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."Provides good data visualization features, and provides a lot of visualization reports from various data sources."
"The most valuable feature is the visualization."
"We have scheduled reports delivered automatically to our business users using enterprise features."
"It's the connectors, the adapters. Built in connectors with different ERPs, you can plug in XL, other sources of data. It's very easy to configure. It's very easy to use."
"It's easy to create fully-functional Dashboards."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is its ease of use."
"Oracle OBIEE is good for data visualization and analytical reporting."
"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."
"Data handling is one of the best features of SAS Visual Analytics."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"What I really love about the software is that I have never struggled in implementing it for complex business requirements. It is good for highly sophisticated and specialized statistics in the areas that some people tend to call artificial intelligence. It is used for everything that involves visual presentation and analysis of highly sophisticated statistics for forecasting and other purposes."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"It's a stable, reliable product."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great."
"I would like to see Machine Learning included in this solution."
"The performance could improve and in a future release, they could provide more virtualization options."
"We needed some technical expertise during setup."
"Oracle OBIEE is a product that is not easy to implement. The product is also not easy to use."
"There are a lot of aspects of Oracle OBIEE that are exceptionally complicated, make things unnecessarily difficult for everyone who uses it. In terms of the integrations, Oracle needs to improve a little more, but I believe that they have tried to capture all those issues. The issues we are facing in the Oracle OBIEE 12C versions, in the Oracle Analytical Server Center or Analytical Cloud versions, Oracle has managed to overcome the challenges."
"While it is a user-friendly, data-driven tool, the data modeling should be easier to use."
"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."
"Its functionality is lacking."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"There are scalability issues. It depends on the data volume and number of end-users. VA requires a lot of hardware resources to move volumes of data."
"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
"The visualization should be better in SAS Visual Analytics. It is easy to use but when compared to other solutions it is lacking and the support is not very good."
