We performed a comparison between MicroStrategy and Oracle OBIEE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I really like the visualizations. I like how you can put large data sets in there, then the user can quickly go through the data and drill down at various levels to understand things."
"It definitely impacts people, who are excited to use it."
"We have ramped up user adoption."
"We have been using it mostly for grid reports and its exporting features."
"The solution is ideal for enterprise-level companies or corporations."
"The platform can be easily monitored. You have quite a good overview of tasks which are being run."
"The whole repository side of things is beneficial because you develop it once, and you can use it anywhere, in the Enterprise grade."
"Our primary use case is to deliver all data insights to our company."
"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."
"The “Business Model & Mapping” layer in the Administration Tool, because the maintenance and evolution processes are greatly facilitated."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The solution offers a wide range of software tools to meet various needs, such as those concerning reports, developer solutions like APEX and the integration of data."
"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."
"It is easy to use...I rate the scalability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting."
"Oracle OBIEE is a scary and stable product since it is a strong and well-created tool... In short, the solution is stable since it works properly every day."
"It crashes multiple times for even small changes that I make on the fly in the dashboard. After doing all the necessary changes, the MicroStrategy desktop or even the web version kicks the users out, and all the changes are lost. This functionality is buggy in MicroStrategy. It is hard to keep track of all the changes that I have done before. I don't want to make copies of each change that I have made because I would end up creating a hundred dashboards. It is not feasible in a real environment. I haven't worked on integrating MicroStrategy with the cloud. I am not sure how it behaves in the cloud, but I have heard from a few of my friends that there are some hiccups when you kind of sync to the cloud through MicroStrategy."
"I would like to see more integration."
"There are some challenges in our organization on how we store the data."
"I would like to see a feature where migrations are easier. When you migrate from certain environments, it could probably be a little cleaner. Sometimes it seems to be somewhat clunky when you migrate from one environment, say a development to a test or production environment."
"MicroStrategy's mobile dashboard is still not a RESTful design."
"Another feature to consider in the future would be adding some additional offline capabilities without using desktops."
"With Cube partition (v10.1 and above) scalability has not been an issue, but the Cube publish time, and temporary space consumption while the Cube is being published, has almost doubled during implementation of Cube partition."
"We've found the scalability to be very good. However, it depends on the environment. In general, it could be much better."
"Essbase integration needs to be worked on."
"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 solution needs to be easier to scale."
"I would like to see the data wrangling features enhanced."
"Oracle OBIEE can improve the ease of use. It is a lot to learn and it could be made easier."
"Retail, Finance, Wholesale"
"It crashes when many people login simultaneously."
"It takes a lot of maintenance to support the architecture, which is something that should be improved."
