The Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) is flagship software from Oracle. Oracle has been providing customers with high end software solutions for a long time now, and is one of the leading manufacturers of business intelligence software.
OBIEE is an open, complete and unified BI system that delivers various abilities like ad hoc, reporting, dashboards, online analytical processing (OLAP), and scorecards, among others. The various data sources, the calculations, hierarchies, definitions, and metrics are managed in one information model that provides users with consistent and precise insight, irrespective of who consumes the information. Other vendors and competitors of Oracle in this market include Cognos from IBM, BI from Microsoft, AG Business Objects from SAP, and the SAS institute Inc.
With so many different Business Intelligence software manufacturers as well as other big data solutions in the market, it can become difficult for customer to choose the perfect solution for their company. Given here are some of the things said by customers about OBIEE and its performance in this market segment.
A user, who works as an architect in a government agency, says that the OBIEE is a strong BI platform that is suited for enterprises and comes packed with all features required for robust business intelligence software. This includes scorecards, dashboards, reports, mobile apps, OLAP capabilities, Microsoft Office support, and SOA complaint architecture, among others.
Another user, who is the head of engineering working at a technical services company with more than 5000 employees, says that the OBIEE presents a futuristic vision for the business intelligence server capabilities and has flexible and dynamic dashboard, support for answers, an intelligence query search engine, mobile and web analytics, and unstructured as well as structured data support.
A business intelligence developer working for a transportation company says OBIEE can easily be integrated with various data extraction, source, load, and transformation tools. Apart from these other useful things include databases with SQL and DB2 Server.
A user working for a company as a technical support staff, however, believes that Oracle doesn’t provide with extensive support for the customers and businesses and has to be improved for better service. Finally, a business intelligence expert gives OBIEE a three star rating owing to the slowness of the software and also for the lack of advanced capabilities for users when doing ad hoc analysis.
Overall the reviews are positive and denote a successful product from Oracle.
