Pros & Cons summary

Oracle Reports offers customizable, managerial-level reports featuring profits, losses, and expenses. Despite being de-supported by Oracle, it remains a comprehensive solution compared to JasperReports, integrating report server and printer. OTBI enables quick report creation, though security issues may arise based on variable usage. Oracle promotes BI Publisher, despite its high licensing fee, as a replacement. Oracle lacks an easy-to-use, read-only database access tool, limiting user-friendly interactions.
