Facing a complex learning curve challenges, automation capabilities provide some clerical work savings
Oracle OBIEE has a steep learning curve compared to tools like SQL Server or Power BI. In situations where complex problem-solving is required, Oracle's support tends to direct users to sales representatives with limited technical knowledge, which is less than ideal. Additionally, the solution is more expensive than using Microsoft's reporting tools.

A customizable solution that helps to pull reports and send them as emails
We were manually populating things but the tool has helped us automate the process. We could pull the report automatically and send it as an email.  The tool is customizable, and it is not limited to any feature that it is built upon. You can do anything that you would like to do.  You need to…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I think having the conformed structures makes it a lot easier for end users and pulling reports together."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is the security of the solution."
"We can see almost-real-time performance in our operations. When there is a problem, it is easy to escalate it to top management and the time for management to make a decision about it is much shorter than it would be using a manual process."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is interactive reporting because it allows better analysis versus conventional reporting, especially on the data warehouse side."
"It has a lot workaround in order to do the report. data blending, and getting information from big data sources."
"The most valuable feature is the visualization."
"The solution offers a wide range of software tools to meet various needs, such as those concerning reports, developer solutions like APEX and the integration of data."
"The “Business Model & Mapping” layer in the Administration Tool, because the maintenance and evolution processes are greatly facilitated."
"We were manually populating things but the tool has helped us automate the process. We could pull the report automatically and send it as an email."
 

Cons

"It should have more self-service capabilities."
"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."
"An area for improvement is that Oracle pushes more users to Oracle BI Publisher rather than emphasizing Oracle OBIEE for reporting. The pricing for Oracle OBIEE could be improved."
"I would like to see Machine Learning included in this solution."
"The main problem we face is migrating all of the reports into the solution."
"There's a lot of redundancy, especially in relation to creating the code."
"The tool's downside is that it is very expensive, making it an area where improvements are needed."
"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."
"You need to put queries manually. When you customize, you need to put queries manually."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This was not an expensive product for us, although the price varies depending on conditions for each company."
"For the license in part of Oracle, my company makes yearly payments."
"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."
"Power BI is less expensive than Oracle OBIEE. A benefit to Power BI is having the option to work with concurrent licensing."
"It is high."
"Its licensing is yearly."
"Oracle products are extremely expensive."
"All products from Oracle are very pricey."
