"When reviewing and interpreting data, I typically examine it in a tabular form to understand its structure. However, when explaining or presenting the findings to others, I often use visualization tools such as Plotly. These tools allow me to create visual representations of datasets.""The level of interactivity that the product provides is valuable to me.""It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."

Cons
"In terms of tech support, we have our own technicians. But, we did register for their help. When we register a call, it takes time for them to respond to us.""Particularly on the Cloud, a lot of functionality has yet to be ported.""When a large number of queries are running at the same time, the report fails.""The drawback with the tool is that though it is well-created, its users are under-trained to use it.""There are a lot of aspects of Oracle OBIEE that are exceptionally complicated, make things unnecessarily difficult for everyone who uses it. In terms of the integrations, Oracle needs to improve a little more, but I believe that they have tried to capture all those issues. The issues we are facing in the Oracle OBIEE 12C versions, in the Oracle Analytical Server Center or Analytical Cloud versions, Oracle has managed to overcome the challenges.""Its functionality is lacking.""Managing the OB applications requires a high level of experience, and makes the solution quite heavy.""We were not satisfied with the support, because we could not obtain answers or solutions."

More Oracle OBIEE Cons →

"The tool needs to improve its pie charts. Regarding Plotly, I find the online documentation somewhat challenging to navigate, especially when dealing with many parameters. Searching through thousands of parameters can be a tedious and less straightforward process. While the documentation is available online and serves its purpose, I often encounter difficulties in finding the information.""I believe that the prices of the tool's paid services could be on the premium side, so the pricing model can be considered for improvement.""The solution cannot be deployed on the website and shared with others through its own platform."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Sandeep V., Process System Engineer at a comms service provider, tells us, “This solution is very easy for people who are building ad-hoc things. It's an enterprise solution so it can be deployed for a lot of users. There are some great new features that come with the 12c like data visualization, desktop BI Publisher, automation, and interactive dashboards. The product has good features. “ 

    A user who is a CEO at a consultancy relates, “The most valuable feature is the visualization. The data warehousing, data storage, and data wrangling are all features that are in there, and it's one of the better products out there. A good thing is that for large datasets, it's very stable, especially when you have an Oracle database.”

    A user who is a Principal Business Intelligence Architect at a computer software company suggests, "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."



    Plotly creates leading open source tools for composing, editing, and sharing interactive data visualization via the Web.

    Our collaboration servers (available in cloud or on premises) allow data scientists to showcase their work, make graphs without coding, and collaborate with business analysts, designers, executives, and clients.
