Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."The setup isn't too difficult."
"The main features of this solution are that it is easy to use, intuitive, and user-friendly. When I retrieve the data from the database it is in a very raw form, then when I use the Oracle Report Builder it has advanced intelligence features to allow me to view and make changes to the data easily."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is the security of the solution."
"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."
"It's easy to create fully-functional Dashboards."
"It has a lot workaround in order to do the report. data blending, and getting information from big data sources."
"There are a lot of functions in the product, including a drill-down functionality and level-based hierarchies that are very attractive."

"The solution deployment was straightforward."
"Easy for beginners to use"
"Tableau is easy to use compared to some other solutions, such as Excel."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"Its performance is pretty good, and the development time is very low."
"It is so easy to do a lot of things. There is a lot of flexibility and creativity in this product. In other products, you don't have this flexibility."
"It's intuitive and highly mature"
"The most valuable features of the solution are the permission management and the user management."
"The ability to do ad hoc explorations of data has been most valuable."
"ThoughtSpot takes the modifying of existing reports out of our hands."
"The scalability is good."
"It's easy to drill down or expand data to get more details right out of the box."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"I would say the return on investment is good. Whatever we invested, we got results. We have been finding it easy to use and onboard new use cases."
"I like ThoughtSpot's search capabilities. You can also create custom analytics even if you aren't an experienced data analyst. We have users with no data analytics experience making some of the dashboards we've created, copying components, and customizing them to their specific use cases."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"The pricing model could be improved. Right now, it's quite confusing. Many customers have this feeling that it's a super-expensive option."
"Oracle OBIEE only displays KPIs, but it does not include strategic objectives or display risk in a strategic map."
"It is complex for designing RPD, and it can be simpler. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
"When a large number of queries are running at the same time, the report fails."
"For a beginner, this is a product that is difficult to learn. You cannot learn it quickly."
"The platform's interface needs improvement."
"Oracle OBIEEE's performance and licensing costs could be improved."
"They should make the dashboard more intuitive."
"The ability to use it on MAC machines. As far as I know, this is not possible."
"From the developer perspective, the data connection handling the target data set is what most needs to be improved."
"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."
"Whenever it comes to specialized visualization, Tableau is an absolute failure."
"An advanced type of visualization is a bit tricky to create. It has something called a Calculated field, and that sometimes gets a bit difficult to use when you want to create an advanced type of visualization."
"The user experience for less savvy or non-technical people (from my experience)."
"The cost of owning the solutions from Tableau is much higher compared to any other analytical solutions."
"The customization in the front end is a bit difficult."
"The dashboards could give you more ability to fine tune the appearance. You get a great deal more control over how something looks in Power BI than you do in ThoughtSpot."
"ThoughtSpot is a fairly new product, so some usability aspects aren't as mature as we'd like them to be. One example is their organizational methodology, like how objects are organized in their dashboards inside the product. They're all on a flat list, which works if you've got five or 10 dashboards. However, it's insufficient when you're a large enterprise with multiple groups looking at the same dashboards. It isn't organized well."
"A customized visualization is lacking in this product."
"The one area of the solution that I do hear needs improvement is on the visualization front."
"If I want to order columns, this feature is not there."
"In terms of features, I'd like to be able to pivot data - for example, going from rows to columns. It's not easy to do."
"The most difficult thing I found is that it only deals with the files and does not have direct connectivity to databases."
"I would like to see more flexibility in adding the pins. Currently, we have four different sizes in which I can add pins, but I would like to be able to resize my pins."
