Areas where Business Intelligence Discoverer is well suited - when immediate access to the data is required, places where different types for m data visualization is required. It supports numbers, charts, etc.

Areas where Business Intelligence Discoverer is not well suited - in places where direct access to data in the database is not needed, slice and dice of data and building data models are not needed, businesses that don't require reports and numbers everyday.

If you work in an organisation in which data requirements are heavy across all functions, then Oracle BI Discoverer is an effective solution. BI Discoverer provides easy access to your databases through a simple browser-based touchpoint. This allows all users to query the database without the use of cumbersome tools and requires almost no SQL expertise.
On the other hand, if you have deeper analytics requirements with heavy reliance on visualisation, then BI Discoverer will not fulfil your requirements.

Oracle BID is suited for a business that needs to run many reports daily. This includes getting stats on current information, and analytics to send back to trading partners and other business entities. Oracle BID would not be appropriate for any company whose main focus is not to store data that will be queried for reporting purposes.

I have worked with a variety of reporting tools but when you are building super complex reports, then this is the tool to go. Its seamless integration with the Oracle database while processing millions of records and data for reporting purposes is just awesome. I can't see any scenarios where it would be less appropriate to use.

In Reporting tools, this software can be a game changer. It has immense features that are suited towards creating reports for strategic business decisions. In OLTP setup , where processing is of major importance, this tool is not of much use.

This tool is well suited for organizations that need to generate reports and need to be able to do so daily or monthly. The Discover tool, which is now an OBIEE tool is very robust and easy for users to operate on a daily basis. This is a web-based tool and maintenance is very easy.

Business Intelligence Discoverer is best suited for financial reporting where accounting teams can view general ledger activities. It is, however, not suited for sub-ledger reporting as I find the application runs slow for the query. BI is also very good for a snapshot view of daily activities which is useful for executives to get an overall picture of operations.

The software is particularly suited for quickly extracting large volumes of specific data from our ERP for further analysis. It is less appropriate for checking individual pieces of data.

The ease of being able to data mine makes this tool perfect for a company that has a lot of raw data being shifted around. Our staff relies on data and BI Discoverer makes sure that data is accurate. We have set up all of the reports in BI Discoverer to ensure that what we are paying correctly and what we're doing is certainly what we wanted to do for that week. It helps to make sure that we're also not duplicating payments and customers are also given the correct invoices.

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.

Well suited for mining large sets of data to build reports for financials, order history, or quality mining from your database. It is less appropriate for small business where this level of tool might be too much overhead to use. For me, does not do a great job dealing with duplicate data due to cross-tabs, might be my lack of knowledge in this area, I usually clean some of this up post-data through excel.

For some businesses with a small database and a small group of users with basic BI demand, this is recommended. Otherwise, it's better to choose other more advanced tools. For example, SAAS or TIBCO Spotfire

Discoverer is definitely well suited for a company that is working with a lot of data but does not have a large database knowledgeable team. It allows for basic database management while permitting users to access the data in a simple and efficient way. Reporting is easy to do and, again, does not require a lot of database know-how. If you are looking for more in-depth customization and multiple data sources from various vendors, though, you may want to look into a more robust platform.

For a company using Oracle EBS this is a very good product that quickly provides value.
For non-Oracle EBS environments, building out the data definitions is no better than any other product and may therefore be hard to justify over another tool that provides the same types of reporting features.
