Microsoft Power BI and Oracle OBIEE compete in the business intelligence category. Power BI seems to have the upper hand in ease of integration, cost-effectiveness, and user experience, while OBIEE excels in handling complex datasets and scalability for large enterprises.
Features: Microsoft Power BI offers strong data visualization, seamless integration with Microsoft products, and a user-friendly interface for agile decision-making. Oracle OBIEE is known for its robustness with complex datasets, enterprise-level analytics, and extensive reporting capabilities suitable for large environments.
Room for Improvement: Microsoft Power BI could improve mobile support, expand visualization options, and simplify the licensing model. Oracle OBIEE needs to enhance user interactivity, simplify deployment, and reduce licensing costs to appeal to smaller businesses.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Microsoft Power BI is flexible in deployment across clouds, supported by a large online community but needs better direct support services. Oracle OBIEE, though offering cloud options, is complex to deploy. Its customer service is personalized but expensive and complex.
Pricing and ROI: Microsoft Power BI provides a free version and competitive pricing attractive to small businesses, with substantial ROI, especially for Microsoft product users. Oracle OBIEE is more costly, appealing to large organizations that require detailed analytics and can afford the investment, achieving strong ROI in complex environments.

Reviews from Real Users
Sandeep V., Process System Engineer at a comms service provider, tells us, “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. “
A user who is a CEO at a consultancy relates, “The most valuable feature is the visualization. The data warehousing, data storage, and data wrangling are all features that are in there, and it's one of the better products out there. A good thing is that for large datasets, it's very stable, especially when you have an Oracle database.”
A user who is a Principal Business Intelligence Architect at a computer software company suggests, "It is very biased towards Oracle infrastructure. One of the major red flags we have at the moment against Oracle is that it doesn't support deployment on other cloud providers. We're quite heavily vested in AWS as our infrastructure, and Oracle is yet to formally support deploying on those virtual infrastructure instances. That's quite disappointing, and it also cuts them out of over 70% of the market."
