Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."We pretty much use the knowledge base. We feel that Microstrategy's community is a good forum to use."
"There's extensive logging capabilities, if something is wrong then we are able to find out why."
"It drives us away from Excel. For what it is for, it is good. You can't run a business on Excel."
"On our mobile solution you can deploy up to 100,000 users. In our case, we're up to about 10,000 active users, and MicroStrategy's server technology behind the scenes, the Intelligence Server and the Mobile Servers, are very robust and they can handle the workload."
"The architecture is very solid."
"The technical support is quite good."
"The implementation was fairly straightforward."
"With the new version that's coming out, I think they have simplified a lot of things. Also, when it comes to the administration part, and sharing, and the collaboration features, they are really great. You can send out comments with a filter to someone in your organization, and if the person clicks on it, he actually sees what you are seeing. So that's really great."
"The most valuable feature is the visualization."
"Both the vertical and horizontal scalability of the solution is good. In terms of scalability, I would rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"Oracle OBIEE is very easy to use. Looking at analytics, I think they have come a long way by adding new features like visualization, which is really cool."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is it's designed for Oracle. It works well in the Oracle environment and can sit on top of any application."
"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 mostly supports enterprise level data. We have millions of records on a daily basis."
"The scalability of the product is good."
"It is useful to use a tool like this to have a view of data at a point in time. You can extract and create little data sets that you can store, and then over time, you can have a view for tracking changes. Especially when you work with a relational database or a database that's a production database, the data is dynamic, but if you use QlikView, you can take a snapshot of different datasets. In your own time, you can then get insights and report, build, analyze, and draw whatever you need from the data, which is quite useful."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations."
"Easy to analyze data by click-through."
"The solution is fast."
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"It excels in supporting database connections and various database types."
"There needs to be better visualization."
"They need to improve the web."
"The solution's reports are not very flexible."
"Needs more visualizations out-of-the-box."
"The graphs available for the new dashboard of version 10 are weak."
"The solution's licensing could be improved because its cost is heavy on the pockets."
"Needs more visual essence and connectors for the ecosystems, which would be easy to use."
"I would like to see more integration."
"An area for improvement is that Oracle pushes more users to Oracle BI Publisher rather than emphasizing Oracle OBIEE for reporting. The pricing for Oracle OBIEE could be improved."
"The pricing model could be improved. Right now, it's quite confusing. Many customers have this feeling that it's a super-expensive option."
"The platform's interface needs improvement."
"n the beginning it had it's stability issues, but it became stable."
"I would like to see enhancements in tracking, debugging, and flexibility."
"The documentation in Oracle OBIEE can be more user-friendly."
"If the data is large, the dashboard takes a really long time. So, based on the database, if you have around a million cost contacts, the load time is very low, and the dashboard fails."
"BI Server"
"For me, it is important to have a mix, what is the "view" and what is the "sense", Qlik Sense. They have two tools, but for me it is important to have only one tool, which combines the functions that we have from one side and the other side."
"It needs work with visualization."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
"They could improve the update time."
"The user interface is old."
"The tool is expensive in Turkey."
