    It is well suited for population health management when you are using an integrated or single EHR health network. If you don't have a reliable data source, then the program is useless.

    Discoverer is well suited as a reporting tool where data integration doesn't play a major role. Discoverer suits very well situations where a user has to run a query every day. Discoverer reports can be scheduled and the user can just view the data instead of running the query manually. Also, Discoverer takes away the pain of managing the database credentials. Discoverer is not well suited to situations where the whole enterprise wants to view the same dashboard. Discoverer is more of a departmental BI tool. Discoverer doesn't offer many options to integrate data unless one has to create and handle integration using PL/SQL.

    • SQL friendly which allows for fast adoption for those users who know how to write in SQL. This makes integration with other programs much easier.
    • Accessing data is very fast even with larger data sets.
    • The layout is clean and organized similar to a spreadsheet which allows for easier viewing and analyzing of the data.

    Cons
    IBM
    • With a large organization, it would be better if we had the ability to create and save presets instead of having to add/remove practices/regions/providers in measure
    • Clearly displayed attribution methodology

    • There is always room for more scalability and optimization of performance.
    • Oracle BI changes a lot from version to version. A smoother transition into a new version would be very helpful.
    • Oracle BI's reporting tool is a little hard to use at first. The UI/UX of the tool can use improvement.

    Much better visualization and you can work with Clarity databases to extract data

    Discoverer was already in place when I joined the company so I was not involved in the selection process. However, I have been involved in the review of Discoverer as compared to alternatives including Business Objects, OBIEE, and SSRS. On a cost benefit analysis Discoverer always came out on top. Changing to another tool never provided enough additional functionality to overcome the cost of conversion and ongoing maintenance.
