Though comprehensive, it is expensive
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.

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."
"It's easy to create fully-functional Dashboards."
"A great feature of the solution is its stability."
"The solution has great reporting and forecasting capabilities."
"The “Business Model & Mapping” layer in the Administration Tool, because the maintenance and evolution processes are greatly facilitated."
"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."
"It mostly supports enterprise level data. We have millions of records on a daily basis."
"The performance can issue queries to work in the Oracle database in Oracle's native language. There are a lot of visualizations which suit our business."
"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."
"The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."
"The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive."
"We can set any property dynamically."
"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."
"It's easy to use and maintain."
"You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards."
"The designer is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The main problem we face is migrating all of the reports into the solution."
"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."
"The platform's interface needs improvement."
"I find I prefer Oracle OAC over OBIEE. It's more advanced, has artificial intelligence, and there's more that we can do with it in general. OBIEE is lacking features."
"This solution is weak in the data science perspective. I have past data science experience. And, I find that there is a lot of room for improvement in terms of incorporating more advanced statistical modeling into the product."
"I would rate its current performance as a five out of ten because a lot of features are missed out in OBIEE."
"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."
"It's not so flexible to do BI reporting directly from the data source without models. It is not that agile."
"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."
"The reporting templates have room for improvement."
"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."
"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."
"The upgrades are not easy."
"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."
"There might be some compatibility issues with the dashboard if we're using the latest version and some clients are using the older version. Some features might not be supported."
"TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's comparable to the current technology we're using, Qlik Sense."
"There are no additional costs, but there might be some charges for the Java feature."
"Oracle products are extremely expensive."
"It is high."
"I think to spread this across an enterprise will be a significant investment."
"For the license in part of Oracle, my company makes yearly payments."
"It's expensive."
"Pricing is an area that could be improved."
"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."
"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."
"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."
