We performed a comparison between Oracle OBIEE and Tableau based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 offers a wide range of software tools to meet various needs, such as those concerning reports, developer solutions like APEX and the integration of data."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is the security of the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is its ease of use."
"The most valuable features of Oracle OBIEE are ease of use, the graphical user interface is simple to understand, and the reports can be done without problems. There are many tutorials and training materials available if needed."
"The performance can issue queries to work in the Oracle database in Oracle's native language. There are a lot of visualizations which suit our business."
"The most valuable feature is the user-friendly set of tools that the customer can use to develop their own business dashboards."
"The solution is easy to use and very flexible."
"Oracle OBIEE is a scary and stable product since it is a strong and well-created tool... In short, the solution is stable since it works properly every day."
"The most important feature in Tableau is visual analytics."
"It is very good for data visualization. It has very powerful visualizations and is easy to use."
"Tableau has many good features. It is user-friendly, has a simple-to-use interface, and has a customizable dashboard."
"Tableau is easy to use."
"It is a very stable product. It doesn't break."
"Compared to other products, visualization features are really good."
"I have found Tableau easy to use and the features are superb."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is user-friendly and intuitive."
"In our organization, we feel that data visualization for APIs is an area in which the solution lacks."
"The functionality to customize and modify reports has been removed, and it would be beneficial to reinstall it, as it allows greater customization and flexibility in creating reports."
"It was a little bit tedious to install a new release."
"We were not satisfied with the support, because we could not obtain answers or solutions."
"One significant improvement is the need for simplification. The set up could be more intuitive. An enterprise setup with HA and DR are pretty complex and to get a robust solution one has to play around with Real Application Cluster data sources and FAN notifications as well as WebLogic clustering and external load balancers. SSO also is not that simple to set up especially if you want all your Oracle systems to use the same SSO solution, i.e., no cheating with direct LDAP connectivity."
"The main problem we face is migrating all of the reports into the solution."
"Even though we have a feature to enable the physical query to be seen in the log, in case of any issues, it is challenging to debug and see or identify where is the issue. For example, we designed the OBIEE repository and deployed it into the server, and we are now accessing and creating a report. For some reason, if the report is not working as expected, it is very difficult to identify the issue. We have a feature to see the physical query that is being generated in the central OBIEE server. I feel that this feature should have been available at the repository level so that while designing the repository, we can select the presentation columns and the query it is going to create. This will avoid the additional task of deploying a feature into the server and then testing the report. It will also make the implementation process friendly if, while designing the repository, we can see: How is a feature working? Are any of the presentation columns selected? How is the query being generated? Which query is being generated? Are any joints used? What kind of joints are used? Having this kind of information will make Oracle OBIEE more powerful and developer-friendly."
"Managing the OB applications requires a high level of experience, and makes the solution quite heavy."
"We need big servers to perform the operations that we are doing. They should probably relook at its architecture."
"Tableau's data modeling, mining, and AI library features need improvement."
"Lacks customization in some areas."
"Tableau is an end-to-end analytics platform, and it is doing a pretty good job in terms of connecting to the data and analyzing it. It can, however, do better in terms of data management and the ETL features, which are not on the advanced analytics or machine learning side. Tableau Prep is where users would want to see more advancements. They can improve Tableau Prep, which is an analytic platform tool for data cleansing. People who work with data spend most of their time curating the data. Cleaning up the data and getting it ready for analysis is what takes the most time. If Tableau can invest more time in improving the Tableau Prep platform, it would be great. Previously, Tableau didn't have the functionality for writing to a database. So, you couldn't really alter the database tables and write to your database, but they fixed that in one of the very recent releases. However, it isn't really advanced and should be improved."
"The charts in Tableau are quite limited."
"They need to improve the bar chart position and width."
"The price of Tableau is too high."
"There's no mature ETL tool in Tableau, which is quite a negative for them."
