"In our organization, we feel that data visualization for APIs is an area in which the solution lacks."
"Oracle products have a lot of complications...Oracle has a history of not really providing great support."
"Setup and migration are very complex. Technically, Oracle accessory is extremely complex. These days, the industry demands a kind of Excel analysis, which is very easy to install, set up, and it's very developer-friendly as well as end-user friendly. OBIEE lacks all those features."
"An area for improvement is that Oracle pushes more users to Oracle BI Publisher rather than emphasizing Oracle OBIEE for reporting. The pricing for Oracle OBIEE could be improved."
"The platform's data visualization features need improvement."
"Oracle OBIEE is a product that is not easy to implement. The product is also not easy to use."
"The admin features for disk space management need work. It's very difficult to manage the disk space by the application; good admin features and not included to allow you to do that. I don't believe that is in the latest version of the product either."
"Tableau was easier for me to use because the interface is more similar to Excel which I was used to using."
"It is not simple to use."
"It would be good if they could integrate the possibility for end users to create end models for themselves that they can use, especially for site operators, and if they could provide the end user not only the self-service BI, but also the self-service analytics, based on a predefined model, the same way that Oracle did."
"SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform should be made easier for the end-users and the performance could be improved."
"When we implemented BusinessObjects, the setup was straightforward. After SAP bought BusinessObjects, it gradually became more and more stepwise. There are too many steps, and they take too much time."
"Most of the Apps right now are into dashboarding. This tool, for the Crystal Reports in the phase I'm primarily working on, does not have those dashboarding capabilities, like in the other advanced tools like Power BI or ClickView, and compared to them the dashboard generation is not that great."
"We would like to see a native version of BusinessObjects and Web Intelligence created for the cloud."
