Overall Satisfaction with Business Intelligence Discoverer

Business Intelligence Discoverer is being used by my current department. We use it to analyze worker's compensation data, and run reports. It is also used to find results when an outside agency or trading partners have questions on current stats on things like the opioid crisis and disability rates. It is a quick and easy way to find results needed.
  • Business Intelligence Discoverer helps with our Reporting team. We are able to run reports needed immediately using this tool.
  • Business Intelligence Discoverer helps with getting analysis of monthly and yearly medical data from across the state.
  • Business Intelligence Discoverer helps with web publishing and sending information to the trading partners.
  • 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.
  • 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 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.
