Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in Reporting."The Report Studio that is aimed at professional report writers."
"For planning, forecasting, in-boxing, modeling in general and for predicting numbers and doing work analysis, they are excellent."
"A positive feature is Report Studio, where we create beautiful, complex reports."
"Mapbox integration for geospatial analytics down to longitude/latitude layers."
"Dashboarding, reporting, and ad hoc reporting are the valuable features of IBM Cognos."
"I have worked on the features like dashboards and stories, and I do like them a lot."
"Report Studio: This is the most powerful and sophisticated tool for professional reporting."
"It has a very powerful edit feature which allows users to back out of changes (undo) without forcing them to recreate entire reports."
"I think the most valuable features are the ability to drill down, the graphs, and the scheduling for the reports to be received in Excel on a daily basis. Users like Excel, so it's good for them that they receive the reports by email, that they don't have to specify the schedule."
"We do you use Oracle support. We've been paying for an Oracle support subscription for four or five years, and not one ticket has ever been logged. When I came in, I've encouraged the team to ask Oracle questions. They do get back quite quickly. Their support is good. Working with our account managers, if I need to escalate anything, I can speak to them and they escalate the call. I've got that ecosystem working quite well. That does work for us."
"It can be used with any type of data models, such as relational lines and dimensional lines."
"It's easy to use for business analysts."
"I like the cloud deployment feature. There are about 20 new features, and they are available on mobile and more. I haven't used any of them, but these features are highly attractive."
"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 solution has great reporting and forecasting capabilities."
"Dashboards provide us with various views and perspectives on our data, allowing us to analyze metrics such as revenue, occupancy rates, etc."
"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."
"We find the access restrictions on different user groups valuable."
"You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards."
"I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...The deployment process of TIBCO Jaspersoft is easy."
"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."
"It's easy to use and maintain."
"The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."
"Chart quality: many other competitors have charts and graphics that look much better and that provide dynamic effects. Cognos doesn't."
"It would be better if it is was easier to implement without extensive training for it."
"The solution seems to slow down the servers."
"Compared to Tableau and PowerBI, the IBM interface is easier to use. However, the drag-and-drop functionality isn't as straightforward. Formatting is also more challenging in the cloud than in other applications, like Power BI. Also, if you encounter an issue, it takes more time to resolve it on the formatting side."
"Extending dynamic cubes aggregate awareness with calculated measures."
"One key area for improvement is the need to improve the self-service nature and functionality of the product in terms of visual analytics."
"Cognos charts are not as fast as those of the other tools, even with DQM (dynamic query mode)."
"I would like for the platform to become more standard. If we make a development on our report and our dashboard, it will not be used in another solution. That means there is no portability for the developers."
"I would like to see enhancements in tracking, debugging, and flexibility."
"Oracle OBIEE can improve the ease of use. It is a lot to learn and it could be made easier."
"We needed some technical expertise during setup."
"It is complex for designing RPD, and it can be simpler. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
"Retail, Finance, Wholesale"
"I would like to see Machine Learning included in this solution."
"Oracle OBIEE only displays KPIs, but it does not include strategic objectives or display risk in a strategic map."
"The solution is too expensive for small firms."
"Currently, JSON format is the main format we use, however, in TIBCO Jaspersoft, XML format is the default and JSON did not work because TIBCO did not fix it."
"We'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing."
"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."
"I would like to see better support for big data."
"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."
"There might be some compatibility issues with the dashboard if we're using the latest version and some clients are using the older version. Some features might not be supported."
"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."
"The upgrades are not easy."
