Oracle Essbase Reviews

I primarily use Essbase for planning.

The ability to drive external reporting out for development could be improved.

Essbase is extremely stable and low-maintenance.

Essbase is scalable.

Essbase is a shell, so your setup is only as complex as your reporting requirements. The actual implementation of the software is easy, it's how you use it that can be complex.

Essbase is competitively priced.

Essbase is a powerful tool that continues to provide value for companies. It's also one of the core databases that Oracle uses. I'd rate it as ten out of ten.

I'm used to integrating BitLocker with AI. With new solutions, integration for analyzing quick commerce adapters should provide businesses with customer analysis.

The solution could enhance business analytics. I delved into the data using Oracle Essbase to create a new support tool.

I have been using Oracle Essbase as an implementor.

I'm familiar with Microsoft's SQL Server and its scalability, but other solutions have emerged. MySQL is a better solution for small businesses; it's simpler and more efficient.

Oracle Essbase is a crucial tool. While expenses may not seem problematic every year.

I rate the product’s pricing an eight out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.

Oracle Essbase is a web integration system that integrates with other data systems.

Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

The solution is used for banking services and E-discovery services. 

The solution is quite scalable, which is the most useful aspect for us. 

The solution is stable and reliable. 

The features are good. We haven't found it lacking in any way.

The solution is hard to set up for new users. 

It's an expensive product to use. 

The solution is a bit complex. 

We've used the solution for five to six years. 

The stability has been fine. It's reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

It is a scalable, easy-to-expand product. If a company needs to scale up, it's no problem.

We have more than one million customers on the product right now. We do plan to increase usage as well. 

We've never reached out to technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are. 

We did previously use a different product. We used PostgreSQL. We wanted an update of features and found that open-source databases don't have the maintenance tools we required. Also, using them was risky in general. 

If you are an expert user of Oracle, you won't have any issues with the initial setup. It's easy for knowledgeable users. However, for beginners or those with no prior Oracle experience, it will be a difficult deployment. 

The process and how long it takes to deploy depend on the design of the database. For example, is the architecture centralized or distributed? In the case of centralized databases, it's easy to configure. If it is decentralized, the time and complexity depend upon how many locations you have to configure.

We have a team of six or seven people that can handle deployment tasks. 

Sometimes we do use a consultant or integrator to assist with the deployment process. 

The licensing costs are too high. The licensing costs also increase sometimes. They should offer different tiers for customers to choose from.

We use both cloud and on-premises deployments of the product.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. We've been happy with the product overall. 

We use the product in the production environment. It can be used in the government sector. We use it in a few branches in the banking sector. It can also be used in the healthcare sector in units that manufacture medicines.

The solution is scalable.

The initial setup is pretty complex.

I am using the solution currently. I am using the latest version of the solution.

The product is stable so far.

Our customers have more than 100 users. Most customers plan on increasing their usage based on the growth of their business.

The technical support is good.

The time taken for deployment depends upon the use cases. It takes a long time to deploy the tool in a large environment. It takes more than a month to deploy the tool in a small environment. To deploy the product, we consider the customers' requirements and provide them with a solution.

The customers review the solution we have designed for them. Once they approve, we start installing the product. We install the data center, hardware, connectivity, front-end, and back-end platforms like application environments. Later, the database team and experts take care of the software architecture. We need four to five technical personnel to deploy and maintain the solution.

The solution is expensive.

Users and investors calculate their ROI based on their investment plan. They know how many years it will take to get a return on their investment. I would recommend the product to others. Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

On-premises

Our primary use case for the solution is focused on big systems, and we deploy the solution on-premises.

The solution can handle a large volume of data.

The solution could be cheaper. It is costly, and the initial setup could be simplified.

We have been using the solution for approximately two years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable. Approximately 30 users are utilizing the solution in our organization, and we eventually intend to increase the usage.

I rate customer service and support a six out of ten.

Neutral

We previously used MySQL and switched to Oracle Essbase. It is scalable with many features.

The initial setup is complex.

The solution was implemented in-house.

The pricing could be cheaper.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten. The solution is good, but it could be cheaper. I recommend the solution to other users.

On-premises

Its multi-dimensionality, powerful calculation engine, aggregate storage applications are excellent features for faster calculations and response.

We are on consulting side but definitely client implemented it for are able to carry out their planning and budgeting exercise in optimize and well structure manner.

Variable attributes functionality need to be incorporated in Planning, though its available in Essabse I believe its still not in Planning.

For the last 8 years we have been implementing Essbase for various clients around globe.

Application deployment process is very easy in classic way but yes I personally found it bit difficult in EPMA way.

No. if your application design is good stability is not an issue in stable version of Hyperion

No

Customer Service: Very good.Technical Support: Very good knowledge base to look for solution or previously fixed issues and timely support by able consultants.

Yes. Initial setup and configuration is made very straightforward in latest versions compared to earlier.

Essbase is a multidimensional database (MOLAP) is undoubtedly leading in that space. It leverages its powerful computing capability and combined with relational database gives hybrid flavor. Its powerful computing capability and scalability rates overall 4.
