In terms of stability, Oracle OBIEE can occasionally encounter issues such as UI unavailability, which may require server-side fixes. However, overall, it provides a stable platform for business intelligence and analytics tasks.
It is a stable solution. But, once in a while, it needs to restart due to memory issues.

It's generally rock solid. In fact, when I used to teach people, I used to say, "Don't worry, experiment. You can't break it." It can be broken, but most people with the access that they are given are not going to break it. I would rate it a 10 out of 10 in terms of stability.

The stability of the solution depends on how much data. Right now, I don't have the scope to look into that kind of environment with a large data scale. Maybe people working in banks, like those who operate worldwide, with a lot of data, can speak on the solution's stability.

View full review »The solution is very stable. I've been involved in this product for close to 14 years now, even before Oracle acquired Siebel. The initial Siebel Analytics did some good generation of BI.
There wasn’t a lot of advancement made initially, but later the architecture changed and it was taken to the next generation with a lot of new, rich, and cool features like mobile, geo-spatial integration, and integration with new data sources. It's been great.
For stability, in the back end, you have the Oracle database. You can use In-Memory.

The solution isn't exactly stable. There are some reports, for example, in relation to email compliance or other policies that are not working as they should. We're actually migrating off of OBIEE's reports to Crystal Reports as some functionality is just not possible.

AnandGupta
AVP at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Most of the time the solution is stable but it depends on who is doing the set up configuration. A senior person will know how much memory is required, without that there might be problems. So lots of configuration files need to be optimized according to the usage. There may also be other parameters that need to be set up and if you are aware of this then the system will be stable.

VishalGoyal
Director at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
I wouldn't say it's that stable. We are using it in production and we used to have one failure per month. When we're not able to figure out the reason, we just restart the services to sort it out. That might be an environmental issue, we're not sure. It could also be a tool issue. When we approached Oracle support, we could not find out exactly what caused the instability.
There were some issues in the first few weeks with the services crashing with little or no meaningful messages in the log files, but these seemed to clear up and no issues have been encountered since. They have been put down to the developers being a little over enthusiastic with what they were trying as they were learning the product. Now they know what they are doing, all is ok.

OBIEE requires a whole ecosystem to run smoothly, it requires a stable infrastructure with minimum compute power standards, and Besides of having the right infrastructure(for the OBIEE application), the database setup (init params) is also important.
It is as stable as the knowledge the team has about the product and how to manage that,
Every project is has its own challenges, sometimes technical, sometimes acceptance, different environments , different approaches, different perceptions .

reviewer1516824
Finance Systems Analyst at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Oracle OBIEE is very stable. The only issue have is scheduling too much at the same time. It can get overloaded, and unfortunately, like most things, there are always bottlenecks.
You're actually pushing it down a tunnel in effect, and if that tunnel's not large enough, it can't cope with the load. Some of the files and some reports are a lot bigger, and OBIEE has a limited 64,000 rows of output. It's not suitable for really extracting large amounts of data.
If I wanted to extract all the transactions on a report for one particular day, then that would blow the 64,000 rows of output. This means that we have to run it separately, and we can't schedule it. It has to be a manual task, or we have to get work done by our development people to provide that report as a standard report. This can be quite difficult at times.

I rate the stability of the solution a seven out of ten. We have faced one issue with the solution. If the data is large, the dashboard takes a really long time. So, based on the database, if you have around a million cost contacts, the load time is very low, and the dashboard fails. Oracle can improve it. Even if the data set is more, the load time should be less so that the business can use it in hand and not wait for them to load.

A great feature of the solution is its stability.
In the beginning it had it's stability issues, but it became stable. It's better now. I think we are in more of a "cruising" stage in our product lifecycle.
We did hire consulting services to help us implement. Then our superusers took it from there and went to a lot of sessions and user groups to better understand.

View full review »It has been consistently stable for us, and we have not had any downtime. We haven’t pushed it that much.
View full review »Yes, but not with the tool. It’s important to decide the kind of hardware you want to run your BI installation on. If the hardware is not up to the task of handling a 100 users at a time, the BI system won’t throw alarms at you, instead the BI system gets stuck. In ideal situations, you should have a standalone server with a dedicated file system for a BI installation.
View full review »The other thing we have experienced is if the data load takes a long time, Oracle doesn't give any out-of-the-box solution to have the reports run out of a snapshot. Thus, if any data is being run/aggregated, then the report goes down. If it takes a very long time then your report goes down for even longer.
View full review »There is an issue with the handling of the cache in the BI server.
View full review »It works well. I think it was more of the implementation that we faced. Once we got the kinks worked out of it, it seems to work pretty well. The load seems to be completely maintainable.
View full review »This is definitely a stable solution.
One feedback would be that their upgrade is not as easy as other cloud solutions. You have to install the software again and migrate the repositories. That's kind of bad; that's a negative.
