotient."
"Retail, Finance, Wholesale"
"n the beginning it had it's stability issues, but it became stable."
"I would like to see Machine Learning included in this solution."
"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."
"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."
"It could be more user-friendly. For example, the RPD layer could be more straightforward. From a user's point of view, the visualization, especially the graphs, are not as attractive when compared to other tools like QlikView and Qlik Sense."
"It takes a lot of maintenance to support the architecture, which is something that should be improved."
"Oracle OBIEE could improve by having better integration and compatibility with other vendors."
"I have noticed that Tableau is not very compatible with ClickHouse. There's no direct connection to ClickHouse; you have to set up an ODBC connection."
"Requires a lot of user training."
"The process of embedding the dashboards on external portals and websites could be improved."
"Tableau's data modeling, mining, and AI library features need improvement."
"The integration with other program languages, like Python, needs to be better."
"The data processing in Tableau is pathetic compared to Qlik."
"Its documentation can be improved so that a user can get a good hands-on experience. Tableau is well documented, and on their website, there are a lot of tutorials that are available for free. I started my learning process through those tutorials, but there are certain loopholes in those tutorials, which only got filled through a couple of good YouTube channels that talk about Tableau. YouTube helped me a lot. So, the documentation could be better, I understand that it is evolving day by day, and with more usage, there would be more such documentation."
"The data entered into Tableau must be clean. Otherwise, it won't work properly."
