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.

Easy to use with a nice design and good connectivity
TIBCO Jaspersoft has two versions. Version one is the enterprise version, The other one is the community version, and which allows us to use it for free. In the free version, we have to support ourselves. For the enterprise version, you have technical support if you need it. I wish that we had more support while in the portal, at least for the community version, or if we could talk to someone regarding issues, like how to configure or fine-tune would be helpful. We'd like to have help on how to solve some problems when we use the product and have some error or limitation. They need to, at the very least, improve the community. The Enterprise Edition has support, and we can force some tickets through the portal and then have an engineer support us in some cases. However, in terms of the subscription price, it's a bit high. Therefore, we'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Oracle OBIEE is good for data visualization and analytical reporting."
"The solution offers a wide range of software tools to meet various needs, such as those concerning reports, developer solutions like APEX and the integration of data."
"Its robustness is most valuable. It can handle massive amounts of data quickly. If it's properly configured and tuned, it can handle massive amounts of data very quickly to produce results. That to me is the number one feature."
"It provides excellent stability."
"The solution is easy to use and very flexible."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is its ability to handle large volumes of data and provide traditional BI functionalities that developers can easily understand."
"It can be used with any type of data models, such as relational lines and dimensional lines."
"We can set any property dynamically."
"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."
"The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive."
"You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards."
"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."
"It offers high processing power for report generation and is cost-effective."
"The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."
"With the online view, it's easier to create Ad Hoc reports. It has inbuilt reports so we can easily get data from the system and customize the fields."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to be easier to scale."
"If the data is large, the dashboard takes a really long time. So, based on the database, if you have around a million cost contacts, the load time is very low, and the dashboard fails."
"Supply chain and finance."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Microsoft Office."
"They should make the dashboard more intuitive."
"They should develop greater visualization because their visualization isn't industry leading at the moment. The way you pull the data and see the data compared to other platforms, they're lagging a little bit behind. Also, their cost. I've got Oracle account managers trying to persuade me every day to purchase these licenses. Once you purchase OBIEE, then you have to purchase the virtualization and then you have to purchase the mobile license to operate on the mobile. It's really expensive."
"There are times we have slowness when processing the reports with Oracle OBIEE. Improving the performance would be beneficial."
"In our organization, we feel that data visualization for APIs is an area in which the solution lacks."
"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."
"There might be some compatibility issues with the dashboard if we're using the latest version and some clients are using the older version. Some features might not be supported."
"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."
"The reporting templates have room for improvement."
"I would like to see better support for big data."
"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."
"The upgrades are not easy."
"Currently, JSON format is the main format we use, however, in TIBCO Jaspersoft, XML format is the default and JSON did not work because TIBCO did not fix it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost is based on the number of users using it."
"There are no additional costs, but there might be some charges for the Java feature."
"Oracle products are extremely expensive."
"The licensing cost for Oracle OBIEE is expensive."
"This is a very costly product."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Simplifying the data integration process would save our clients considerable costs."
"It's comparable to the current technology we're using, Qlik Sense."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."
"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."
"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."
"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."
"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."
