Oracle OBIEE Reviews

I have worked on multiple Oracle OBIEE projects for banking systems. Most of the reports I have developed have been focused on credit risk management. Additionally, I have supported multiple projects for Equifax, which involved working on credit scores for individuals and clients.

The best features in Oracle OBIEE include improved visualizations, look and feel, and user-friendliness, particularly in OAC, which is the extended version in cloud where DV has been introduced. We can burst reports out in multiple languages to multiple sources.

I have worked with interactive dashboards in Oracle OBIEE. These dashboards have helped my reporting processes overall. We connect to the database from the RPD and prepare a data model in the BMM layer. After implementing all business logics in the BMM layer, we create a presentation layer and pull and create reports based on requirements. Those reports are placed on the dashboards. In most of the projects I have worked on, I have placed all summary reports on the front pages and implemented navigation from the summary reports to hidden dashboards to display reports with more detailed data.

Ad hoc queries in Oracle OBIEE have helped improve decision-making processes. In most projects, we finalize requirements and receive ad hoc requests as well. When ad hoc requests come in, they are considered as development work. If changes are required in an existing report, a new ticket is created as an enhancement. Ad hoc queries follow the same procedure where we develop and discuss with the client, and once we get sign-off, the work moves to the production environment.

I assess the value of Oracle OBIEE's real-time analytics in gaining operational insights as both operational and technical strengths.

Regarding the predictive analytics feature in Oracle OBIEE, the core implementation method is RTD, Real-Time Decisions. The server combines business rules with predictive analytics to provide real-time recommendations and adaptive decision management within Oracle OBIEE dashboards.

My thoughts on the integration capabilities of Oracle OBIEE are that there are key integration categories to consider. With heterogeneous data sources, we can connect to multiple data sources and integrate and import data from sources including OLAP cubes, Essbase, flat files, and big data. The enterprise application integration category features seamless implementation with SSO and row-level security synchronizations, and we can perform drill-backs. Oracle OBIEE can be integrated with Hyperion as well, and multiple programmatic APIs can be integrated.

The main benefits of Oracle OBIEE include helping in taking decisions based on report results. The primary enterprise benefits include unified semantic layers. Oracle OBIEE's core strength is its common enterprise information model, which is the RPD, where we implement business logic. It abstracts complex physical data into a simplified business model, ensuring all departments use consistent definitions of key metrics.

Performance-related issues are a concern, as in multiple reports I have seen, some reports were poorly performing. We can focus on implementation of performance so that reports are delivered within seconds. The user interface and self-service experience can be improved through modernization of the UI, addressing self-service limitations, and integrating with mobile. Technical and administrative complexities can also be addressed.

Complexities such as system configuration require attention. In the initial setup of Oracle OBIEE, there are multiple things starting from infrastructure provisioning, database schemas, and WebLogic server installations. However, the RPD, the semantic layer, is the steepest hurdle. Security integration, integrating with LDAP or Active Directory, is rarely plug and play and requires deep knowledge of WebLogic. Deep knowledge is necessary when starting with the initial setup of Oracle OBIEE. Other dependencies include Java middleware and client tools. Since Oracle OBIEE deals with huge data, report performance is the biggest concern. The out-of-the-box setup is rarely optimized, so we need to manually check configuration files, such as nqsconfig.ini file settings.

For recommendations in Oracle OBIEE, from what I have seen, we work with star schemas in the RPD. I always aim for the star schema in the business model, even if the physical source is normalized. This approach will impact the performance, speed of the data, and accuracy. Oracle OBIEE could improve to allow other schemas as well. Performance is a major area for improvement, and they should work on aggregating the persistence and improve the persistence wizard where we implement aggregations. Caching features have been given, including event polling tables where we can do purging and seeding, but the main focus should be with respect to schema designs.

I have been working with Oracle OBIEE for around 15 years.

When evaluating cost, Tableau and Power BI are less costly compared to Oracle OBIEE, which is an important consideration when assessing cost-effectiveness and return on investment.

Regarding key differences, both pros and cons of Oracle OBIEE in comparison to Tableau, Power BI, and other BI products I have used, the main difference is with respect to visualization. Oracle OBIEE reports are less user-friendly. Tableau reports are very fast compared to Oracle OBIEE, from what I have observed. Power BI is best for Microsoft ecosystems from a cost perspective. Tableau has advanced visualizations and analytics. Visualizations in Tableau and Power BI are better than in Oracle OBIEE. Oracle OBIEE is suitable for large-scale governed enterprise reporting. Power BI and Tableau are easy to learn, whereas Oracle OBIEE requires high technical knowledge, particularly in implementing or developing the RPD. The data performance in Power BI is not as good as compared to Tableau and Oracle OBIEE. Regarding cost, Oracle OBIEE is the highest among these three.

Negative

I have used Oracle OBIEE for a single banking client, but that bank has been merged into another bank, and I took care of the technical part of the merger. To be more specific, more than a bank, it was a mortgage company. All the banking reporting was done through Oracle OBIEE. Oracle OBIEE was already with the customer for whom I was working. The customer I was working for was Oracle's clients.

The solution's most valuable feature is that it is a very comprehensive tool. Oracle OBIEE is a really robust tool for a very large enterprise implementation. Its features in terms of physical data model to logical data model building are all really robust. Though somebody else had developed the tool for the client for whom I used the tool, it was very well done. The data modeling was very well done, and it depends on the person who is executing it, as I hadn't developed it. I had just enhanced it. I had seen whatever my role was, but somebody had initially developed it. It was developed very well. It has a fantastic feature of documenting. When you work with many clients, you see the documentation is always missing, and you end up taking up some other vendor's job. It is usually very hard to figure out technically what was done, what was not done, and where the data is, so the data dictionaries are not up to date, and information documentation is always very poor. Oracle OBIEE has a built-in feature where you can actually create entire documentation of all the data elements and how they are linked, and it throws out HTML documents that are all interlinked, so if you have an entire directory structure, it helps create the document. You can find out which logical model links to which physical table, and it is very easy to identify. There are multiple combinations if you want to identify one particular table and how many models are involved. You just need to click a hyperlink click, and it gives you all the information. If somebody has made any enhancements, you can just regenerate the document as there is a component of the tool that generates the documentation automatically, which is brilliant, I think.

The tool's downside is that it is very expensive, making it an area where improvements are needed.

I have been using Oracle OBIEE for years. I am a MSSP of the tool.

It is a very stable solution.

It is a super scalable solution.

The solution's technical support is a mixed bag, where sometimes it is good, and sometimes it depends on the person you encounter. I have spoken to some smart people from Oracle. Recently, in my experience with Informatica, I felt a bunch of guys to whom I spoke were jokers despite the fact that the company falls under the Fortune 500 umbrella. Informatica's quality of support does not consist of very smart people. Informatica is a very tool-focused company, not business-focused. My company is business-focused.

I rate the technical support a seven out of ten.

Neutral

I have a side business where I take up projects for my customers. It depends on the environment in which the customers operate. I do consulting work for my customers. I am particularly in the data space, so I work on any platform. I take up data-related tasks. I have one project related to Amazon, which has already taken off, and I am just going to get involved in it. My partners have taken it up to some stage, and I am going to be getting involved with it, but it is on Amazon Cloud. With Amazon, what has happened is because we are partners, they have given us quite a lot of AWS Cloud for free. I don't know how much dollars it is worth. The product that is developed for the insurance industry was built with Amazon's platform because we got a lot of free credits from Amazon. I will explore some areas using AI because now everybody is jumping onto such a bandwagon. I want to explore the possibility of enhancing my skills in AI.

I have been largely using Microsoft Power BI. Microsoft Power BI is preferred by me and it is easier to use. My choice of database is always SQL Server, as it is easy to use. SQL Server and Microsoft Power BI work hand in hand.

I haven't really explored MongoDB and PostgreSQL. I even worked on some Oracle Database and Oracle OBIEE.

There was a software-managed company that provided managed services on servers that installed the tool.

All products from Oracle are very pricey. Microsoft always works out to be a cheaper tool. If you have anything that you do with Microsoft, then price-wise, it is very competitive. Microsoft Power BI licenses are available for 100 USD per user.

For this customer who had the tool, it was reaching the end of the line phase for them. The choice was to go for an updated version or move to a new platform. When my company did the cost-benefit analysis and considered the client's requirements, we saw that it was too big a software for them. They just had 1,400,000,000 USD worth, and it didn't make sense to have Oracle OBIEE. SQL and Power BI combination was actually bringing down the costs and making it ten to fifteen times cheaper than Oracle OBIEE for my customer. I don't know. There was a software-managed company that provided managed services on servers and all those.

The tool is not very easy to integrate with other tools because it is a very version[-sensitive product. The version we had should have compatibility with the drivers we use, so it is very specific to certain ODBC drivers of certain versions on which it will work, making it a challenge for me to connect to my SQL servers. I eventually did it, but it was a struggle because there are always some compatibility issues with Oracle versions, ODBC versions, and OBIEE versions. You have to get the right versions of the drivers.

I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

It's mainly used in the banking sector. It handles very large datasets and prints extensive reports. We recommend it for that purpose, utilizing features like OBIEE Publisher reports, analytical reports, and others available in OBIEE.

We work with clients who are mostly using Oracle Analytical Services and Oracle Analytical Cloud. We are able to fulfill their requirements, but in some scenarios, we inform them that out-of-box support is not present for certain features.

It handles large datasets irrespective of performance concerns. Other smaller tools in the market, like Power BI, Microsoft tools, SAP BO, ETC., are not able to handle large data. OBIEE has performance issues, but clients are happy with its stability and want some improvements.

I would rate its current performance as a five out of ten because a lot of features are missed out in OBIEE. Nowadays, many smaller tools in the market have more features. 

For example, in OBIEE, if you have more than three million records in a report, they are not visible in the report itself. Secondly, you cannot export more than one million records. 

These feature-based problems affect many clients in Vietnam, Brazil, Sandel, and India. Indian clients choose alternative tools alongside OBIEE. So, they can improve the performance and add some new features. It's a good product otherwise.

I would generally recommend Oracle OBIEE to bigger companies. I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. 

Oracle's technical support usually recommends to upgrade when you contact them for support. They don't focus on fixing the issue at hand or providing guidance on how to do it. 

If you are in a lower environment, like one version down, they will blindly suggest upgrading. 

Additional patches are given for other Oracle products like WebLogic, databases, and apps. They fix issues and create patches based on client needs. But from an OBIEE point of view, they mostly provide bundle patches of around 5 to 6 GB that need to be applied and tested end-to-end. 

It's not an easy way to get small patches, and if issues arise after applying the patches, you have to contact Oracle again.

Neutral

None of my clients has chosen Power BIyet. They mostly take Oracle Business Analytics Suite (OBIA), so they are going with OBIEE.

Nowadays, other tools cover everything as well. OBIEE requires WebLogic, so an additional license needs to be purchased. It only supports Oracle databases for installation, which is mandatory. With other tools like Power BI, you can plug in various tools and do the installation.

Integration-wise, it's good with Snowflake, Teradata, and other data sources. It is easy to integrate. But regarding AI, they have introduced some features, like big data, but there are still issues with dragging connections and some feasibility issues.

Some reports are tied to OBIEE, as per Indian RBI or US federal guidelines, which makes it mandatory to use. So, it's not that we cannot use OBIEE. But there is a tie-up, meaning the report templates are built by Oracle, and we have to use them. 

Smaller tools don't have ready-made templates, so building them takes a lot of time. Therefore, we go with OBIEE due to the time constraints.

The pricing is costly compared to other modules. Clients often find it expensive, and the support as well.

Overall, the product is easy to interact with and handle. End users are happy to make small changes. However, it's not as flexible as tools like Power BI and ClickView, which offer drag-and-drop functionality and are easier for users familiar with Excel.

Overall, I would rate it a seven out of ten. I refer to Oracle Analytics Server because that's what my clients use right now. My other product is Oracle Business Analytics Suite (OBIA). Since some out-of-box reports come with OBIA, I cannot go with Power BI or Qlik Sense because they don't have the option to utilize the standard RPD and catalog. We would have to build everything custom.

For a small bank or entity that doesn't want to spend that much, we recommend smaller tools. Even small banks with less revenue are not able to invest that much money in tools and support implementation. In that scenario, they have to go with smaller tools.

In our BAE project, we use Oracle OBIEE as our internal reporting tool. It helps us generate reports and dashboards for various departments and subject areas within our organization. We rely on OBIEE to access, analyze, and share insights from our data sources.

The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is its ability to handle large volumes of data and provide traditional BI functionalities that developers can easily understand. I appreciate how it allows me to view and analyze backend queries, which is helpful for debugging and troubleshooting. 

In terms of improvement, I would like to see enhancements in tracking, debugging, and flexibility. Additionally, features like exposing apps as services and generating PowerPoint presentations directly from reports could be beneficial. While OBIEE offers similar features to Power BI, there may be some functions that haven't been explored fully due to a lack of knowledge or ease of access compared to Power BI. 

I have been working with Oracle OBIEE for almost five years.

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.

Oracle OBIEE is scalable, with options for regional deployment and accommodating different infrastructure sizes, such as shade one setups. It offers scalability to meet varying business needs.

While Power BI may offer more visualization features, OBIEE excels in providing detailed query information and a straightforward backend-to-frontend analysis approach. However, Power BI's ability to hold data in the service or report itself for refresh control is a handy feature that OBIEE lacks. Overall, both tools have their strengths and it depends on the specific needs of the project.

Setting up Oracle OBIEE can be challenging due to the complexity of installation and maintenance tasks, such as managing multiple product tables and configurations. Debugging issues and upgrades also require SME knowledge and can be time-consuming. Maintenance tasks are simpler, and upgrades are typically smoother.

The initial deployment of Oracle OBIEE can take some time due to the need to configure the setup and manage multiple developers working on the same file. However, its multi-user development concept allows for collaborative work and submission of changes, albeit with some integration and deployment complexities.

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

In my daily development work, I use Oracle OBIEE for end-to-end reporting and analytics tasks. We start by building a detailed process and then create a model in OBIEE called RPD modeling, which handles complex data modeling and joins. We organize different subject areas into one layer called the RPD modeling layer, making it easier to manage. This allows us to create mappings based on business requirements and expose them as services. OBIEE also offers features like in-wheel drive and phone integration, providing users with a seamless interface for accessing data and insights.

Using Oracle OBIEE, I have noticed improvements in data virtualization and dashboard creation. While OBIEE offers visualization features, Power BI has more and is more flexible. However, OBIEE's recent updates have made its visualization capabilities more competitive.

Oracle OBIEE's ad hoc query capabilities have been incredibly useful for business analysis. I can easily access the model and create custom analyses based on the repository, exploring different features and attributes. It allows me to save my analyses locally and schedule automated email reports using OBIEE agents, similar to what I can do in Power BI. 

Oracle OBIEE's integration capabilities are strong, allowing integration with various apps like ETL tools and databases. However, compared to Power BI, it is a bit less flexible when it comes to working with files directly. Power BI makes it easier to drag and drop files and work with different extensions. While OBIEE supports file integration, it may not be as seamless as in Power BI.

I would recommend Oracle OBIEE based on the specific requirements of the user. If extensive customization and integration are needed, OBIEE can be a good fit. However, for a more user-friendly and flexible option, especially with emerging NextGen tools, I would lean towards Power BI. The recommendation would vary depending on the individual case, but Power BI is often preferred for its ease of use and flexibility.

Overall, I would rate Oracle OBIEE as a seven out of ten.

I use the solution in my company to deal with areas like data warehousing, dashboards, KPIs, reporting, and dimension types.

There are a lot of functions in the product, including a drill-down functionality and level-based hierarchies that are very attractive. Though the tool offers a parent-child hierarchy, I use level-based hierarchies as they have very good functionality. The tool offers a good option known as action links to help with the linking of reports and to deal with master-detail reports. If you want to see the sales from the last year, the previous month, the previous quarter, or a day ago, the tool is helpful with the very good functionalities it offers. In the area of ML, functionalities like forecasting and other features should work properly.

I have witnessed some new features in Oracle OBIEE 12c related to functions like forecasting, clustering, outliers, and trends, despite the fact that such functions are difficult to use in the tool. It would have been easier to use such functionalities on Oracle Analytics Cloud. In Oracle OBIEE, users should be able to use the tool easily with the help of drag-and-drop functionalities. Though Oracle OBIEE might be helpful from a technical perspective, it is not a user-friendly product for business users, especially for those who are not aware of technical syntax.

Forecasting, trends, outliers, and other features should work like a drag-and-drop functionality since such functionalities are currently difficult to use.

The graphical representation and the alignment of the report should be very easy. The settings related to the properties of graphs, like lines and height, are areas where there are some difficulties, which can be hectic for the technical and business users of the solution, making it an area that should be made easy by Oracle.

The features that are available on OAC should be made available in Oracle OBIEE in future releases.

Oracle OBIEE should work to make areas like configuration settings and deployment easy for users. I have worked in an industry for six to seven years using Oracle OBIEE, where I have seen how the management was not happy with the product and wanted to go with some other tool. I had to convince my previous management that there are many good features in Oracle OBIEE and that it is important to use products related to Oracle, like OAC, and not opt for tools like Power BI. If you use Oracle products and Oracle Database, then it is important to try Oracle Analytics.

From an improvement perspective, the technical team should be able to provide more accurate answers by taking into consideration the context of the issues faced by users. The support team also needs to provide resolutions faster.

I have been using Oracle OBIEE for five to six years.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Around 20 to 50 people in my company used to use the product.

I had raised some very difficult queries in the past with Oracle's technical support team to get some solutions.

The queries that I raised with Oracle's support team were related to Oracle OBIA and Oracle OBIEE. Though I had raised a lot of queries and SRs, there was always a delay in responses from the support team's end. Basically, Oracle's support team took a lot of time to solve my queries since I remember creating and raising a lot of SRs.

I rate the technical support a three out of ten.

Negative

I rate the product's initial setup phase a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup process, and ten is an easy setup process. If you talk about Oracle Cloud Analytics, I rate the product's initial setup phase a seven or eight out of ten.

The solution is deployed on the cloud. I have used OAC in the past, but for my current project, I use Microsoft Azure. Within two or three months, I will be back to using OAC.

Oracle OBIEE's configuration settings and deployment areas are much more difficult than those of products like OAC and Power BI.

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.

I recommend the solution to those who plan to use it, especially if Oracle enhances its functionalities and offers good support along with better features.

I rate the overall product a six out of ten.

Integration capabilities with other data sources or systems are on par with other tools for integration. 

It can integrate multiple sources of data and databases, accommodating them within the RPD. Moreover, Oracle is building some advanced analytics capabilities in OBIEE, like predictive analysis.

The data security in OBIEE is superior to other reporting and visualization tools. 

Additionally, the complexity that OBIEE can handle in the form of RPD is unmatched. I haven't found this level of complexity in other reporting tools, especially when dealing with complex calculations that are not readily available in the reporting layer. In OBIEE, you can do it in RPD. 

So, the two standout features are data security and the ability to handle complexity.

Oracle OBIEE is lagging in data visualization. In the form of Data Visualization Desktop (DVD), it has achieved some things, but other visualizing tools like Tableau and Power BI are somewhat ahead. However, Oracle is catching up. 

Data Visualization is one initiative that is closing the gap, but there's still a need for improvement.

Data visualization is the only area I can see right now that needs realignment.

I have a total of fifteen years of experience.

It's good. Pretty stable.

It's pretty much scalable if the modeling is done properly. I've worked with all kinds of organizations, including large ones, but most of them were medium to large. I haven't seen small or niche businesses using OBIEE.

Compared to other licensed tools, OBIEE requires more technical support because it handles greater complexity. So it's a relative figure. But in comparison to other tools, it requires more technical books.

Positive

I've been working in OBIEE as an implementer for 15 years. For newcomers, it used to be difficult, but for me, it has somewhere between easy and medium complexity.

So because you have a lot of experience in Oracle OBIEE, it is easier for you. But for newcomers, it's kind of difficult.

Deployment model:

Initially, it was on-premises, but now they are releasing new cloud-based tools like Rapid and Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC). Traditional OBIEE was on-premises.

Deployment doesn't take more than a few hours.

I'm an implementer.

If someone is looking for enterprise-level reporting. But if they just want more complex features on the database and only need visualization, they can use other reporting tools. If they want to build something more robust and complex, then I would recommend OBIEE.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We mainly use Oracle OBIEE mainly for business purposes, which include analysis and intelligence-based decision making.

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 pricing of the solution should be bettered. 

I have been using Oracle OBIEE for the past 7 years, but the version I am using is not the latest in the market.

I've never encountered any downtime issues with Oracle OBIEE. It's been working smoothly, and it's quite reliable. I would rate it 8 out of 10. 

Scaling the product is not difficult and I would rate it 8 out of 10.

The experience is mixed, since it is sometimes helpful and sometimes, it is challenging. In our business, we act as intermediaries between users and supports and this has led to huge issue on our part. We've created several SRs seeking help, but in some cases, there's been no response or resolution from Oracle. However, please note that we haven’t used them for OBIEE product specifically.

Neutral

In my opinion, Ooracle has better documentation for installation, however, in our case, migration is a difficult challenge which involves lots of arrangements and importing and exporting of large amount of data. Even though I am not a technical person, I believe that upgrading on-premises requires creating a new installation, while on the cloud, it's simpler. I'm not exactly sure about the process, but these are the discussions I've had with my team.

Around five to six key individuals, mainly senior executives like CFO, CIO, and CEO, use Oracle OBIEE in our team. We handle maintenance internally and don't rely on third parties for troubleshooting or deployment.

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.

To recommend Oracle OBIEE overall is a challenging task. I haven’t explored its multiple versions, including cloud ones. In my experience, on-prem solutions have little support from Oracle. But in my personal opinion and based on my experience, I would surely recommend it if the users understand the product. It is relatively easy to implement. During the initial implementation, there were features we weren't aware of, but as we progressed and encountered new cases and business modules, we were able to implement them smoothly.

I would rate it 7 out of 10.

With Oracle OBIEE, business intelligence can be used in any kind of technology you have. A person always wants to see parts like visualizations and intelligence when it comes to what an application can do, the workflow, and everything related to the application, not in Excel sheets, letters, or reports. The reports will be visualized, so it will be easier to connect to any area of any application while also overlaying all your applications. With Oracle OBIEE, you can proceed with overlaying your applications. Oracle OBIEE helps you make the right decision to help achieve accurate results with all the scenarios the product offers for your applications.

The most valuable features of the solution are the various scenarios the product offers and its stability. Oracle Financial Services Risk Management is a useful area in Oracle OBIEE.

Oracle OBIEE is a product that is not easy to implement. The product is also not easy to use. The aforementioned details about the solution can be considered for improvement.

I have been using Oracle OBIEE for eight years. My company sells the solution.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight to nine out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight to nine out of ten.

When it comes to those who have enterprise accounts and have purchased a subscription for advanced customer support, it is possible to get the best customer service from Oracle.

The time for the setup phase of the solution depends on the client and how big the project is, along with another factor, which is the partner who will be a part of the implementation phase of the product.

The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud.

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.

I recommend the solution to those who plan to use it. I also recommend Microsoft Power BI to others as an alternative to Oracle OBIEE. Microsoft Power BI is very powerful and very easy to use, making it easy for anyone to implement it.

I rate the overall solution an eight to nine out of ten.

Regarding the use cases for the solution, I would like to say that we are a global company providing services related to analytics to 1,00,000 users, hundreds of institutions and libraries, specifically university libraries. So, we provide our services worldwide.

Currently, we are in the process of getting to know about database visualization and understanding its benefits for users. Our goal is to spread awareness about its capabilities among our customers, enabling them to access self-service BI and other valuable features. Additionally, we are exploring the use and relation of machine learning in database visualization, an area of focus for our team.

In our organization, we feel that data visualization for APIs is an area in which the solution lacks. So, API in data visualization could be better. Also, some other features that are available on the cloud are not yet available on the server. In short, some cloud features should be available on-premises on a server. Other areas include scheduling reports with digital visualization, which are missing the solution.

I have been using Oracle OBIEE for almost ten years now. Also, I am using the solution's latest version.

It is a stable product. Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight and a half out of ten.

It is a scalable product. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten. We have around 20,000 people in our organization using the solution. Also, we plan to increase the number of users using the solution in our organization.

Usually, we do receive timely responses from Oracle's technical support team. At times, the complexity of a certain problem may cause the technical support to take a long time to get to the root cause.

The solution's initial setup was straightforward.

The deployment process for the solution takes time since we have many users. But because we have been doing it for a while, we're getting to more and more users while improving our learning curve. Basically, the deployment process is not that complicated.

We're doing fine with the deployment process even though it takes time for us to train its users to give them the ability to understand what they're doing, what to do and how to do certain things on the solution.

For the deployment and maintenance of the solution, we have about six to seven people, consisting of engineers and developers, in our organization.

We have an Oracle consultant who helps with the implementation part. Moreover, we are also comfortable doing the implementation process with the help of our in-house staff.

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

I would tell those planning to use the solution that with a good server in place, it is an easily accessible solution. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
