Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution can scale."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The product is easily customized."
"It's really an enterprise solution. It has a dashboard, like standard dashboarding functionality. It also has reporting capabilities for producing pixel-perfect reports, bursting large volumes of a document if you need to. It has interactive data discovery functionality, which you would use to explore your data, bring your own data, and merge it with maybe the data from an enterprise data warehouse to get new insights from the pre-existing data. It has machine learning embedded in the solution. If you're new to machine learning, it's a really good way to get into it, because it's all within this platform, and it's really easy to use."
"I've discovered that the new layout of this product makes Docker sharing, machine learning support, and data backups more efficient. Unlike the older method of linking physical, pre-logical, and presentation layers separately, the new interface simplifies this process. Additionally, the integration of databases and machine learning is seamless, with the new visualization approach being particularly beautiful and highly beneficial."
"It's robust. It has the ability to handle massive amounts. After reporting has been developed, there is an ease of use or a user-friendly interface for a trained workforce."
"A valuable feature is the speed of the solution."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's most valuable feature is its visualization."
"One of the most valuable features of SAP BusinessObjects is that it's not a dashboarding solution. It's a real product. You can create operational reports and publish it to anyone. You can create schedules. You can create a Universe, semantic layers. There's also a security configuration. It's a huge product, so if there is a business need, SAP BusinessObjects can cover it."
"It provides flexibility for creating reports. It is very good for creating highly-complex reports. I like this solution because when I buy BusinessObjects, it comes with many components, such as reporting, dashboard, and data visualization tools. Its performance is good. It is running on top of SAP BW and SAP HANA."
"It has been extremely valuable, to combine data from various data sources."
"The scheduling and publication features are very useful."
"The reporting features the solution offers are excellent."
"It gives you a lot of flexibility in designing your dashboards."
"The development using SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is very good."
"Ease of report development is a key feature."

"The learning curve should be improved, and I'm uncertain if tutorials are readily available or easily accessible. We may have resorted to looking on YouTube for such information. Having easily understandable documents or guides for new users would be beneficial. AI integration would be an interesting feature to add in the next release."
"They could improve the ease of developing the dashboard and interacting with it."
"When we have, for example, a table with low performance, we have several issues with drawing some graphics in the Oracle cloud."
"When you implement the product on a small scale, it doesn't generate any ROI."
"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."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is lacking in charts. They should add more charts to it."
"It is expensive."
"Its FAW feature has limitations in terms of usage."
"The financial area in the solution has certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"It needs to be more flexible for the end-user."
"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."
"The SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform has always struggled with dashboarding."
"The solution is not good for self-services, they can improve in this area."
"We would like to see a native version of BusinessObjects and Web Intelligence created for the cloud."
"Recently, it's become less stable if I am working on Citrix."
"The combination of Lumira along with Design Studio merger last year still needs development from a visualization standpoint."
