Pros and cons

Oracle is great analytical tool with great functionalities and opportunities which makes it easier to analyze data using different scenarios.
A powerful and complete BI tool, with great integration with other ERP platforms, with hybrid premise as promised and a robust mobile platform.
Great tool for financial analyses, consolidation, and financial reporting. Invest at the beginning of the project and you will benefit the most.
The architecture is very farraginous, the customer support is very poor, costs of licence and implementation are very expensive. In my OBI is a step backwards compared to other players.
Customization of the dashboards are limited, especially if different time dimensions are neccessary.
I must to modify my RPD in BI administration tool and then, load it again. It's a bit confusing for me (compared with other solutions in market).

Fantastic Visuals and Stunning Analytics

Reviewed 5 years ago

Power visual analytics for the entire organization. Users could develop their own reports, dashboards instead of relying on IT. Actionable business intelligence. Boardroom ready reports. Able to generate and analyze financial statements.

Pros

Oracle Business Intelligence is available in both on premise and cloud. It comes with in built adaptors for easy integration with various Enterprise products like SAP. It is tightly integrated with Oracle's products like Oracle EBusiness Suite, Peoplesoft, JD Edwards, Oracle Fusion Products, Hyperion etc. For faster time to value, one can purchase Oracle Business Intelligence Applications which comes...

Cons

Oracle has to improve on customer service. A service request with oracle may take long time to get resolved. Integration of the customers in house products with the oracle dataware house may be a challenge.

Oracle Business Intelligence (OBIEE) as an important product, however requiring improvements

Reviewed a year ago

Ooracle Business Intelligence meets the business needs in terms of providing the ERP data, however there are lots of confusing issues connected with OBIEE.

Pros

The most important for the business is to have quick access to OBIEE reports. With a few clicks the users might use the predefined reports and set the required filters per their needs - that's working without issues.

Cons

Business teams report constant issues and bugs to OBIEE. Reports not populating the actual data from Oracle and the reporting interface doesn't have the best user experience. Tableau or Power BI have way better analytics possibilities.

Great software for large companies

Reviewed 4 years ago

Love this product and would recommend it to other companies.

Pros

This was a brand new program introduced to my company. I loved how easy it was to learn to navigate around. It also has a endless amount of possibilites on for what it is capable of. The service desk was also amazing. They had quick response times and if they were unable to answer my question they found someone who could!

Cons

The software can be very pricey but in my opinion the ability the system has far out weighs the price of it.

Excellent reporting capabilities and polished data visualization.

Pros

The interface is easy to use and reports are very easy to schedule. The variety and quality of data visualization options add fantastic value for an already great product.

Cons

Vendor patches necessitated Java updates more often than I would expect out of the product. There were a few browser compatibility issues (though Internet Explorer worked fine).

Hyperion for Balances

Reviewed 4 years ago
Pros

Hyperion, although not a great interface, is very easy to learn and use. Typically it serves a specific purpose for users so you don't have to remember too many functions.

Cons

The interface looks outdated which therefore makes a page with many reports look disorganized/overwhelming to new users.

My favorite local BI tool

Reviewed 6 years ago

Just an easy way for users to get introduced to SQL and building queries. Very powerful for regular repeated processes that need to be run and reviewed by business users, especially ones who don't actually have SQL experiences. Only complaint is it seems that Oracle has abandoned really supporting it and promoting it as a product. Haven't seen a meaningful update in years.

Pros

Easy to use and powerful.

Cons

Needs 64-bit support--no major updates in years. Oracle just bought it and kept it steady state.

Oracle BI - Could use an update

Reviewed 4 years ago

I would recommend this system for businesses specializing in data analytics. However, I wish the interface was simpler looking, and I wish the system looked more modern.

Pros

The functionality of this software is unparalleled - it is very easy to keep data organized here through the system of folders.

Cons

This software is seriously lacking in visual appeal. When compared to similar systems, this one has the functionality of a modern one, but the look and feel of one that is ten years old. I wish the interface looked more modern and minimalistic - it is currently incredibly cluttered and at times hard to navigate.

works well but a bit slow

Reviewed 2 years ago

The software does what it needs to do and helps me easily pull film-showing stats for my reports. I just wish it could load faster. Maybe one day!

Pros

My company uses this software to track statistics of specific film showings in particular languages. It tracks plays from our app and online views of our films. It's accurate and up to date when I pull stats during the week.

Cons

My only complaint is that the platform is a bit on the slow side. When I pull stats for my reports some weeks, I find myself waiting a while and having to come back a little later to see if it loaded.

Once you have information in Oracle BI, it is the only truth.

Reviewed 5 years ago

We are able to charge fairly rates to our customers. They are happy with the reporting. We can plan better and monitor better our business.

Pros

One version of truth . Share the same information trough the company is the key to start productive meetings.

Cons

It´s sometimes hard to add new information to the models. Sometimes the changes require too much IT work (building cubes). Data Visualization solve those problems partially.

Reviewed 5 years ago

The benefit is the help in extracting information from the company for strategic purposes.

Pros

With the implementation of Oracle BI the company data can be used to obtain a competitive advantage, thanks to the extraction algorithms that apply to the database. In addition to the above, this tool offers us the power of the real information of the company and gives the opportunity to react more quickly to market changes.

Cons

It only offers open integration with the rest of the product portfolio of the ORACLE company. The cost of the investment is high, however the business tool is so efficient that the return on investment will be quick thanks to the many benefits it offers.
