Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Provides seamless integration between browser-based BI and Mobile BI."
"We prefer having the analytic capabilities in a single platform, like MicroStrategy provides, because it is easier. The customer gets used to one type of tool, then sticks with it."
"It is a good tool to help our customers visually see loads of data."
"It offers us a lot of out-of-the-box tools, which give us the ability to automate a lot of our administrative tasks. Some things become menial: user creation, restarting a server at 10 o'clock on a Friday - simple things that they really give you the tools to be able to do. That's one thing I really like about the MicroStrategy platform from an administrative perspective."
"The drill-down functionality is also very good."
"Visual Insights (VI)"
"MicroStrategy has powerful data security features, which are crucial these days. For example, when users view data in MicroStrategy, they're only allowed to see a portion based on the permissions. When we evaluated other solutions like Power BI or Tableau, we found the security is very poor. They can't help us secure access to the data."
"It has had a direct impact on bottomline improvements."
"The main features of this solution are that it is easy to use, intuitive, and user-friendly. When I retrieve the data from the database it is in a very raw form, then when I use the Oracle Report Builder it has advanced intelligence features to allow me to view and make changes to the data easily."
"Can utilize SQL queries to generate reports directly."
"I like the scheduling feature. It has an inbuilt scheduler which is very good, and it allows us to create agents, and those agents can be scheduled. It's quite flexible in that respect and goes into our IT infrastructure. The outputs are sent encrypted to various endpoints. Some are internal, and some are our clients, and it's encrypted at a high level. I do find Oracle OBIEE flexible. If there is stuff that's not in your model or schema, it's very flexible to create SQL scripts and create the data you want. It's quite nice to create a dashboard in OBIEE, and that's pretty straightforward in the way you drag and drop everything. You can create sections, and you can add elements to your page. That bit of the interface is relatively straightforward."
"I like the cloud deployment feature. There are about 20 new features, and they are available on mobile and more. I haven't used any of them, but these features are highly attractive."
"I think having the conformed structures makes it a lot easier for end users and pulling reports together."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to set up the automated delivery of reports."
"The most valuable feature is the user-friendly set of tools that the customer can use to develop their own business dashboards."
"We do you use Oracle support. We've been paying for an Oracle support subscription for four or five years, and not one ticket has ever been logged. When I came in, I've encouraged the team to ask Oracle questions. They do get back quite quickly. Their support is good. Working with our account managers, if I need to escalate anything, I can speak to them and they escalate the call. I've got that ecosystem working quite well. That does work for us."
"Another feature to consider in the future would be adding some additional offline capabilities without using desktops."
"They need to improve on having more professional, well-equipped premium support."
"I would like to see a single standalone application to control everything from the administration perspective, and also to develop new applications."
"The areas that have room for improvement in MicroStrategy are mainly related to building additional tools. Specifically, the embedding process has been a bit of a struggle."
"The In-Memory Capability (cubes) needs a lot of improvement."
"There are some challenges in our organization on how we store the data."
"The product could be improved by adding additional visualization."
"We haven't invested in the mobile platform. We want to invest, but the problem is the security. We are in the health domain, so we have PHI data."
"Expanding beyond pure data reporting and into analytics, or expanding data science, would be areas for improvement."
"It's not so flexible to do BI reporting directly from the data source without models. It is not that agile."
"For a beginner, this is a product that is difficult to learn. You cannot learn it quickly."
"Oracle OBIEE could improve the visualizations, such as diagrams, charts, and graphical user interface. Other tools on the market have better graphical visualizations this Oracle OBIEE."
"Customer service/technical support gets five out of 10. Sometimes good, sometimes bad."
"The performance and the complex setup are the main reason for switching to Qlik Sense."
"I would like to see the data wrangling features enhanced."
"It was a little bit tedious to install a new release."
