We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI, Oracle OBIEE, and Teradata Data Lab based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, SAP and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."I have found the most valuable feature of this solution is the Natural Language tool."
"I like having the ability to connect Excel files as data inputs."
"The scalability overall has been quite good."
"Its connectivity with other Office applications, mostly with Excel, and the ability to deploy it very easily are the most valuable features. It comes sort of bundled with the cloud, so you don't need to set up a server and a standalone infrastructure. So, getting into the system or building something that you can deploy is very easy and very cheap. With other systems, you need to have a server, and you need to have a license for the server. The initial setup is very costly."
"There is a lot of help and documentation on the Internet, so no special training is needed to use the source code."
"If you are not very technical this tool could be very useful."
"I think the visualization part is valuable."
"This product has a lot of features and most of them are user-friendly."
"It provides excellent stability."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting."
"The most valuable feature is the openness of the solution. It helps us integrate some of our clients."
"In terms of features, everything is good. It is also stable and scalable."
"The solution is easy to use and very flexible."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is the security of the solution."
"We have scheduled reports delivered automatically to our business users using enterprise features."
"It has increased the speed of reporting."
"In Data Lab, you can schedule any testing you want to do in production. You can take a small subset of data from production, copy it there, and run all your tests. It reduces your testing costs because it's all in the lab."
"Sometimes while developing, the front end is not easily customizable and it has limitations. We cannot go and do any UI we want. We have to stick to the limitations of the product."
"BI is scalable, but there are some problems with limited online storage."
"Adding paginated reports to this tool could be of great help for users who want to move away from SSRS."
"The integration with third-party products could be more stable."
"The performance of Microsoft BI could improve for large datasets and it would be beneficial to have more visualization features."
"You need to purchase upgraded support separately."
"The maps in Power BI could be improved. You deal with many maps over the years, like maps of America and Saudi Arabia. The maps aren't detailed enough, and there aren't enough visualization tools. Whenever I want to use a map, I struggle with choosing the right visualization."
"The integration in Microsoft BI could improve for other solutions, such as Oracle DB and PostgresSQL. Additionally, the reporting from the databases to Microsoft BI should be in real-time and the overall performance could be better."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see Machine Learning included in this solution."
"When a large number of queries are running at the same time, the report fails."
"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."
"The performance and the complex setup are the main reason for switching to Qlik Sense."
"n the beginning it had it's stability issues, but it became stable."
"Warehouse and business intelligence are two different things, but OBIEE also has some warehouse features in it. I would like to see some of those capabilities improved."
"Their level of technical support is adequate. It could be better."
"The initial setup was complex as we had to rewrite a lot of the code."
"If I want to implement an upgrade, I'd like to see how it will be different. Ideally, Data Lab should help me test production items and also do future things. Future releases should be downloadable and testable in Data Lab."
