Has seamless data filtering and visualization for client satisfaction
One area for improvement is the cost, as it's a bit expensive. The caching mechanism also charges too much if I need to cache any data. Sometimes it takes time to display data, suggesting a need for enhancement in data visualization speed. Additionally, the role-level security is challenging to implement, and it could be improved to allow access control per department more easily.
VishnuReddy - PeerSpot reviewer
Handles large datasets and easy to interact with and handle but performance could be better
Oracle's technical support usually recommends to upgrade when you contact them for support. They don't focus on fixing the issue at hand or providing guidance on how to do it. If you are in a lower environment, like one version down, they will blindly suggest upgrading. Additional patches are given for other Oracle products like WebLogic, databases, and apps. They fix issues and create patches based on client needs. But from an OBIEE point of view, they mostly provide bundle patches of around 5 to 6 GB that need to be applied and tested end-to-end. It's not an easy way to get small patches, and if issues arise after applying the patches, you have to contact Oracle again.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable."
"Amazon QuickSight has introduced a new functionality called Q bar, which allows the user to do natural language queries and get additional insights using some built-in generative capabilities."
"I like that with Amazon QuickSight, you don't need to install an app to use its services. With other BI tools, you need to install the app, so Amazon QuickSight is better for me in this area."
"It helped the managers to visualize the data activities."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
"The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface."
"The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."
"For me, it makes the difference is in terms of our users being able to take advantage of a product which allows you to get access to data, reports, make decisions quickly, and have better insights regarding operations."
"They are introducing AI. There are good forecasting features and machine learning."
"It's easy to use for business analysts."
"It is easy to use...I rate the scalability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"We have scheduled reports delivered automatically to our business users using enterprise features."
"It's the connectors, the adapters. Built in connectors with different ERPs, you can plug in XL, other sources of data. It's very easy to configure. It's very easy to use."
"I like that Oracle OBIEE comes with more options. For example, more options with data security, user security, and other security. It's more complicated than Microsoft, but it gives you more options. They also added the part for machine learning, which is good."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
 

Cons

"QuickSight needs to add more visuals similar to what Power BI offers."
"One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards."
"The product is quite expensive because the price is too close to QlikView's prices but it does not ring as well as QlikView."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available."
"Amazon QuickSight has minimal features. The feature set can be improved to allow you to create good production-ready dashboards. This does not happen with QuickSite, it needs to mature to be used in production."
"It should support integration with Python or R."
"One area is that integrating data from different sources into QuickSight can be a bit tricky, especially with Amazon Connect. To get data flowing, you need to use two additional services and configure them correctly."
"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"I would like to see Machine Learning included in this solution."
"The platform's data visualization features need improvement."
"It needs a better security management system."
"We were not satisfied with the support, because we could not obtain answers or solutions."
"Particularly on the Cloud, a lot of functionality has yet to be ported."
"It should have more self-service capabilities."
"In our organization, we feel that data visualization for APIs is an area in which the solution lacks."
"We needed some technical expertise during setup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product pricing is better than other vendors."
"The pricing is cost-effective with a good plan."
"It is simpler and cheaper than other solutions."
"A highly affordable cost structure with fixed membership and timeframe basis options."
"I'm using a paid version of Amazon QuickSight, paying about $22 monthly. As I have yet to learn about the pricing for other tools, such as Power BI, I won't be able to compare."
"The solution is not affordable."
"The solution's pricing is cheaper than the other products in the market."
"I rate the price of Amazon QuickSight a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Pricing is an area that could be improved."
"The price of Oracle OBIEE is expensive, it is difficult for a small business to afford."
"If you compare Qlik Sense and Oracle OBIEE licensing, then Oracle products are much better. With Qlik Sense, you have to pay per client and per use. But we get Oracle OBIEE along with the Oracle database, making it much more cost-effective in the long term."
"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."
"There are no additional costs, but there might be some charges for the Java feature."
"All products from Oracle are very pricey."
"The pricing we negotiated with Oracle. But, I do not have details."
