Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."A valuable feature is the speed of the solution."
"The solution can scale."
"The features that I find to be the most valuable are the BAS (Business Analytics), the Narrate feature, and the auto-visualization."
"It's great for consolidation and creating one source of truth."
"Data preparation is fantastic and fast. We were able to use multiple data sources and prepare the data quickly."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"This is a stable and scalable solution."
"Analytics Cloud allows you to merge various data types and structure data from multiple sources."
"The solution can handle a large volume of data."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"I have found the most valuable aspect is the user-friendly environment and current features."
"Unlike relational, where you're linking together multiple tables, with Essbase, you basically define what the dimensions are beforehand, and you define the hierarchy, and then load the data. This allows you to do a pretty sophisticated analysis so that you can drill into it and slice and dice the data."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is highly efficient and easily scalable, particularly for handling large databases."
"Essbase is extremely stable and low-maintenance."
"It helps us fetch specific data sets per users' requirements."
"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."
"Its machine learning and visualization capabilities can be improved. There should be more visualization options."
"It is less scalable than Snowflake."
"At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced."
"When we have, for example, a table with low performance, we have several issues with drawing some graphics in the Oracle cloud."
"Its FAW feature has limitations in terms of usage."
"It's not a failure of the product; it's just an architectural choice. It has to do with data modeling. I'm comparing this to another product, which is Oracle's developer client and probably called Oracle BI Developer Client Tool. The data modeler, which is cloud-based, and Oracle BI Developer Client Tool, which is local or on-premises-based, both can do the same thing in data modeling. However, the cloud tool does not have as many features as the Oracle BI Developer Client Tool, which is closest to the OBIEE Administration Tool with full feature data modeling, metadata development, and so forth. In a complex environment or implementation, that is the capability that you need."
"This solution could be more adaptable in its application."
"I would like to see an integration with application performance management and a version control management tool."
"They should improve the solution's performance."
"The ability to drive external reporting out for development could be improved."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"It's an expensive product to use."
"There is room for improvement in terms of cost-effectiveness."
"The initial setup is pretty complex."
"Essbase has a programming language, and it has a couple of functions to do forecasting, however, their feature set for that is not that good."
