Scripting is a great feature as is the ability to export almost anything
Scripting is a good feature if you have programming and scripting skills. It can be used without those skills but I think it's difficult to integrate them in PRISM. The best thing is that you can export almost anything whether it's graphics or data and you can change dates on the fly.

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

"You can export almost anything whether it's graphics or data."
"Oracle OBIEE is good for data visualization and analytical reporting."
"Integration-wise, it's good."
"The most valuable feature is the user-friendly set of tools that the customer can use to develop their own business dashboards."
"It can be used with any type of data models, such as relational lines and dimensional lines."
"Easy to create ad hoc reporting for different solutions."
"They were reasonable in terms of price."
"Can utilize SQL queries to generate reports directly."
"They are introducing AI. There are good forecasting features and machine learning."
 

Cons

"Graphics are limited and could be improved."
"Managing the OB applications requires a high level of experience, and makes the solution quite heavy."
"It was a little bit tedious to install a new release."
"It crashes when many people login simultaneously."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Microsoft Office."
"From the point of view of strategic management, I would like to have a feature, perhaps a form after we get to the KPI dashboard, to be used to note if something unusual happens in the operations. That way we could record extreme KPI situations, and track why a number is very low or too high."
"There's a lot of redundancy, especially in relation to creating the code."
"I would like to see enhancements in tracking, debugging, and flexibility."
"It needs a better security management system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Power BI is less expensive than Oracle OBIEE. A benefit to Power BI is having the option to work with concurrent licensing."
"It is reasonable, but it depends on how you're going to use it. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Its licensing is yearly."
"The licensing cost is based on the number of users using it."
"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."
"It is high."
"It's expensive."
"I would rate it a 4 out of 5 in terms of pricing."
