If it's more than one subject area, it's better to create a BI Publisher report instead. Pros I like that it's easy to create ad hoc analysis report using Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence report using drag and drop feature. You'll need to know which subject area to use and it's important to validate the data against the front end of the user interface as well before you fully rely on the data from the ad hoc analysis report you create. Cons The ad hoc analysis report in Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence is not as user friendly when it comes to combining data from multiple subject areas. Oracle specialists suggest to use Business Intelligence Publisher report instead when combining data from multiple subject areas or consider using Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse.

Pros Oracle Business Intelligence is available in both on premise and cloud. It comes with in built adaptors for easy integration with various Enterprise products like SAP.

Stunning and smart visualizations. Improved user experience. Secure sharing and collaboration.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Oracle Business Intelligence and Visualisation Expert Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Oracle BI EE" December 4, 2018 4.0 Pros The product has evolved quite nicely with the customer demands and the developing technologies. From a designer and administrator point of view, the key benefits are the variety of components available for different tasks, e.g. BIPublisher, Data-visualization-desktop, Agents, Action framework and Interactive dashboards. There is a rich visualization library and the option to integrate with third party libraries as well. Cons When compared with other BI tools, OBIEE requires a significant infrastructure and detailed planning to implement and manage over time. That is true for the on-premise version. Not necessarily for the Cloud version, which is much more quick to setup and use. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Business Intelligence Analyst & Developer Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "i stress-tested this software to understand its peculiarities to sell it to customers" April 10, 2018 4.0 It is easy to analyze the reports thanks to its ability to show the large amount of data in an attractive way Pros Integrates completely with the rest of the oracle suite, excellent possibility to automate schedules for notifications and static reporting (by sending them via email). Relatively easy to create data clouds, and model them. Beautiful dashboards, interactive and easy to customize. It is easy to administer the permissions and to create access groups for consulting the analysis Cons High initial cost, but turns into an excellent investment. Requires training sessions to be used independently (especially on the back end developer side that user, front end). The language used to connect all data sources is not very easy, not suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. It isn't as good as QlikView how about upgrade, OBI it is not easy to update. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Business Intelligence Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Oracle BI publisher to OBIEE" March 5, 2019 4.0 I do not recommend Oracle BI publisher. OBIEE is a better option option. But still its capabilities are limited. Oracle needs to improve its Customer support services. Pros I started with Oracle BI Publisher and migrated the project to OBIEE in Oracle Cloud. For Oracle BI publisher i used MS word. I am happy with OBIEE which is easy to use and got much more features than Oracle BI publisher. OBIEE dashboards and reports are easy to create and schedule. Cons Oracle BI publisher does not have any advanced features. OBIEE should improve the data modeling and security capabilities. Oracle cloud is not stable and we received emails about the server unavailability the last minute. Customer service is not good, it takes a long time to respond to the tickets. Oracle provided specialists to help us but for whatever questions we asked they just shared some links from oracle website. The tool is pricey. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Human Resources Systems Analyst Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Oracle Business Intelligence " May 15, 2018 5.0 Excellent reporting capabilities and polished data visualization. Pros The interface is easy to use and reports are very easy to schedule. The variety and quality of data visualization options add fantastic value for an already great product. Cons Vendor patches necessitated Java updates more often than I would expect out of the product. There were a few browser compatibility issues (though Internet Explorer worked fine). Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Oracle E-Business Suite Support - Supervisor (Finance) Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Flexible, Robust, Value for money but a bit laggy" November 12, 2019 4.0 As a BI solution, it is pretty decent, considering the more expensive options. Oracle's main draw has always been it's flexibility, and this solution is no different from its other products in that aspect. You get what you pay for. Pros Out of the box, it is all ready for use. It's role-based so is pretty secure. It's flexible/extensible. It is pretty intuitive. Cons It sometimes lags a bit, the user interface is not as slick, and looks a bit dated.

" June 19, 2018 5.0 Easy integration with other oracle prodcuts. Pros Integration with all oracle solution, besides of the complete visual components for creating business dashboards for my organization Cons I can't have more than one RPD as Business Area for creating my analysis. I must to modify my RPD in BI administration tool and then, load it again. It's a bit confusing for me (compared with other solutions in market) Review Source KB Kenatu B. Senior Programmer Analyst Public Policy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "All the trimmings at a fraction of the cost" December 15, 2017 4.0 My company is what you would consider small about 200 + employees, but they have big expensive needs. BI Edition One allows us to get what we need without buying the whole cow \[Enterprise\]. If we every needed more, then we can upgrade without throwing out our initial investment. I won't go into all it does you can read the feature listings but suffice it to say if you use the PeopleSoft platform you will want this product. No more wasting time creating or generating reports for management. They can do for them selves and with a little training ad hoc reporting is at their finger tips. This leaves you with more time to work on leveraging all that you can from this wonderful robust platform. Pros 1\. Comprehensive BI functionality — 2. Flexible Interactive Dashboards 3. Highly customizeable reports 4. Self-service and ad hoc analysis, 5. Data integration with simple server administration Cons Cost - don't buy if you can't find a way to use it all. Its cheaper but not cheap, this platform is primarily for the PeopleSoft users its set to be of most use on that platform. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Quality Lead Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A complete analytics solution" November 27, 2019 4.0 We use it for our data analytics and reporting needs. Oracle has always amazed us with its robust features. Pros Slight learning curve. User friendly interface. Robust data processing engine, quite capable to handle huge amount of data with ease. Cons One of the con's that I see is its price. The price seems to be quite high than its rivals. Apart from price, I don’t see any issues with the tool. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Financial Specialist Information Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Oracle BI" August 19, 2018 5.0 Excellent Pros Ease of access, switching responsibilities, drilling between modules, web based, variety of various standard program runs and reports Cons Needs extensive training for users for some specific fields Review Source VR Verified Reviewer AWS Developer( works for Coca-cola Company) Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best BI tool from Oracle."

Grant Coordinator Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use Analytics Tool" October 16, 2018 5.0 Powerful analytic tool that can model any set of data you can think of! Pros I love how easy it is to integrate this with other products in the oracle suite. The dashboards are excellent and, being customizable, they let me have a host of options for data modelling. The options for visualizing data are excellent, and really add to the value when you consider all the capability this product has for reporting. Cons It can be annoying to update Java before the latest vendor patch will work. And, while I haven't experienced it, others on my team have reported browser issues, though that could have been due to their being lax on updates. Review Source Marcelo B. IT Infrastructure Architect Used the software for: 2+ years ### "my experience as administrator of the software is very good " June 13, 2018 3.0 the business likes because they have a products to make analitics of the sales that the companie makes and we can integrates with other systems of the company Pros the pros is the way how you administrate the product is a standard of fusion middleware products so is very easy the administrations Cons maybe can be the utilization of memory that is very high so i have to buy alot of memory for the hole environment if i have 200 user connected Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Gerente General Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Once you have information in Oracle BI, it is the only truth. " November 7, 2017 4.0 We are able to charge fairly rates to our customers. They are happy with the reporting. We can plan better and monitor better our business. Pros One version of truth . Share the same information trough the company is the key to start productive meetings. Cons It´s sometimes hard to add new information to the models. Sometimes the changes require too much IT work (building cubes). Data Visualization solve those problems partially. Review Source Rohit K. Director of Intelligence Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool for OCloud BI Developers" November 26, 2020 4.0 Good tool for interfacing with OCloud but opportunity to improve user experience with a better UI interface and smart auto-complete capabilities. Pros Great way to view and extract data from Ocloud using the BI publisher tool. Simple, intuitive UI with the ability to create and schedule extracts by building data models. For recurring extractions, the scheduler is fairly powerful and easy to use. Users have the option to extract data in different formats and store it locally, or load it on an FTP server using saved credentials. Cons Smart auto-complete option is missing and you have to manually type in full table names and field names. It would be great to have smart capabilities to auto-fill field/column names or the table names at the very least. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Data Analyst Banking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use and appealing interactive graphs" May 27, 2019 5.0 I have built over 5 reports and dashboard via Oracle BI. almost all of them are liked by my supervisers and C-level persons. Once I have realized all of the SQL, automation and etc., my reports are updated weekly without interfering. Pros I like to interactivy of Oracle BI. You can directly connect any database, pull data and visualize it in seconds. It is really fast and changing of graphs is smooth. Cons I would like to adjust the color, shape and other visualization styles easily. To make custom style, you need to know some javascript. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Mg of Business Intelligence Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Oracle Business Intelligence" May 7, 2019 5.0 In my experience i have the oportunity in the implementation in other companies this product. Because another way to work with virtual create directly in oracle is stable and work fine. on the other hand have cloud its the same way to create dashboard, analysis, metrics etc. Pros is the way to do a analysis, dashboards, create metrics and transform data from the data with graphics and administrative user, roles and other things Cons i don't have nothing that i didn't like in this moment Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Controller Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I would expect more from Oracle" March 9, 2018 3.0 Pros Oracle BI has many features and functionality which allow to create a wide reporting starting from many data source. Cons The architecture is very farraginous, the customer support is very poor, costs of licence and implementation are very expensive. In my OBI is a step backwards compared to other players Review Source KT Kushan T. Systems Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good financial management, budgeting and reporting tools/Bad after sales support " October 16, 2016 4.0 Very few Oracle support engineers have the enthusiasm or knowledge about the Oracle Hyperion products Oracle wants to sell the Hyperion products but doesn't have appropriate support Cloud products which have been recently launched are full of bugs The only silver lining is that the tools are still worth it and would definitely add value to the finance practice in your company A lot of opportunities in adding or developing new features to the Hyperion suite of products Pros No other EPM tools will suit your financial management or planning needs as Hyperion does Cons Support offered by Oracle Review Source PW Patrick W. Salesforce Architect Computer Hardware Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My favorite local BI tool" October 5, 2016 5.0 Just an easy way for users to get introduced to SQL and building queries. Very powerful for regular repeated processes that need to be run and reviewed by business users, especially ones who don't actually have SQL experiences. Only complaint is it seems that Oracle has abandoned really supporting it and promoting it as a product. Haven't seen a meaningful update in years. Pros Easy to use and powerful. Cons Needs 64-bit support--no major updates in years. Oracle just bought it and kept it steady state. Review Source HA Hasin A. Data Analyst Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It gets the job done" October 14, 2016 3.0 I work with Hyperion during my time as a Data Analyst for the New School.

Cons The user interface. Review Source Similar Products Featured
