"MicroStrategy's solution for mobile is very good."
"It's easy to create fully-functional Dashboards."
"User-friendly look and feel."
"Oracle OBIEE is good for data visualization and analytical reporting."
"It mostly supports enterprise level data. We have millions of records on a daily basis."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is its ease of use."
"I have found the most valuable features are business intelligence and reporting."
"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."
"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."
"The graphs available for the new dashboard of version 10 are weak."
"Consolidate the functional offering to be more concise in the front-end for web reports, dashboards, and self-service."
"The UI seems klutzy with its manual entry."
"The interface you can design in MicroStrategy is great, but I feel it needs to be refreshed, add a bit more functionality. I would like to see more capabilities on the mobile side, to bring it on par with apps that you see in the App Store."
"Getting our data to work with the tool is where we are having issues."
"When we come to them with a problem, they might know more of a generalized solution, but not one targeted to our industry."
"Sometimes you can do something in reports, but you cannot do the same thing in documents."
"It needs row-level security, column-level security, on attributes. I want to be able to handle full-scale security model from the semantic layer, flat out."
"Oracle OBIEE only displays KPIs, but it does not include strategic objectives or display risk in a strategic map."
"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."
"There's a lot of redundancy, especially in relation to creating the code."
"Oracle OBIEEE's performance and licensing costs could be improved."
"The solution is too expensive for small firms."
"One feature I would definitely like to see is the ability to provide the in-memory data. Oracle might have some plugins but, as of now, that feature isn't available out-of-the-box. You might have to purchase that feature."
"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."
"The documentation in Oracle OBIEE can be more user-friendly."
