Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the reporting.""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.""I like the scheduling feature. It has an inbuilt scheduler which is very good, and it allows us to create agents, and those agents can be scheduled. It's quite flexible in that respect and goes into our IT infrastructure. The outputs are sent encrypted to various endpoints. Some are internal, and some are our clients, and it's encrypted at a high level. I do find Oracle OBIEE flexible. If there is stuff that's not in your model or schema, it's very flexible to create SQL scripts and create the data you want. It's quite nice to create a dashboard in OBIEE, and that's pretty straightforward in the way you drag and drop everything. You can create sections, and you can add elements to your page. That bit of the interface is relatively straightforward.""It's the connectors, the adapters. Built in connectors with different ERPs, you can plug in XL, other sources of data. It's very easy to configure. It's very easy to use.""They were reasonable in terms of price.""It has a lot workaround in order to do the report. data blending, and getting information from big data sources.""We have scheduled reports delivered automatically to our business users using enterprise features.""The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is the security of the solution."

"The initial setup is straightforward.""The solution’s dashboard is very good.""It provides insights into leads, information about the team and about various sales activities. The graphical representations in the form of charts is excellent.""We can create advanced-level reports with the tool. We can get data from different Zoho applications and also from other third-party applications. We can create schedules for syncing data from third parties to Zoho Analytics. We can also use table queries for getting data from more than one table.""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.""The front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful.""Scheduling of reports and dashboards is the most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics.""It's a very strong analytics tool."

Cons
"It was a little bit tedious to install a new release.""Its functionality is lacking.""The pricing of the solution should be bettered.""In the on-premises version, the feature for connecting and selecting the data between the databases looks a bit cumbersome, but I am not sure. The person who is using it takes a lot of time to design a data warehouse. When I ask him why is it taking this long, I get a response that this is something that he has to design, and there are different tools that are available. He has to write the ETL and design the warehouse according to the customer's requirement, which takes a lot of time. Its visualization should be enhanced, and there should be a feature where you can easily create your custom data warehouse.""The solution is too expensive for small firms.""The performance and the complex setup are the main reason for switching to Qlik Sense.""Essbase integration needs to be worked on.""While it is a user-friendly, data-driven tool, the data modeling should be easier to use."

More Oracle OBIEE Cons →

"It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards.""I have a lower rating when it comes to Zoho Analytics. The tool has poor performance. It needs to improve the dimensions and measures.""There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics.""The platform's pricing needs improvement.""The hourly pricing needs improvement.""The tool needs to improve analysis and add more features.""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 solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support."

    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.
