We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The security is good. For example, we can implement column-level security.""The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is it's designed for Oracle. It works well in the Oracle environment and can sit on top of any application.""I have not personally used any such products related to this service, however based on the popular opinion, Microsoft Power BI is more popular. We have never switched from this software due to infrastructure and license related costs. However, my team acknowledges that the Power BI is much more enhanced and includes features that are easier to use, including its drag and drop features. I am not sure, if OBIEE has these features, due to lack of updated versions.""The main features of this solution are that it is easy to use, intuitive, and user-friendly. When I retrieve the data from the database it is in a very raw form, then when I use the Oracle Report Builder it has advanced intelligence features to allow me to view and make changes to the data easily.""The solution is easy to use and very flexible.""They are introducing AI. There are good forecasting features and machine learning.""A great feature of the solution is its stability.""It provides excellent stability."

"It provides insights into leads, information about the team and about various sales activities. The graphical representations in the form of charts is excellent.""The data source is the most valuable feature as it can perform any function.""The integration interface is very easy to use and allows you to directly connect to a variety of APIs.""The most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics is its connectivity with ERP systems and the functionality to set up different fields for leads.""We use the solution for financial and sales analytics. It brings data from our IT incident management tool. Hence, we have three business use cases for IT support, sales and financials.""Ask Zia is a great feature that I use to quickly decide what improvements I need to make in order to present the data that I want to show.""Scheduling of reports and dashboards is the most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics.""Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."

Cons
"From the point of view of strategic management, I would like to have a feature, perhaps a form after we get to the KPI dashboard, to be used to note if something unusual happens in the operations. That way we could record extreme KPI situations, and track why a number is very low or too high.""I find I prefer Oracle OAC over OBIEE. It's more advanced, has artificial intelligence, and there's more that we can do with it in general. OBIEE is lacking features.""Its functionality is lacking.""This solution is weak in the data science perspective. I have past data science experience. And, I find that there is a lot of room for improvement in terms of incorporating more advanced statistical modeling into the product.""Oracle OBIEE only displays KPIs, but it does not include strategic objectives or display risk in a strategic map.""The ability to migrate from one version to another, such as doing so from version 11 to an upgraded 12 of Oracle business environment, can be difficult.""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.""The solution needs to be easier to scale."

More Oracle OBIEE Cons →

"The solution's tasks and project management tools are weaker than those of its competitors.""The tool needs to improve analysis and add more features.""The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support.""In terms of improvement, they have a limited number of graphs available in their store. They should come up with more graph style forms. They should have more charts and at the same time, you can't create panels like with Microsoft BA.""It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards.""A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved.""I like the solution's Query Table feature which helps me write SQL queries. We can get data from different tables and then use it to create reports.""The navigation on the interface is not intuitive."

    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."



    Zoho Reports is a powerful, easy-to-use and highly scalable cloud-based reporting and business intelligence platform for small to medium-sized businesses. Its flexible pay-as-you-go pricing model and scope for customization allow businesses to tailor it to their unique needs.
