"Oracle BI : Brilliant Past, Chequered Present, Hopeful Future"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Oracle Analytics Cloud?

Oracle BI (or Oracle Business Intelligence (Enterprise Edition)) has been around for years first as an analytics tool from NQuire and then packaged by Siebel and subsequently now under the Oracle platform is best known for

a) its seamless capability to report across disparate datasources,

b) its more efficient 'Report Bursting' feature from Oracle BI Publisher than other tools such as Business Objects

c) a semantic layer that is more logically structured than any other reporting tool.

d) flexible and stable security model using Weblogic services which can be clustered with other fusion middleware products also using WebLogic (versions must be compatible) as its administration platform.

e) Great integration capabilities with Siebel, Oracle Ebusiness Suite, Peoplesoft , JD Edwards and a few other market leading ERP/CRM tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Analytics Cloud?

Oracle has provided a few exciting features which are not without its own serious niggles:

a) Building Oracle BI Aggregates using Summary Advisor: This works if the service is robust but can cause serious implications if the Oracle BI service is unstable. Another problem is incrementally refreshing aggregates is a night mare because there just isn't any certified way of doing this, the only way is to drop and rebuild the OBIEE aggregates and this can take time!

b) Data-federation capabilities have been widely marketed by Oracle but it really depends upon how efficient your hardware is: to be able to federate data across disparate data sources you really need the memory on your server to be topnotch or even may have to buy another of Oracle's offerings on its range of servers.

c) Features such as joining of 'Subject Areas' in OBIEE should never have been enabled as it does defeat the whole process of kimball compliant dimensional design. Logically, how could you be absolutely certain that the detail of the information provided across the two 'subject areas' or logical collection of attributes for a certain process would be the same? If not , this feature gives unpredictable results! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle Analytics Cloud:

Consider using Oracle BI with a industry leading data migration tool such as Informatica.

Reason to suggest because this was the secret ingredient in many a Oracle BI implementation in several of my clients in the past and it still works even in my current project.

Use Oracle BI but try and refrain from using Oracle's own proprietary data migration tools such as Oracle Warehouse Builder or Oracle Data Integrator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle Analytics Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am building dimensional models from scratch using Oracle Business Intelligence Applications and using them with existing out of the box conformed dimensions to qualify the data. Of course this data needs to be brought in through ETL Informatica and brought into OBIEE business model for end user consumption.

Benefits are:

An improved level of visualisations for OBIEE reports. This has been a very positive feature as OBIEE is always considered for operational reporting rather than nice graphical features found in Qlikview. The OBIEE user interface now gives a better graphical end user experience than ever before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Oracle BI – Analytical and Executive Dashboard Solutions"

4/5

What do you like best about Oracle Analytics Cloud?

Oracle BI is a good solution for business analytics because it provides the ability to leverage and manipulate data models and create specialized, business-focused dashboards that meet user requirements. Dashboards are easy to develop, and users are pleased to have customized reports with the company’s key accounts metrics at their fingertips. Developers can dive right into the technology in order to start building BI solutions to help their organizations.

The user interface is concise and more aesthetically pleasing than some other reporting tools. The data visualizations are helpful to both financial analysts and executives, and advancements in mobility have considerably increased the popularity of Oracle BI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Analytics Cloud?

There are certain times in the OBIEE development process when I wish there was more flexibility in BI Answers and Dashboards.

Some of the limitations include:

1. Displaying graphs, tables, and prompts side by side within an analysis

2. Editing specific pieces of an analysis, such as grand totals. Conditional formatting only goes so far.

3. Easily defining different periods or member combinations for different scenarios

4. Errors could be more specific.

5. Performance issues with Essbase Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle Analytics Cloud:

If your company is looking for a BI tool with excellent dashboard capabilities and a user-friendly interface, I would recommend Oracle BI as your solution. Oracle BI is very successful and popular with hundreds of users throughout my large organization. I would contact Oracle with questions about your specific business needs and schedule a meeting and demonstration with the Oracle BI team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle Analytics Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

The capabilities of Oracle BI 11g are leveraged in many ways, including mobile deployment, by financial analysts and executives to perform reporting and analysis activities that drive critical business decisions. Dashboard solutions have been implemented across multiple business units and functional teams in a large company with over 50,000 employees. Data visualizations are used to report on business information, such as key account metrics for direct and indirect business, program analysis, variance reporting, and operating procedures. Analytical and executive dashboards have gained significant momentum over the last 3-5 years and continue to be a major driver in the organization as the capabilities are expanded and executives buy in to the solution.

"Oracle BI : Few Pros and Cons from a developer point of view"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Oracle Analytics Cloud?

The flexibility of the tool to display the data using various visual aids. Ease of drag and drop to build reports and conditional formatting, charts , graphs, pivots and multiple views is very helpful to help one in visualizing the data. The compound layout feature helps in combining these various views into a single report and add to that the view selector option which helps you see the data in different formats as per your requirement. The Dashboard feature helps in organizing the reports in a very meaningful way. Ability to link multiple other tools like Noetix and Custom Subject area creations in addition to the Oracle BI Apps.

Integration of the platform with other tools like Hyperion, BI Publisher RTD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Analytics Cloud?

Unable to download the data in a multi tabbed excel like that which was possible in Discoverer.

Reports running off as a default option while going to the view layout section.

Performance issues in the queries being fired to the database via the OBIEE server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle Analytics Cloud:

If the need is for a purely analytical reporting based on data warehouse then OBIEE would be definitely in considering the ease of use for the user to learn as well as to ramp up. But in the case of transactional reporting the queries can be huge and it would need a bit more tuning of queries and weblogic server. Oracle would need to consider some of the components of Oracle BI to be suited for transactional reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle Analytics Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Introduction of a visual reporting tool to the customer who has been using data from SQL extracts. Replacement of a legacy tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"OBIEE Product Review - "

5/5

What do you like best about Oracle Analytics Cloud?

OBIEE is a very user friendly tool. We are using OBIEE in our organization for creating dashboards for higher management for yearly analysis of finance details, enrolment details of students & calculate the load and revenue. OBIEE is one the most powerful Business Intelligence tools currently in market which has ability to create very fine, highly analytical, faster, user friendly & visually amazing dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Analytics Cloud?

Currently the product provides amazing features, however I feel when users want to use product for ad-hoc reporting there are number of challenges. Also OBIEE generates its own SQL once we create RPD and Dashboards/reports and there is not customized SQL creativity offered to the developers. Many times it’s quite easy to write your own SQL and generate what you desire. If we get these functionalities added there would not be any issues. It’s not that I dislike about this product but just that it’s a fall back I feel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle Analytics Cloud:

OBIEE is one of the most powerful Business Intelligence tools in market right now. It’s best to use it for creating reports and dashboards. Very user friendly & developer friendly, easily customizable tool with excellent view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle Analytics Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have large number of users across the university. When users want analytical data or view of the reports it really becomes difficult to get information from system, reconcile and massage the data. We are using data warehousing solutions in our organization which will not only help handle data volume and generate quality dashboards but also helps user drill down to the level desired to do yearly reviews.
