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.

Has delivered visually appealing reports and improved user interaction
The integration of TIBCO Jaspersoft with some data sources has limitations that I encountered, and it was not very straightforward. This was one of the concerns with TIBCO Jaspersoft. The limitations include compatibility with some drivers where we do not have adequate JDBC drivers, and because of that, I am not able to make the connection pool. I do see a negative side in terms of support. I am a little disappointed because when we report any defect, it takes time to get a resolution. There are also limitations on some connectors where we do not have connectivity established. These are the few issues I faced while using TIBCO Jaspersoft.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ability to create our own reports."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the visualization."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is the security of the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is interactive reporting because it allows better analysis versus conventional reporting, especially on the data warehouse side."
"For me, it makes the difference is in terms of our users being able to take advantage of a product which allows you to get access to data, reports, make decisions quickly, and have better insights regarding operations."
"Both the vertical and horizontal scalability of the solution is good. In terms of scalability, I would rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The reports I prepare using TIBCO Jaspersoft are quite user-friendly, and the look and feel are much better compared to other report generation tools."
"The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."
"We find the access restrictions on different user groups valuable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...The deployment process of TIBCO Jaspersoft is easy."
"It offers high processing power for report generation and is cost-effective."
"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."
"You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards."
"The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive."
 

Cons

"The performance could improve and in a future release, they could provide more virtualization options."
"It was a little bit tedious to install a new release."
"In our organization, we feel that data visualization for APIs is an area in which the solution lacks."
"Expanding beyond pure data reporting and into analytics, or expanding data science, would be areas for improvement."
"The complexity of this product means that you need to have a technical team to develop the reports, although this is also true for products like Microsoft BI and Zoho."
"It's not so flexible to do BI reporting directly from the data source without models. It is not that agile."
"Even though we have a feature to enable the physical query to be seen in the log, in case of any issues, it is challenging to debug and see or identify where is the issue. For example, we designed the OBIEE repository and deployed it into the server, and we are now accessing and creating a report. For some reason, if the report is not working as expected, it is very difficult to identify the issue. We have a feature to see the physical query that is being generated in the central OBIEE server. I feel that this feature should have been available at the repository level so that while designing the repository, we can select the presentation columns and the query it is going to create. This will avoid the additional task of deploying a feature into the server and then testing the report. It will also make the implementation process friendly if, while designing the repository, we can see: How is a feature working? Are any of the presentation columns selected? How is the query being generated? Which query is being generated? Are any joints used? What kind of joints are used? Having this kind of information will make Oracle OBIEE more powerful and developer-friendly."
"They should develop greater visualization because their visualization isn't industry leading at the moment. The way you pull the data and see the data compared to other platforms, they're lagging a little bit behind. Also, their cost. I've got Oracle account managers trying to persuade me every day to purchase these licenses. Once you purchase OBIEE, then you have to purchase the virtualization and then you have to purchase the mobile license to operate on the mobile. It's really expensive."
"The integration of TIBCO Jaspersoft with some data sources has limitations that I encountered, and it was not very straightforward."
"Customization is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement."
"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."
"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."
"Jaspersoft should focus on user interaction features, and one should not expect it to suit every niche."
"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."
"We'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing."
"Currently, JSON format is the main format we use, however, in TIBCO Jaspersoft, XML format is the default and JSON did not work because TIBCO did not fix it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Simplifying the data integration process would save our clients considerable costs."
"It is high."
"There are no additional costs, but there might be some charges for the Java feature."
"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."
"I think to spread this across an enterprise will be a significant investment."
"Be prepared to spend a lot of time and money."
"The price of Oracle OBIEE is expensive, it is difficult for a small business to afford."
"This was not an expensive product for us, although the price varies depending on conditions for each company."
"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."
"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."
"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."

Jaspersoft vs. Pentaho – Which one to use & is there any need to purchase the commercial edition
Any company (be it technology, manfucaturing, human resource, ecommerce, SME etc) always has the need for Business Intelligence to some or the other extent. If cost is one of the consideration factor, then the 2 BI tools which are at the forefront are Pentaho and Jaspersoft. But, often the same…
