"I think it's flexible. I chose this solution because, even though it wasn't out-of-the-box, you can customize it, and the long-term growth potential of the software is where I see the value."
"My favourite feature of BOARD is the ability to write back to the OLAP DB, as well as the Rdb, and secure user data allowing databases to be flushed and rebuilt daily."
"BOARD technical support is knowledgeable and helpful."
"The benefits are getting the data in one spot, the ability to report dynamically, and version control."
"The reporting part has been very valuable as the capabilities of the tool do not have to change graphs, change how grids are displayed, and can create reports on the fly."
"By using Board we can do a lot of free analysis. We can change the layout of a table and even the end-user can change the layout of a table. And in Board 11.2 you can save the layout. That's very useful for the customer, it's a very good function."
"It has a good set of visual elements that you can use and can explain quite well."
"Provides good data visualization features, and provides a lot of visualization reports from various data sources."
"The most valuable feature is the openness of the solution. It helps us integrate some of our clients."
"The main features of this solution are that it is easy to use, intuitive, and user-friendly. When I retrieve the data from the database it is in a very raw form, then when I use the Oracle Report Builder it has advanced intelligence features to allow me to view and make changes to the data easily."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE, for me, would be the Web Catalog. From a development perspective, I do not need any client or any software to be installed on my laptop or desktop. Everything is browser-based, so I just open the browser and start development."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's initial setup was straightforward."

"It needs more export to Excel functionality. Right now, we're having to build within the cloud-based platform, as well as build within the Excel add-in, because the export to Excel is somewhat ugly."
"I would like to see better relationships with the partners."
"If we could upload other data, e.g., pivot tables which can be done in BOARD already, that we have pre-existing and have that data distribute to more complex spreadsheets, I would like that going forward."
"We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. "
"The setup was a bit complex."
"What could be better is the manual... nowadays, most people use a web client, but on the Board manual website, a lot of the information is only about the Windows client. If they could update that, it would be helpful."
"It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use."
"In our organization, we feel that data visualization for APIs is an area in which the solution lacks."
"BI Server"
"The ability to migrate from one version to another, such as doing so from version 11 to an upgraded 12 of Oracle business environment, can be difficult."
"While it is a user-friendly, data-driven tool, the data modeling should be easier to use."
"Its overall organization as an analytical tool, the layout of OBIEE, is not very good."
"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."
"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."
