We performed a comparison between Oracle OBIEE and Tableau based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 performance can issue queries to work in the Oracle database in Oracle's native language. There are a lot of visualizations which suit our business."
"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."
"Easy to create ad hoc reporting for different solutions."
"It's easy to use for business analysts."
"We have scheduled reports delivered automatically to our business users using enterprise features."
"It is easy to create a report quickly. It does not take much time to create an ad hoc report."
"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."
"Both the vertical and horizontal scalability of the solution is good. In terms of scalability, I would rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"It is definitely easy to use. It is intuitive, and more or less, everything can be done from the front end. As such, there is no concept of metadata. You can just take data from a database and start building your own stuff, such as OLAP data warehouse. You don't need extensive metadata modeling like Oracle BI."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the permission management and the user management."
"Tableau's most valuable feature is its ability to connect with various data sources and display real-time data on three different dashboards."
"Partner support is very good."
"The feature that is currently most valuable is the import feature where I can link to an Excel data source. I'm not using it with any other data source, such as SQL Server. I directly link it to an Excel sheet, and if I change anything in that Excel sheet, the changed data immediately gets reflected in the virtualization. This is something that is very convenient for me as of now."
"From the data science point of view, we use it for model building purposes. For example, if we are using it for a bank and we want to understand how much loan the bank can provide, we can use visualization to show the educational qualification, salary, gender, and city of a customer, and by using this information, we can arrive at the loan amount that this person is eligible for. I can also use it to view all prospective customers, so essentially, this is going to help me in model building as well as in understanding and segmenting customers and doing forecasting and predictive analytics. We use model widgets, and we can create thousands of visualizations, such as motion charts and bubble charts. We can also create animated versions of the graphs and view the data from multiple dimensions. These are the features that we typically use and like."
"It is very easy to create dashboards, charts, and graphs."
"Tableau is easy to use and it has great predictive 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."
"Particularly on the Cloud, a lot of functionality has yet to be ported."
"Oracle OBIEE can improve the ease of use. It is a lot to learn and it could be made easier."
"Its functionality is lacking."
"The solution is too expensive for small firms."
"While it is a user-friendly, data-driven tool, the data modeling should be easier to use."
"The performance could improve and in a future release, they could provide more virtualization options."
"We were not satisfied with the support, because we could not obtain answers or solutions."
"To be the best in the market, Tableau has to improve its user interface and also look into developing implementing the best machine learning algorithms."
"People are migrating to Microsoft BI due to the speed, which is quite slow to load, and the lack of visualization options."
"If they could add global filters in the stories, more chart types, and default colours, it would help."
"Could have more integrations with different platforms."
"Some of our clients are looking for better UI when using Tableau as they often work with this solution directly."
"I take a long time to process the hundreds of thousands or millions of records that must be processed every day."
"I would like them to include the Italian language, as I can see there are other foreign language in the product."
"I would like Tableau Prep to be integrated with Tableau Desktop. I would also like more customizations for tables."
