"When we have, for example, a table with low performance, we have several issues with drawing some graphics in the Oracle cloud."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is lacking in charts. They should add more charts to it."
"They could improve the ease of developing the dashboard and interacting with it."
"When you implement the product on a small scale, it doesn't generate any ROI."
"This solution could be more adaptable in its application."
"Its FAW feature has limitations in terms of usage."
"Its machine learning and visualization capabilities can be improved. There should be more visualization options."
"It's not a failure of the product; it's just an architectural choice. It has to do with data modeling. I'm comparing this to another product, which is Oracle's developer client and probably called Oracle BI Developer Client Tool. The data modeler, which is cloud-based, and Oracle BI Developer Client Tool, which is local or on-premises-based, both can do the same thing in data modeling. However, the cloud tool does not have as many features as the Oracle BI Developer Client Tool, which is closest to the OBIEE Administration Tool with full feature data modeling, metadata development, and so forth. In a complex environment or implementation, that is the capability that you need."
"Over the years, the product tends to rename and rebrand itself and change its direction. This is a deficit of the solution."
"It needs to be more flexible for the end-user."
"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."
"The platform should be a bit more user-friendly."
"SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is lacking dashboards and this would be the only reason we are looking for another solution."
"They could reduce the licensing expenses. There is nothing really wrong with the product in terms of what it does. It works well. If you are a part of BI Launch Pad, then you could run ad hoc reporting, but for the integration, you need access to BI Launch Pad, which is quite expensive. We're an organization with 18,000 employees. It is not really practical to give people access to BI Launch Pad. So, from a customer perspective, in terms of saturating our employee base, we don't really have great saturation because of the expense."
"SAP BusinessObjects is actually losing popularity within our company because people find the user interface and the way things are set up not to be as easy as many other tools that are on the market, like Qlik and things like that."
"The dashboard tool is called Lumira and it is very uncomfortable for developers to use. They should improve this in the future."
