Pros
"It helps us fetch specific data sets per users' requirements.""The solution is stable and reliable.""I have found the most valuable aspect is the user-friendly environment and current features.""The solution is scalable.""It is highly efficient and easily scalable, particularly for handling large databases.""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 can handle a large volume of data.""Essbase is extremely stable and low-maintenance."

"The initial setup is pretty complex.""The ability to drive external reporting out for development could be improved.""I would like to see an integration with application performance management and a version control management tool.""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.""There is room for improvement in terms of cost-effectiveness.""It's an expensive product to use.""The initial setup could be simplified.""They should improve the solution's performance."

More Oracle Essbase Cons →

"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer should be easy to implement and it should have more facilities to make it better.""SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer should include more details on how everything works.""There is room for improvement with the pricing of the platform.""The areas where it currently lags are in reporting and dashboarding. The reports and dashboards are somewhat static, and we cannot create custom dashboards for specific customer needs.""The solution should add little details on the server so that an independent team could easily do the implementation.""It is capable, but I don't believe it has the right value matrix. It also depends on the budget of the company.""SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer should provide customization options allowing users to add different columns.""Technical support for this solution needs to be improved."
