Oracle OBIEE Reviews

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.

Oracle OBIEE can be used for reporting. It also gets used for some analytics-related work, like dashboard reports and subject areas. Additionally, the solution's bursting options, scheduling and sending reports across while having some dashboards created on the reports on the subject area.

The solution's performance and the bursting options when you generate the reports, after which you want to burst it based on criteria, are two valuable features of the solution.

The documentation in Oracle OBIEE can be more user-friendly. Oracle should include more videos rather than simple text. Also, adding some examples will help users with quick learning.

I have four years of experience with Oracle OBIEE. Since we use cloud services, it is the latest version of the solution we use in our organization.

In terms of stability, I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. However, there have been occasional issues with the reports crashing, although this happens rarely.

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. More than 300 employees in our organization are using Oracle OBIEE.

Once we work on implementing dashboard reports, the user base will likely increase.

The solution's initial setup is a bit complex. However, since it's only a one-time thing, it shouldn't be an issue.

The solution's deployment is something we do manually in our company. We were wondering if there is a tool for automated deployment.

For the solution's deployment and maintenance, we need three resources, including the deployment team in our organization. So, we don't need a manager for this.

The solution's implementation process was carried out by an integrator who helped us.

In our organization, we implemented it a year and a half ago, and I can say that the ROI is not that great. So, we are still trying to stabilize the system and improve it.

In our organization, we use a user-based license for Oracle OBIEE, and I've heard that the license cost is based on the number of users. Also, I cannot comment further since I am not involved in the solution's cost-related part.

Since we use Oracle, we have implemented ERP and then Oracle ERP Procurement Cloud, which is a cloud software. We also have a cloud database, including OCI infrastructure.

I can recommend the solution to others. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Oracle OBIEE is used for developing reports.

The most valuable features of Oracle OBIEE are ease of use, the graphical user interface is simple to understand, and the reports can be done without problems. There are many tutorials and training materials available if needed.

There are times we have slowness when processing the reports with Oracle OBIEE. Improving the performance would be beneficial.

I have been using Oracle OBIEE for approximately one year.

When doing a report the solutions are limited to these rows. There is a limitation of approximately 1,000 for the rows. 

I rate the scalability of Oracle OBIEE an eight out of ten.

When using the support from Oracle OBIEE they provide us with video tutorials that are helpful.

If we do not pay for the support then we have to use Google to search for a solution for our issues.

I rate the initial setup of Oracle OBIEE an eight out of ten.

We used the vendor to help us with the deployment of the solution. We used two to three people for the deployment.

I rate Oracle OBIEE an eight out of ten.

Our primary use case is for getting reports.

It is very useful for doing your reports, and invoices, with great integration of other systems.

I have found the most valuable features are business intelligence and reporting.

The main problem we face is migrating all of the reports into the solution.

I have been using Oracle OBIEE for the past year.

There is high stability with this solution.

The initial setup was straightforward.

We have seen a return on investment.

Many people are using Microsoft Power BI because they are competitive, and Oracle OBIEE is more expensive.

I would rate Oracle OBIEE an eight on a scale of one to ten.

We are using Oracle OBIEE for creating interactive dashboards and reports.

The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is the security of the solution.

Oracle OBIEE can improve the ease of use. It is a lot to learn and it could be made easier.

I have been using Oracle OBIEE for approximately five years.

Oracle OBIEE is a stable enough solution.

Throughout the versions we have used of Oracle OBIEE, they have been scalable.

We have more than 20 people using the solution. We have plans to increase usage in the future.

The support is good from Oracle OBIEE.

I rate the support from Oracle OBIEE a four out of five.

Positive

I have previously used Microsoft Power BI. I have used different solutions due to the company's requirements I worked.

The initial setup of Oracle OBIEE is straightforward. Once it is deployed then we can add other modules. The installation process took approximately two hours.

The implementation of Oracle OBIEE can be done in-house. If the company implementing the solution is not experienced then a consultant can be used.

We have multiple technical staff working on Oracle OBIEE. However, the exact number is based on the needs of the project. In our previous project, we had three to four technical staff that was needed; in the current project, we have more than 20.

The licensing cost is based on the number of users using it.

I would recommend the solution to others.

I rate Oracle OBIEE a nine out of ten.

We use this solution for pulling data analytics from our source systems through the enterprise data warehouse provided by Oracle. We also use it to provide dashboard solutions for analytics and operations for the businesses from various departments; operational, finance, marketing, sales, legal, everyone. We are partners with Oracle.

This solution is very easy for people who are building ad-hoc things. It's an enterprise solution so it can be deployed for a lot of users. There are some great new features that come with the 12c like data visualization, desktop BI Publisher, automation and interactive dashboards. The product has good features. 

This solution needs a better security management system and I think there is room for improvement in terms of giving access to people in a more effective way. I'd like to see additional features and performance can be improved too. 

I've been using this solution for 10 years. 

There are no issues with day-to-day activities so it's pretty stable. The new versions have improved and even with a lot of people logging in, it's solid. 

The solution is made for enterprise companies and is scalable.

When we have issues that need Oracle support we reach out to them. The response is sometimes very slow but better at other times. It's a mixed bag even though we have dedicated support. We recently did an upgrade and that went smoothly. 

OBIEE is definitely for enterprise customers. If you have a big user base of say 500,000, then this is the kind of solution you'd want to have. I would definitely advise people to go for the latest version rather than install an old version and then try to do an out-of-the-place upgrade. 

There's room for improvement so I rate OBIEE seven out of 10.

Oracle OBIEE is useful for data solutions.

The solution is user-friendly.

Oracle OBIEEE's performance and licensing costs could be improved.

The solution is stable. I rate it an eight out of ten.

The solution is scalable. Currently, we have ten users. We plan to increase the usage by next year. Overall, I rate the scalability an eight out of ten.

The initial setup is straightforward.

I implemented the solution in-house.

There is a Return on Investment.

The licensing cost for Oracle OBIEE is expensive. We pay an annual licensing fee, and there are no additional costs beyond the standard fees.

Oracle is a globally recognized company, and its products are considered satisfactory. You can't go wrong with Oracle products. I rate the product an eight out of ten. 

Oracle OBIEE is the company's primary workhorse for financial and HR reporting. It is used globally for the company. Everyone uses it for those purposes. The cloud version is also used for account acquisition.

It serves its purpose. It doesn't have many frills and is definitely older technology, but it is undeniably a workhorse.

Rigidity and speed are areas that could be improved. Everything has to move quickly in today's world, especially in the data world. Everyone wants it right now.

Having a system is great, and when you code it correctly, it can get the job done. However, a modern solution takes a long time; it moves much slower than some other things. You have products such as Tableau, and there are other data science tools out there churning through just as much data. Obviously, that element is not intended to be a data science tool in and of itself. It's more of a reporting tool than anything else. Expanding beyond pure data reporting and into analytics, or expanding data science, would be areas for improvement.

I have been working with Oracle OBIEE for seven years.

We keep it fairly up to date. We would be using the most recent version or perhaps one back.

We have an on-premises system as well as a cloud system in our environment.

If it's coded correctly, it can be very reliable.

Oracle OBIEE is very stable, it is very dependable.

Oracle OBIEE is scalable, we are using it on a global level.

Given the size and scope of how we use it, every change requires significant effort, some of which is internal. It is managed by our IT department. To make large-scale changes and integrate new systems, I believe a small army is required. The heavy lifting is done once they're all set up, and once they're in there and running, the actual maintenance and minor tweaks are fairly simple. This requires a much smaller skeleton crew.

I was not a part of the initial setup.

I believe it will be about how well the tool they choose fits their company, their company culture, and how scalable it is.  Oracle OBIEE is fantastic, but it is intended to be used in the enterprise. It is meant to be a large-scale workhorse. As a result, make sure it's the right tool for your business.

In comparison to other things we have out there in the grand scheme of things, I would say six or seven. I would rate Oracle OBIEE a seven out of ten.
