Oracle OBIEE Reviews

It has a lot workaround in order to do the report. data blending, and getting information from big data sources.

It allows us to control inventory and warehouse management (by using the features listed in the previous answer).

Supply chain and finance.

10 years.

Yes, in the previous release of the administration tool, there were a lot of issues, and compatibility issues that didn't work with OBIEE.

No, I can scale out horizontally and vertically.

Seven out of 10. There is not much technical support. Sometimes, I have to find the solution myself.

This is a pretty cool, enterprise BI tool. If you can, do a drill back against Oracle EBS.

We have an enterprise type of environment, where we have 80 applications. We are using OBIEE for our data reporting.

Oracle OBIEE improves our day-to-day, but it is not a very user-friendly tool, according to some of our users. In my opinion it is very user-friendly.

There is an enterprise type of repository; you can make changes in the repository and it will affect the whole application. Other tools don't have a combined repository.

From a business perspective, it's not user-friendly.

No stability issues.

I think it is scalable. Whenever we have a new patch or update, the old functions are also available after applying it.

I have not used tech support.

It's a good tool, but its overall organization as an analytical tool, the layout of OBIEE, is not very good.

I would rate it a seven out of 10, overall. OBIEE doesn't have audit logs. Also because, in our own organization each department gets its user own ID, in OBIEE if we provide rights to them, they are the administrators of OBIEE. That means there is no distinguishing between user management and administration.

The best features are the dashboard and the analytics. The report generation is very fast.

At the organizational level, it's pretty secure. The security is the best part. We use OBIEE with QlikView as a composition of that, so that both of these applications support each other.

I think for ease of use, right now, OBIEE is a nice tool. Business users can use the reports nicely, but with a lot of the new reports, some IT guys are still required. If they could make that easier, because the business users don't understand the SQLs. If that could be some kind of GUI drag and drop for those fields, it would be quite awesome.

We haven’t had any issues with downtime. It’s quite good.

It's quite a heavy tool, and can be scaled to any level.

Support is good.

Actually, we have all sorts of Oracle applications in our stack. We use SQL.

Use OBIEE if you have large data to process for heavy duty applications. If you are using it for a small to mid-sized company, OBIEE doesn't make much sense. It is for large enterprises.

• Charts
• Navigation
• Drill Downs
• Variables especially- session variables
• Maps

For building charts and graphical representations, we don't have to do much work, so in that area it's good.

Customers are expecting many out of box things, which, currently, OBIEE doesn't support. e.g. customers are expecting pop up boxes with messages, and navigation. There are lots of buttons for navigating, downloading and invoking etc. Just like in the current version of OBIEE, we are dragging sections, text boxes in building the dashboard, in the same way as we can get pop up boxes, and buttons, we don't need to write Javascripts. In the market, we are getting many additional tools.

I've been using this product for the past three years. As I'm working as an OBIEE Developer, I am using this tool most of the time.

There were no big issues.

Average. Their guys are taking much time in resolving issues. They might be experts, but still there is lot of lag in delivering good support.

In terms of features, everything is good. It is also stable and scalable.

It is complex for designing RPD, and it can be simpler. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time.

I have been using this solution for eight or nine years.

It is stable. We didn't have any issues.

It is scalable.

I have contacted them, and they are generally good, but sometimes, we get a late response.

I would recommend this solution to others. I would rate Oracle OBIEE an eight out of ten.
