We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI, Oracle OBIEE, and Tableau based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in Reporting."Very intuitive and easy to use."
"Power BI has strong support from Microsoft. If you need help, they answer promptly. There are also several discussion groups where you can get information, like the product roadmap and any new things coming up."
"The solution integrates with other Microsoft solutions very well."
"Other people can access data much more easily than before. Its usability is the main advantage, people in the company are using it."
"The good part of it is that you can do whatever you want with it when it comes to building BI. In terms of languages, it supports Python, and it also natively supports R."
"It is quite easy to use and it helps me to achieve the projects that I've been assigned."
"The solution is stable with reasonable performance."
"We encourage end users to use Power BI because it's quite easy for them to interact with the menus and the navigation bar. Even for ordinary users, they can create their own dashboard using Power BI."
"The visualization is very good."
"It is easy to create a report quickly. It does not take much time to create an ad hoc report."
"A great feature of the solution is its stability."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is interactive reporting because it allows better analysis versus conventional reporting, especially on the data warehouse side."
"The technical support services are good."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is the security of the solution."
"The most valuable features are the lexical parameters and distribution."
"In terms of features, everything is good. It is also stable and scalable."
"The ability to deploy is the added ability to centralise the Tableau repository for all Tableau Developers."
"Tableau Prep tool for data preparation is a most valuable tool."
"The most valuable feature is that we can integrate with our own database, and it will displays the KPIs. This is highly required from the business side."
"Good data flow and management."
"I have found the solution easy to use and the interface is very good."
"Tableau's most valuable feature is its ability to connect with various data sources and display real-time data on three different dashboards."
"Tableau is an advanced specialized tool. One of the best features I've seen is the lack of an intermediate semantic layer. I think that's an advantage compared to any other tool like BusinessObjects or Power BI, which are Tableau's biggest competitors."
"Show Me is a feature to help with knowing which chart is an appropriate one for the selected variables, and it makes helps in creating appropriate visuals."
"It needs a wizard that covers all its options."
"A lot of people work on Excel, so being able to export an Excel file as part of a subscription would be an improvement."
"If I compare it to Tableau, I'd say the visualizations can be better. We should have multiple options. By that I mean, while there are multiple options for the visualization, the look and feel of the dashboard when you compare to Tableau is on the lower side. Tableau has a much better visualization."
"It is not yet ready for enterprises. For a big enterprise data model, it is not so stable, and it also doesn't scale so well."
"The graphic interface could be better."
"It is not the right tool to do deeper analysis or predictions. When you have some data and you want to do some deep analysis, there is no feature to help you with this."
"The on-premises version lacks some technical features that are available with the Cloud version."
"The solution could improve the mobile application design. It is difficult to use compared to the desktop version."
"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."
"The platform's interface needs improvement."
"Retail, Finance, Wholesale"
"Oracle OBIEE is a product that is not easy to implement. The product is also not easy to use."
"It takes a lot of maintenance to support the architecture, which is something that should be improved."
"It's not so flexible to do BI reporting directly from the data source without models. It is not that agile."
"The ability to migrate from one version to another, such as doing so from version 11 to an upgraded 12 of Oracle business environment, can be difficult."
"It should have more self-service capabilities."
"We need big servers to perform the operations that we are doing. They should probably relook at its architecture."
"In the next release, there should be more information describing each chart because users have a difficult time telling them apart. They should also include the animations/videos, similar to Power BI."
"The product's features for cloud integration need improvement."
"When you're working on a dashboard, you can't select multiple components at a time and align them, so you have to go one by one. This is very cumbersome."
"The forecasting feature in Tableau in my view is too limited because it must have dates but I should be able to predict the outcome of an event without having a date as part of the input."
"It would be nice to include more features on each dashboard."
"Bursting email is needed to deliver the reports to many people in their inboxes and this functionality is not provided by Tableau."
"The solution needs to improve its integration capabilities."
