It's easy to manipulate and to create new dashboards.
Because Oracle products are development frameworks, your final results are as good as the people who implemented it. Make sure that your implementation team is the best it could be, at least for the first implementation. If something is implemented incorrectly at the start, it'll cost you a lot more to fix than to build a new system from scratch. Sometimes it can be so badly designed that it is impossible to fix. I've been working on implementation for 20 years and I have seen bad implementations everywhere. In fact, I have seen the same tools implemented in the same team by two different people, with one being a success and the other a failure. In the same company, one department says that the tool does not work for them and another says that the tool is the best. The only difference was the implementer. Make sure you get a good team to implement it. The tool has its flaws, but most of time (99%) it is the implementer's fault that you have a bad or slow model.

A stable data analytics solution that needs some improvement with scalability and data visualization
We use it as an HR system and as a recruitment system. But we don't use it for anything else. We don't use it for our workforce planning. Just the For HR, and recruitment. I primarily use the solution for data analytics. So I could have managed to get used to the business processes and extract data…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of the solution are the various scenarios the product offers and its stability."
"Oracle OBIEE is good for data visualization and analytical reporting."
"It's easy to use for business analysts."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE, for me, would be the Web Catalog. From a development perspective, I do not need any client or any software to be installed on my laptop or desktop. Everything is browser-based, so I just open the browser and start development."
"Inter Process Communication."
"It's easy to create fully-functional Dashboards."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to run it in Exalytics within memory coupled to a Repository on Exadata is where it flies. So it's not meant for mom and pop shops, but if you are a global 500 fortune 1000 company, this is a tool that can get you what you need on time and even in real time."
"Feature-wise, I feel that the solution's stability is good."
 

Cons

"I would like to see Machine Learning included in this solution."
"It is not a good product for data visualization."
"OBIEE doesn't have audit logs."
"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."
"There are a lot of aspects of Oracle OBIEE that are exceptionally complicated, make things unnecessarily difficult for everyone who uses it. In terms of the integrations, Oracle needs to improve a little more, but I believe that they have tried to capture all those issues. The issues we are facing in the Oracle OBIEE 12C versions, in the Oracle Analytical Server Center or Analytical Cloud versions, Oracle has managed to overcome the challenges."
"Particularly on the Cloud, a lot of functionality has yet to be ported."
"It needs a better security management system."
"Implementation is cumbersome and requires expertise."
"It is not a very scalable product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Be prepared to spend a lot of time and money."
"The cost of this solution is a little bit high compared with other products like Zoho, so reducing it would make OBIEE more competitive."
"Simplifying the data integration process would save our clients considerable costs."
"This was not an expensive product for us, although the price varies depending on conditions for each company."
"The licensing cost for Oracle OBIEE is expensive."
"For the license in part of Oracle, my company makes yearly payments."
"It is high."
"It's expensive."
"I do not know of the licensing cost, but there are additional costs like 5,00,000 for recruitment modules."
