Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools.
"The solution effectively integrates with third-party products."
"The most valuable features are user-friendly and self-service tools. Users can define their reports based on available data sets, with multiple dimensions and slide and dice data capabilities."
"Its ease of use and the ability to drill down into detail are the most valuable. Executive dashboarding features are the most commonly used ones."
"Initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution offers a wide range of software tools to meet various needs, such as those concerning reports, developer solutions like APEX and the integration of data."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to set up the automated delivery of reports."
"I think having the conformed structures makes it a lot easier for end users and pulling reports together."
"Ability to create our own reports."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting."
"It has helped to consolidate data and report on a single version of the truth."
"Provides good data visualization features, and provides a lot of visualization reports from various data sources."
"The visualization is very good."
"It has made the reporting stage simple and enabled us to focus mainly on the ETL part"
"This solution has transformed us from an Excel reporting environment to one of visual exploration."
"I consider Tableau to be the best analytical tool available. It's really handy to use and can be used by non-technical people."
"The solution is configurable and flexible. We can customize the dashboards and configure the interface the way that we want. The data can be manipulated and arranged in different ways, such as columns."
"The initial setup is quick and easy and you don't need special outside assistance to set everything up."
"It's very easy to set everything up."
"The action feature which Tableau has is very useful for us. If we click on one visualization, it will pass the value to another visualization. That interactivity within different visualizations is the most valuable feature of Tableau."
"The solution allows for the possibility for end-users to do their own reporting."
"When looking at web-based BI or cloud-based BI vendors, there should be abilities for power users to build deep analysis. If they are not data science tools, they are not for power users."
"Quality of support varies."
"In terms of data modeling, it could be simplified. Sometimes, it seems complicated. Also, the response time for data set refreshes could be faster to enhance the user experience."
"The dashboard could be improved and include additional features."
"I find I prefer Oracle OAC over OBIEE. It's more advanced, has artificial intelligence, and there's more that we can do with it in general. OBIEE is lacking features."
"It is not a good product for data visualization."
"It takes a lot of maintenance to support the architecture, which is something that should be improved."
"One feature I would definitely like to see is the ability to provide the in-memory data. Oracle might have some plugins but, as of now, that feature isn't available out-of-the-box. You might have to purchase that feature."
"Oracle OBIEE can improve the ease of use. It is a lot to learn and it could be made easier."
"This solution is weak in the data science perspective. I have past data science experience. And, I find that there is a lot of room for improvement in terms of incorporating more advanced statistical modeling into the product."
"They should develop greater visualization because their visualization isn't industry leading at the moment. The way you pull the data and see the data compared to other platforms, they're lagging a little bit behind. Also, their cost. I've got Oracle account managers trying to persuade me every day to purchase these licenses. Once you purchase OBIEE, then you have to purchase the virtualization and then you have to purchase the mobile license to operate on the mobile. It's really expensive."
"From the point of view of strategic management, I would like to have a feature, perhaps a form after we get to the KPI dashboard, to be used to note if something unusual happens in the operations. That way we could record extreme KPI situations, and track why a number is very low or too high."
"There could be improvements on the mobile application, it is lacking features."
"The pricing is a bit higher than the competition. They'll need to lower it to stay competitive."
"In the next release, I would like to be able to have the option to see more raw data that I'm converting on the dashboard."
"The architecture should be improved to better handle the data."
"I would like to be able to set the parameters in a more specific manner."
"It should have more integration with different tools and technologies. Its licensing cost should also be improved."
"With performance tuning, it generates a pretty complex query when it is not required."
"Many things have to be improved in Tableau. Right now, we make the calculation, and then we get that information. It would be better if business users could do that. I would ask the people at Tableau to provide that option to business users to get that information in one click. It would be better if they automated some calculations. There should be more automation in Tableau. However, there are many things in automation mode, but it is very limited at the moment. We need automation for people who do not know much about Tableau. It would also be better if there were good community support like in Alteryx."
