Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."The primary reason for using OBIEE is connectivity with Oracle E-Business Suite. It makes it easy to connect with our Oracle E-Business Suite. There are the standard dashboards available, which we sometimes use, and now we are looking for customized dashboards."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is its ease of use."
"It mostly supports enterprise level data. We have millions of records on a daily basis."
"They are introducing AI. There are good forecasting features and machine learning."
"The security is good. For example, we can implement column-level security."
"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 can be used with any type of data models, such as relational lines and dimensional lines."
"The centralized metadata model component is most valuable."
"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"It is a stable product."
"The initial setup is not very complex."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"The scalability is there."
"I like the connectivity the solution provides with other products."
"One feature I've found most valuable is discovery."
"The product is flexible and has features like AI, link analysis, and insights. It has many features. I can search, and it creates automatic charts without selecting anything. For example, I can ask, "What is the gross margin?" the tool builds a chart based on my question."
"Data integration is very good."
"The tool's most valuable features are the BI and planning functionalities. I value being able to integrate smart planning with BI for analysis. The solution is user-friendly."
"The features that are most valuable in SAP Analytics Cloud are the planning feature and the predictive analytics feature, though the planning feature needs to be more efficient."
"Technical support is helpful."
"Real-time data makes for a single version of the truth."
"OBIEE doesn't have audit logs."
"It's not so flexible to do BI reporting directly from the data source without models. It is not that agile."
"Warehouse and business intelligence are two different things, but OBIEE also has some warehouse features in it. I would like to see some of those capabilities improved."
"We were not satisfied with the support, because we could not obtain answers or solutions."
"The functionality to customize and modify reports has been removed, and it would be beneficial to reinstall it, as it allows greater customization and flexibility in creating reports."
"For a beginner, this is a product that is difficult to learn. You cannot learn it quickly."
"It needs a better security management system."
"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."
"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
"It needs work with visualization."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"Needs improvement with UI transparency."
"The solution is quite costly."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"The pricing is high."
"The business intelligence features should be improved because there is a lack of functionality regarding that part."
"Live Data Models are very slow and the setup can be improved, with tools such as Cloud Connector being inbuilt into SAP Analytics Cloud. Likewise, we need to write application code from scratch, rather than tweaking existing code, as we might with Excel macros. Moreover, when using responsive pages, the widgets get adjusted according to the mobile screen. As a result, when I place two or three KPI tiles, they can only be viewed tile-by-tile. We want to see the full dashboard on the mobile screen and zoom in to click on a particular section of the dashboard and go further into that. But displaying tile-by-tile makes it very annoying and the upper management using this dashboard might not be aware there are any more tiles to view."
"An additional feature that needs to be added to SAP Analytics Cloud is exporting because right now, you can only export to PDF and PowerPoint. It would be good to have multiple export options, for example, to Excel and other apps. Pricing is an area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud, apart from exporting."
"It should have the flexibility for scoping the story and models. When you use it in a three-layer architecture, you struggle with the fact that you usually have just one SAP Analytics Cloud tenant, and you have to switch the connections, which might be an issue for bigger developments. For the development role, there should be an option to switch between development and production scenarios."
"Could be more user-friendly; somewhat complicated to use."
"I expect more integration from SAP Analytics Cloud."
"The solution should include other scripting languages as well, such as Python."
"Custom visuals is another area of improvement. There are also some mobile features that are missing. There are features that aren't available on the mobile."
