We performed a comparison between Board 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."What is very valuable is the ability to customize. We didn't see a solution out there that really matched exactly what our functional requirements would be. So we were able to work with New Brain, our integrator, and we were able to build from the ground up what we wanted, and I think that's pretty unique to BOARD."
"My favourite feature of BOARD is the ability to write back to the OLAP DB, as well as the Rdb, and secure user data allowing databases to be flushed and rebuilt daily."
"The most valuable features are the reporting and the charts. The reporting functionality is handy for aggregation, when it comes to planning. That ability is fascinating and our users are very happy with it. The charts and the reporting allow our users to see all the data and to see how things are going this year or in the COVID situation. They're seeing everything. Instead of having to check data line by line, they're seeing it in a graph and they're seeing it in charts."
"Instead of taking two people a week each month to perform our internal KPI reporting, the same two people can have it done in a day."
"Primary valuable features are its flexibility and versatility and, obviously, functionality goes along with that. Plus, it does that at a small footprint in the file servers, and does it very efficiently."
"BOARD technical support is knowledgeable and helpful."
"I think it's flexible. I chose this solution because, even though it wasn't out-of-the-box, you can customize it, and the long-term growth potential of the software is where I see the value."
"The drill down is good for people who have that high level view, because they can do some analysis based on it."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the various scenarios the product offers and its stability."
"The primary reason for using OBIEE is connectivity with Oracle E-Business Suite. It makes it easy to connect with our Oracle E-Business Suite. There are the standard dashboards available, which we sometimes use, and now we are looking for customized dashboards."
"I think having the conformed structures makes it a lot easier for end users and pulling reports together."
"It mostly supports enterprise level data. We have millions of records on a daily basis."
"It's easy to use for business analysts."
"Oracle OBIEE is very easy to use. Looking at analytics, I think they have come a long way by adding new features like visualization, which is really cool."
"It's easy to create fully-functional Dashboards."
"We have scheduled reports delivered automatically to our business users using enterprise features."
"I would like to see better relationships with the partners."
"One thing that I personally would like to see is additional visualization tools for visuals."
"It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"My analysts have used the technical support. Sometimes they have felt like they did not receive the answer that they needed, or you have to go and upgrade in order to address a problem. "
"We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD."
"What could be better is the manual... nowadays, most people use a web client, but on the Board manual website, a lot of the information is only about the Windows client. If they could update that, it would be helpful."
"We have had some challenges with newer version of the rollout in terms of stability."
"The solution is too expensive for small firms."
"Retail, Finance, Wholesale"
"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."
"Expanding beyond pure data reporting and into analytics, or expanding data science, would be areas for improvement."
"The platform's interface needs improvement."
"It crashes when many people login simultaneously."
"Its functionality is lacking."
"The performance and the complex setup are the main reason for switching to Qlik Sense."
