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