There are many tutorials and training materials available if needed.""It doesn't have many frills and is definitely older technology, but it is undeniably a workhorse.""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 has helped to consolidate data and report on a single version of the truth.""The centralized metadata model component is most valuable."

"It provides insights into leads, information about the team and about various sales activities. The graphical representations in the form of charts is excellent.""We can create advanced-level reports with the tool. We can get data from different Zoho applications and also from other third-party applications. We can create schedules for syncing data from third parties to Zoho Analytics. We can also use table queries for getting data from more than one table.""The front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful.""Scheduling of reports and dashboards is the most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics.""We use the solution for financial and sales analytics. It brings data from our IT incident management tool. Hence, we have three business use cases for IT support, sales and financials.""The solution’s dashboard is very good.""We really like that it's user friendly and has a lot of combinations and charts. They're good compared to other tools. We used a free Elastic product, comparatively, this solution is good because of their support, UI, and connecting to databases is very easy.""We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports."

Cons
"Oracle OBIEE could improve by having better integration and compatibility with other vendors.""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.""From an improvement perspective, the technical team should be able to provide more accurate answers by taking into consideration the context of the issues faced by users.""Oracle products have a lot of complications...Oracle has a history of not really providing great support.""Implementation is cumbersome and requires expertise.""It is not a good product for data visualization.""From the point of view of strategic management, I would like to have a feature, perhaps a form after we get to the KPI dashboard, to be used to note if something unusual happens in the operations. That way we could record extreme KPI situations, and track why a number is very low or too high.""Oracle OBIEE is a product that is not easy to implement. The product is also not easy to use."

More Oracle OBIEE Cons →

"The hourly pricing needs improvement.""The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support.""I have a lower rating when it comes to Zoho Analytics. The tool has poor performance. It needs to improve the dimensions and measures.""It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards.""There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics.""The tool needs to improve analysis and add more features.""The platform's pricing needs improvement.""In terms of improvement, they have a limited number of graphs available in their store. They should come up with more graph style forms. They should have more charts and at the same time, you can't create panels like with Microsoft BA."

  • More Oracle OBIEE Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I would recommend looking at your usage and whether the Zoho One license model would work for your organisation. It is very cost effective if you use other Zoho tools."
  • "An exact ROI is hard to calculate. However, we have definitely made sales that would have been much harder, or unlikely, as a result of the speed with which we were able to prepare comprehensive analysis."
  • "I don't feel that price is an issue for this product."

  • "For one license the pricing is about $35 a user."
  • "Zoho Analytics costs $ 4,200 per month, billed yearly."

    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.
