Overall Satisfaction with Business Intelligence Discoverer
The BI Discoverer is being used by our Finance/HR and Payroll departments. A lot of instant mission-critical reports are being generated from the Oracle EBS system via discoverer. It has really helped the users with time-savings.
- Complex reporting made easy.
- With ease, multiple levels of nested groupings possible within pivot functionality.
- A lot of formatting tools are available for more control of reports containing visual attributes.
- Maybe a more user-friendly worksheet wizard used in this tool.
- More tuning options or maybe SQL advisory hints when building the worksheets would be immensely helpful.
- 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.
