Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service Reviews

Our company uses the solution for business intelligence and reporting.

We have all Oracle products and single identity access management for our OUD and ERP applications. We recently upgraded from Oracle Business Intelligence to Oracle Analytics Server. 

We are design specialists for ODA and business intelligence. Customers care about reports, design, models, and data from different sources. We take care of everything for customers including integrations or issues. 

For example, we handle report issues such as weird fonts, missing columns, and memory issues where customers cannot generate reports. When customers alert us, we open cases with Oracle and download logs or configurations so the support team can help us to resolve issues. 

We have 600 users who connect to our application to see their reports. All of our reports are integrated with our single sign-on application. A customer gives us their requirements and we grant them access to their custom report only. 

We run the solution on-premises. We don't have a cloud infrastructure but our servers have a special VM cloud. In the future, we might bring in Oracle cloud. 

The configuration, customization, and migration are very good.

It is easy to maintain the patch level for security and vulnerabilities. 

The solution effectively integrates with third-party products. 

We are using this intelligence for management reporting and analysis. We have certain KPIs and dashboards derived from Oracle Cloud Analytics. We also use OBIA for reporting and analytics with transactional data from our back office. It runs through our on-premise version, and we use it to report analysis purposes, create KPIs, dashboards, and more.

The most valuable features are user-friendly and self-service tools. Users can define their reports based on available data sets, with multiple dimensions and slide and dice data capabilities. 

No technical expertise is needed to generate reports once the data model and dimensions are configured. Users can easily create their reports and dashboards, enhancing the end-user experience.

It is the front end for an enterprise data warehouse for a retail organization. It is used by executives for KPI monitoring and by financial analysts for more detailed financial analytics. They are using it in the project management office for the project and program monitoring. 

Its ease of use and the ability to drill down into detail are the most valuable. Executive dashboarding features are the most commonly used ones. 

My primary use case was producing reporting and analytics on other applications hosted in the Oracle Cloud.

This solution allowed us to consolidate information from the finance and supply chain systems into aggregate reporting, which had been very difficult to create in the past.
