Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the reporting.""I like that Oracle OBIEE comes with more options. For example, more options with data security, user security, and other security. It's more complicated than Microsoft, but it gives you more options. They also added the part for machine learning, which is good.""The most valuable feature is the ability to run it in Exalytics within memory coupled to a Repository on Exadata is where it flies. So it's not meant for mom and pop shops, but if you are a global 500 fortune 1000 company, this is a tool that can get you what you need on time and even in real time.""The most valuable features are the lexical parameters and distribution.""I like the cloud deployment feature. There are about 20 new features, and they are available on mobile and more. I haven't used any of them, but these features are highly attractive.""We do you use Oracle support. We've been paying for an Oracle support subscription for four or five years, and not one ticket has ever been logged. When I came in, I've encouraged the team to ask Oracle questions. They do get back quite quickly. Their support is good. Working with our account managers, if I need to escalate anything, I can speak to them and they escalate the call. I've got that ecosystem working quite well. That does work for us.""Oracle OBIEE is very easy to use. Looking at analytics, I think they have come a long way by adding new features like visualization, which is really cool.""It mostly supports enterprise level data. We have millions of records on a daily basis."

"No issues with stability. It is a very stable solution.""Sisense has helped us gain knowledge about our customers, as well as highlighting data quality issues to correct.""The dashboard design interface is very intuitive and allows you to quickly and easily produce professional, innovative dashboards.""Ability to work with very large data sources without the limitations of Excel.""There are many built-in connectors, which allow us to easily add new sources of data, often in minutes.""A very simple setup: Easy to download, install, and updates are pain free.""Whenever we have an issue or are unsure how to proceed, they manage to simplify the issue and help us execute it in a graceful and scalable way.""We like that this solution allows us to use data cubes to set up specific visualizations."

Cons
"Customer service/technical support gets five out of 10. Sometimes good, sometimes bad.""I would like to see enhancements in tracking, debugging, and flexibility.""For a beginner, this is a product that is difficult to learn. You cannot learn it quickly.""Oracle OBIEE could improve by having better integration and compatibility with other vendors.""It crashes when many people login simultaneously.""Oracle OBIEE is a product that is not easy to implement. The product is also not easy to use.""Oracle OBIEEE's performance and licensing costs could be improved.""It takes a lot of maintenance to support the architecture, which is something that should be improved."

More Oracle OBIEE Cons →

"They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard.""Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T""The solution's setup process could be easier.""I would also like to be able to run a bursts of reports based on different field values with PDF output right in the tool, rather than filtering on each field value and generating each PDF manually.""I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums.""I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes.""The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing.""I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Sandeep V., Process System Engineer at a comms service provider, tells us, “This solution is very easy for people who are building ad-hoc things. It's an enterprise solution so it can be deployed for a lot of users. There are some great new features that come with the 12c like data visualization, desktop BI Publisher, automation, and interactive dashboards. The product has good features. “ 

    A user who is a CEO at a consultancy relates, “The most valuable feature is the visualization. The data warehousing, data storage, and data wrangling are all features that are in there, and it's one of the better products out there. A good thing is that for large datasets, it's very stable, especially when you have an Oracle database.”

    A user who is a Principal Business Intelligence Architect at a computer software company suggests, "It is very biased towards Oracle infrastructure. One of the major red flags we have at the moment against Oracle is that it doesn't support deployment on other cloud providers. We're quite heavily vested in AWS as our infrastructure, and Oracle is yet to formally support deploying on those virtual infrastructure instances. That's quite disappointing, and it also cuts them out of over 70% of the market."
