Oracle Analytics Server
The entire deployment and configuration stage was easy and it was accessible across the organization in a matter of days. Oracle Analytics Server being a cloud-based solution helped right from Input of Bulk Data to Info preparation, Data cleaning, and finally Data Modeling. Everything was visual and the Help Wizard was very intuitive.

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
Oracle Analytics Server
- More AI but with human back up.
- Less mumbo jumbo so even IT guys/gals can more easily work.
- More statistics (math) and orientation for those not familiar with it.
- More live as well as virtual (live) show casing of real situations in business.

- 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.

Scalability and rich integration capabilities. In the future, if we go with Hyperion for the Financial Consolidation and planning purposes -BI integration with Hyperion is going to be much simpler as it has native interface connectivity and even integration capabilities with well known CRM products (Siebel) and ERP Products (Oracle EBS, Peoplesoft, SAP) is going to be easy and straight forward.

It's fast, efficient and easy to work with. Scheduling could help when planning out a day however overall it's a big plus when rolling out and supporting Oracle.

Alternatives Considered
Oracle Analytics Server
Oracle BI works pretty well and has been well acknowledged and appreciated by the business users and power users who develop reports and dashboards. Compared to other tools, Oracle BI object development is easier and has a quick turnout. Using Oracle BI with Essbase and Oracle Exadata db, we believe the performance rendering data is quite good. We are using MicroStrategy as well almost equally, but for critical reporting needs considering the back end is Oracle and Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications (OFSAA) we have chosen OBIEE.

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.

Return on Investment
Oracle Analytics Server
- We've used OBIEE (or it's previous named product) for over 13 years and it's still the most used tool for BI by the business.
- We moved our largest business system off of Business Object into OBI so we could gain improved performance, reliability, and easier management of metadata.

- We have used Discoverer to respond to state sales and use tax audits and saved the company more than the cost of the product. Discoverer has thus assisted in our objective of managing costs.
- Discoverer is used to provide reports for EEOC reporting assisting our goal of complying with all government requirements.
