For the license in part of Oracle, my company makes yearly payments.

Licensing costs for Oracle OBIEE can be higher, and maintenance charges may also be significant.

We have to pay for the licenses. But, if developers want to try out technology to get proof of concept, they allow them to do it. There are no additional costs, but there might be some charges for the Java feature.

I work in the manufacturing industry, and the company where I work has the license to use Oracle OBIEE.

Compared with the other products in the market, I feel Oracle OBIEE is an expensive product. I don't exactly know the cost of Oracle OBIEE because it is an area that is taken care of by the management. The charges might be based on a per-user or per-module basis.

We bought a one-time license for Oracle OBIEE, and annually pay the support fee. When it comes to pricing, it's quite expensive.

I would rate the price of this solution 2 out of 10, towards the expensive side.

There are no licensing costs attached to the solution anymore. A person only needs to pay towards the subscription costs since it is a cloud-based solution. I use the free version of Oracle OBIEE.

The company had twenty-five Oracle OBIEE licenses and never expanded. Price-wise, the solution is expensive.

I have looked at its price, but I don't remember it. I would rate it a 4 out of 5 in terms of pricing.

The price of Oracle OBIEE is expensive, it is difficult for a small business to afford.

I rate the price of Oracle OBIEE a seven out of ten.

Setup cost, pricing, and licensing for OBIEE are all geared towards more substantial enterprises. A full blown HA - Dr setup can have many moving parts.

The licensing cost is based on the number of users using it.

It is an expensive solution. We have an annual license with Oracle.

Its licensing is yearly.

They were reasonable in terms of price. I wouldn't say they were expensive. Pricing was adequate. It's comparable to the current technology we're using, Qlik Sense.

We never had any issues with the pricing of Oracle OBIEE.

The licensing cost for Oracle OBIEE is expensive. We pay an annual licensing fee, and there are no additional costs beyond the standard fees.

Always talk with a Oracle representative and negotiate a discount. I already saw 99% of discounts and a free licence once.

Some times is cheaper if you get a hardware together (helps to negotiate a discount)

In our organization, we use a user-based license for Oracle OBIEE, and I've heard that the license cost is based on the number of users. Also, I cannot comment further since I am not involved in the solution's cost-related part.

OAC has a more reasonable price point than OBIEE. OAC gives you more options and choices. It's more flexible.

It is reasonable, but it depends on how you're going to use it. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees.

This is an expensive solution and I think people tend to stop using this product as a result. Cost is a major factor in companies choosing other solutions. 

I'm not sure what the solution costs. I'm not involved with aspects of billing or contract negotiations. I don't know if we pay on a monthly or yearly basis.

Power BI is less expensive than Oracle OBIEE. A benefit to Power BI is having the option to work with concurrent licensing.

I rate the price of Oracle OBIEE a one out of five.

I think to spread this across an enterprise will be a significant investment. Be prepared to spend a lot of time and money.

For this client, the licensing requirements where initially quite simple; they knew how many users they intended to provide the reports to, so they only purchased the licenses for them. The long-term intention is to incorporate more reports and, hence, service more users within the company, but they know they can extend the licenses as and when required. In this scenario the advice is quite simple – start small and grow as you need to; there is no point buying enterprise-wide licenses until you need to.

This was not an expensive product for us, although the price varies depending on conditions for each company.

not cheap but it is worth it

I can't recall the exact pricing. There are three different categories. The pricing is available online. If you go to their website they're quoted there and they charge per hour band per day as they have different offers for their customers. If you want to know about their pricing of the particular categories, on their website their prices will be available there.

Their prices have changed from the last year. Right now I don't have any sense of price. However, I was part of the implementation team, and I noticed their pricing is not much higher but it's moderate pricing. 

If you compare Qlik Sense and Oracle OBIEE licensing, then Oracle products are much better. With Qlik Sense, you have to pay per client and per use. But we get Oracle OBIEE along with the Oracle database, making it much more cost-effective in the long term.

I don't look into the solution's pricing because the upper management looks into it.

Pricing is an area that could be improved.

Unfortunately, this is the most difficult point with OBIEE. The license is very expensive.

Negotiate hard! These products are not cheap.

There are some cheaper options in the market. We are currently planning on using another platform outside our US market due to cost. However, some platform options are not as robust as OBIEE.

Careful consideration has to be given when evaluating cost over features/performance just like any other ROI project.

There is a need for a per CPU rather than per user license for OBIEE as this impacts the number of users that can be deployed, and therefore the level of security of data throughout the system.

For enterprise BI, OBIEE is still one of the best products. Oracle does give a good discount and ensures a successful implementation.

Contact a reseller (such as Ordina) to negotiate the best price. Oracle list prices are always negotiable.

This is a very costly product.

The solution is a bit expensive for a lot of clients. Many might not have the funds available for Oracle products. Most believe it to be a costly product. Nobody has compared it to the other reporting tools, however. They might not understand the costs involved. 

Simplifying the data integration process would save our clients considerable costs. 

Our clients would be in a position to address any licensing costs. I cannot comment on the account, since we only make use of it. 

The re-licensing is a large cost proposition so we may be looking at alternatives, I think, in the next couple of years.

Every Oracle product is expensive, so OBIEE was expensive as well.

Ensure you purchase a complete enterprise package from Oracle so you can get the full benefit of OBIEE.

Being rollover customers from a previously owned company there was confusion about licensing. Talking to an Oracle rep helped.

The cost of this solution is a little bit high compared with other products like Zoho, so reducing it would make OBIEE more competitive.

The solution has a reputation for being expensive and has a confusing pricing model. There aren't extra fees on top of the main licensing costs, however.

Pricing of the training should be lowered to allow more new entrants into the the field. If the price is too high, mainly existing partners can afford it, and the market does not grow. The licensing is fair, but they should try and bundle the licensing cost as licensing as almost every component tends to hike the overall price.

Oracle products are extremely expensive. However, the version that we have is older and we no longer pay licensing fees.

Read the licensing documents carefully.

It is high.

It´s expensive.

The pricing we negotiated with Oracle. But, I do not have details.
