Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."The centralized metadata model component is most valuable."
"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 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."
"In terms of features, everything is good. It is also stable and scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to set up the automated delivery of reports."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the lexical parameters and distribution."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is interactive reporting because it allows better analysis versus conventional reporting, especially on the data warehouse side."
"SAP Analytics Hub offers a user-friendly interface with effortless configuration, seamless updates, and real-time availability of information. It avoids the complexities associated with batch processing, providing a smooth and efficient experience."
"This product provides good reports using a single pane of glass."
"What I like best about this solution is that it is built into the SAP line, making it easier to integrate with other SAP products."
"Data consistency is also a notable feature; the system takes care of data consistency, so you don't need to handle it manually."
"For report scheduling, I always prefer SAP because it has the most powerful scheduling features, like sending reports to more than 1,000 customers per day. That option is not as good in Microsoft BI and in Tableau it only exists as an add-on option."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics is its connectivity with ERP systems and the functionality to set up different fields for leads."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Zoho Analytics is the best software for giving reports to customers and we can create any report that is required."
"The front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful."
"Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."
"Scheduling of reports and dashboards is the most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics."
"The integration interface is very easy to use and allows you to directly connect to a variety of APIs."
"It's a very strong analytics tool."
"I would like to see the data wrangling features enhanced."
"In terms of tech support, we have our own technicians. But, we did register for their help. When we register a call, it takes time for them to respond to us."
"Even though we have a feature to enable the physical query to be seen in the log, in case of any issues, it is challenging to debug and see or identify where is the issue. For example, we designed the OBIEE repository and deployed it into the server, and we are now accessing and creating a report. For some reason, if the report is not working as expected, it is very difficult to identify the issue. We have a feature to see the physical query that is being generated in the central OBIEE server. I feel that this feature should have been available at the repository level so that while designing the repository, we can select the presentation columns and the query it is going to create. This will avoid the additional task of deploying a feature into the server and then testing the report. It will also make the implementation process friendly if, while designing the repository, we can see: How is a feature working? Are any of the presentation columns selected? How is the query being generated? Which query is being generated? Are any joints used? What kind of joints are used? Having this kind of information will make Oracle OBIEE more powerful and developer-friendly."
"It needs a better security management system."
"It was a little bit tedious to install a new release."
"One of the things that have been difficult with OBIEE during all the time that I've known it is that when something goes wrong, many times, the error messages are not specific, and you've got to spend a lot of time digging and digging and digging before you say, "Oh, okay. I figured out what it was." There should be more detailed error messages or troubleshooting messages."
"n the beginning it had it's stability issues, but it became stable."
"The performance could be better."
"The analytics part of SAP has not been that good up until now. They're still in the infant stage and development is still going on. SAP has some cloud analytics and they're trying to configure it in Lumira, but it's not that good at this point."
"The technical support for Analytics Hub is limited and could be improved."
"Pricing and support are integrated into the system. However, the support process can be challenging, particularly when navigating the SAP support site, which lacks user-friendliness and ease of access."
"The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience."
"Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub."
"This solution does not support manufacturing facilities."
"The solution's tasks and project management tools are weaker than those of its competitors."
"They should provide white labeling with a cheaper option. I know they have a white labeling feature in which I can white label Zoho Analytics with my company theme, logo, and URL, but it seems a little expensive. If they can make it cheaper, it would be great. The same is applicable to Tableau."
"The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times."
"It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards."
"The support for Zoho Analytics is pathetic."
"I like the solution's Query Table feature which helps me write SQL queries. We can get data from different tables and then use it to create reports."
"I have a lower rating when it comes to Zoho Analytics. The tool has poor performance. It needs to improve the dimensions and measures."
