Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."It is highly efficient and easily scalable, particularly for handling large databases."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"I have found the most valuable aspect is the user-friendly environment and current features."
"Unlike relational, where you're linking together multiple tables, with Essbase, you basically define what the dimensions are beforehand, and you define the hierarchy, and then load the data. This allows you to do a pretty sophisticated analysis so that you can drill into it and slice and dice the data."
"The solution is scalable."
"It helps us fetch specific data sets per users' requirements."
"The solution can handle a large volume of data."
"Essbase is extremely stable and low-maintenance."
"We have scheduled reports delivered automatically to our business users using enterprise features."
"The centralized metadata model component is most valuable."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"I have not personally used any such products related to this service, however based on the popular opinion, Microsoft Power BI is more popular. We have never switched from this software due to infrastructure and license related costs. However, my team acknowledges that the Power BI is much more enhanced and includes features that are easier to use, including its drag and drop features. I am not sure, if OBIEE has these features, due to lack of updated versions."
"The most valuable feature is the openness of the solution. It helps us integrate some of our clients."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is its ease of use."
"The “Business Model & Mapping” layer in the Administration Tool, because the maintenance and evolution processes are greatly facilitated."
"The solution is easy to use and very flexible."
"It is a central source of up-to-date data and information."
"It is able to create information dashboards for various users' throughout."
"It reduces time to reproduce reports, provides easy access to organisational data, and has the ability to generate a wide range of reports and analysis."
"It's an expensive product to use."
"The ability to drive external reporting out for development could be improved."
"Essbase has a programming language, and it has a couple of functions to do forecasting, however, their feature set for that is not that good."
"The initial setup is pretty complex."
"I would like to see an integration with application performance management and a version control management tool."
"They should improve the solution's performance."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"There is room for improvement in terms of cost-effectiveness."
"Oracle OBIEE is a product that is not easy to implement. The product is also not easy 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."
"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's a lot of redundancy, especially in relation to creating the code."
"There are times we have slowness when processing the reports with Oracle OBIEE. Improving the performance would be beneficial."
"Oracle OBIEE could improve the visualizations, such as diagrams, charts, and graphical user interface. Other tools on the market have better graphical visualizations this Oracle OBIEE."
"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."
"The platform's interface needs improvement."
"It needs more presentation/charting capabilities and integration with GIS."
