The pre-built data models are great, as is rapid implementation so that you can use all of the pre-developed Oracle features rather than doing the heavy lifting.

It's web-based so that I can have multiple users accessing the same data. It provides ease of use and its formatting means we can use the data, export it to Excel, and we manipulate the data afterward if we need to.

Calculations are a little bit faster. It can do the on-the-run calculations much better than other reporting platforms. You don't need any other specific tool. You can use Microsoft Office to start doing things with these reports.

It was really unstable when it was first released on 11.1.1.7.1 back in May of 2013, but it has slowly become more stable over time.

Technical Support is not great. I do not have much to complain about, as I only had a few questions with no response.

As far as costs are concerned, as their current version of SQL Server is now on a Linux platform, it's now become something that we are starting to look at it.

The initial setup was complex and it took a lot of time to set up the infrastructure.

It is very cumbersome and slow for making any changes. It doesn't have that many visuals to show different graphs and charts. It should have more visuals. It also doesn't support HTML5, which is useful for interactive sessions and reporting with dashboard etc. We are phasing it out because we need a newer platform that provides us more flexibility and more designs. Our use case is just to get the utility type of monthly reports, and we need visuals, customizations, columns, and certain sections on the report to show performance and other things. They are not updating their BI Publisher product, which was known as XML Publisher before Oracle bought it. It could be because they don't have that many clients using it. We are using it because we have this solution for years.

The initial setup was difficult because not all the information was included in the implementation model.
