BI Analysitcics
Very easy to use and understanding the technology could work well for your organization. Sometimes the majority of the business unit's key stakeholders don't utilize the data for the needs of the business.

Browser-based tool for your simple data needs.
BI Discoverer is simpler and lighter. It offers a much lighter option for data access when compared to most other business intelligence tools. However, the features on BI Discoverer are limited and cannot solve deeper analytics requirements. For such use cases, it might be advisable to use Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition instead.

Oracle BI Discoverer Review
- Axibase Enterprise Reporter (AER)
Oracle BID was a better alternative than AER for our department. Since we are an Oracle-heavy department, using Oracle software for all tasks, from data storage to reporting was the way to go. BID has proven to be a cheaper, more efficient alternative to AER. It has served its purpose in our department for many years now.

Oracle BI Discoverer - Your one stop solution to enterprise reporting and analytics!!!
- Oracle Application Express, Microsoft Power BI and ORBIT
Power BI is mostly for visualization and dashboards whereas Discoverer is for lifting heavy reports outputs. Oracle APEX can be used for building reports but not very complex ones. Pivot functionality in apex reports is not all good when it involves multiple nested groupings within pivots. BI Discoverer is a far superior product.

Amazing Business Intelligence suite
- Microsoft Power BI and SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI) Platform
Regarding to Power BI and Business Intelligence Discovery I think the principal difference is Business Intelligence Discovery allow discoverer data from web services and there are a lot of tools for only one purpose, manage data! Regarding to SAP BusinessObjects and Business Intelligence Discovery is the price. SAP is very expensive.

Oracle BI Discoverer
Both produce the same end results for creating reports used by higher management for decision making. The way they are designed and featured, the process is what makes them different.

A Media Customer's Review of Business Intelligence Discoverer
September 18, 2019
Awesome tool to analyze data and reports
We selected this tool because it is easy to create an end-user layer which is the repository in the database. The data that is being used is from the datamart which we have built on a daily basis. This tool was selected because it is a web-based and available 24/7.

Business Intelligence Discoverer and OBIEE
They offer completely different functions. OBIEE is better for detailed data and Tableau is for visualization and summary of data.

Discover your data with Discoverer!
Discoverer is more of a departmental BI tool. OBIEE is much more expensive compared to Discoverer. OBIEE needs an ETL and Reporting team to develop reports. OBIEE involves complex modelling of RPD whereas it is much simpler with Discoverer. With Discoverer, it is as simple as importing database tables, defining joins and running the queries.
Discoverer stacks very well on top of ERP systems directly. Users can run reports on ERP tables using Discoverer. To perform similar jobs through OBIEE, one has to either use Noetix or another transactional model.

Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. - Einstein
I did not select Discoverer.....however, I do prefer it to the other tools that I have used for report creation. I do like the mix of GUI and SQL direct code avail. I have mostly used the desktop version, but migrating over to the web based version and starting to build reports there. I find Discoverer to be fairly easy to navigate and intuitive for me to build my reports.

Business Intelligence Discoverer, a relatively simple and straightforward BI solution
TIBCO Spotfire or SaaS BI are much more flexible and comprehensive, being compared with Business Intelligence Discoverer, they support many ways of scripting and has rich data visualization options, and furthermore, they can be linked with recent popular ML/DL frameworks.

Discoverer: Your Gateway to Database Management
Before our team grew to incorporate more database savvy members, Discoverer was an easy and efficient tool for reporting and analyzing data. As our team added more database members, though, we quickly outgrew the need for a simpler program and expanded into one where we could customize everything as well as add external vendors' data to pull in from multiple sources.

Discover the benefits of Discoverer
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.
