Cons
"Stability and scalability an be improved for a full ten.""When you physically install a product on one machine instead of the cloud, you have a better visibility, best icon quality, etc.. It's more of an issue with how we are adapting to the transition. We are still in the early moments of using this tool, and we need to go deeper to discover some improvements.""There is a significant degree of sophistication required to compete with Tableau or Cognos.""The tool should come up with data modeling layer features that are present in other products like Power BI.""There are issues with integration and I encountered limits and warnings, especially with my pivot table size.""It's not yet a replacement for a complete BI tool.""Insisting on forums, blogs and community outreach in communications, and posting videos on an established calendar would be useful.""Panels are not as easy to use as other data extraction UIs."

More Google Data Studio Cons →

"Particularly on the Cloud, a lot of functionality has yet to be ported.""Supply chain and finance.""Managing the OB applications requires a high level of experience, and makes the solution quite heavy.""I would like to see Machine Learning included in this solution.""Customer service/technical support gets five out of 10.

Technically, Oracle accessory is extremely complex.

OBIEE lacks all those features.""Essbase integration needs to be worked on."

More Oracle OBIEE Cons →

    Reviews from Real Users

    Sandeep V., Process System Engineer at a comms service provider, tells us, “This solution is very easy for people who are building ad-hoc things. It's an enterprise solution so it can be deployed for a lot of users. There are some great new features that come with the 12c like data visualization, desktop BI Publisher, automation, and interactive dashboards. The product has good features. “ 

    A user who is a CEO at a consultancy relates, “The most valuable feature is the visualization. The data warehousing, data storage, and data wrangling are all features that are in there, and it's one of the better products out there. A good thing is that for large datasets, it's very stable, especially when you have an Oracle database.”

    A user who is a Principal Business Intelligence Architect at a computer software company suggests, "It is very biased towards Oracle infrastructure. One of the major red flags we have at the moment against Oracle is that it doesn't support deployment on other cloud providers. We're quite heavily vested in AWS as our infrastructure, and Oracle is yet to formally support deploying on those virtual infrastructure instances. That's quite disappointing, and it also cuts them out of over 70% of the market."



    Zoho Reports is a powerful, easy-to-use and highly scalable cloud-based reporting and business intelligence platform for small to medium-sized businesses. Its flexible pay-as-you-go pricing model and scope for customization allow businesses to tailor it to their unique needs.
