Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We do you use Oracle support. We've been paying for an Oracle support subscription for four or five years, and not one ticket has ever been logged. When I came in, I've encouraged the team to ask Oracle questions. They do get back quite quickly. Their support is good. Working with our account managers, if I need to escalate anything, I can speak to them and they escalate the call. I've got that ecosystem working quite well. That does work for us.""It has a lot workaround in order to do the report. data blending, and getting information from big data sources.""It is easy to create a report quickly. It does not take much time to create an ad hoc report.""Its robustness is most valuable. It can handle massive amounts of data quickly. If it's properly configured and tuned, it can handle massive amounts of data very quickly to produce results. That to me is the number one feature.""It's easy to create fully-functional Dashboards.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's initial setup was straightforward.""The most valuable feature is the openness of the solution. It helps us integrate some of our clients.""There are some great new features in the latest version."

"Whenever we have an issue or are unsure how to proceed, they manage to simplify the issue and help us execute it in a graceful and scalable way.""No issues with stability. It is a very stable solution.""A very simple setup: Easy to download, install, and updates are pain free.""Visually displaying data.""The dashboard design interface is very intuitive and allows you to quickly and easily produce professional, innovative dashboards.""​Allows users to build their own solutions without as much reliance on technology staff.""The best part about this solution is how easy it is to mash up the data from many sources. Sisense is fast compared to other solutions.""The solution's technical support team is good."

Cons
"Oracle OBIEE could improve by having better integration and compatibility with other vendors.""The main problem we face is migrating all of the reports into the solution.""The performance could be better.""It is complex for designing RPD, and it can be simpler. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time.""The platform's interface needs improvement.""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.""In terms of tech support, we have our own technicians. But, we did register for their help. When we register a call, it takes time for them to respond to us.""Essbase integration needs to be worked on."

More Oracle OBIEE Cons →

"I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data.""Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T""The solution's setup process could be easier.""At present there are additional costs involved if we wish to share our data queues within this solution, which we would like to see removed.""This solution does not have tabs. In order to have tabs, you have to download an add-on to mimic the tabs. They should be integrated to improve the solution.""I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums.""I would also like to be able to run a bursts of reports based on different field values with PDF output right in the tool, rather than filtering on each field value and generating each PDF manually.""They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard."

    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."
