Overall Satisfaction with Business Intelligence Discoverer

Business Intelligence Discoverer is used to access and analyze data in the database and create reports. Since it supports web-based publishing of reports, it serves as a single tool to query, analyze, report and publish it in the web. It is a very useful tool for non-technical or business analysts.
It is used only by a department and not across the organization.
It addresses the business problem of getting immediate access to data and analyze data in the database and create reports.

Pros

  • Querying database, analyzing the data using data models
  • Reporting and publishing on the web
  • Integrates with Oracle Portal, Oracle WebCenter, and Oracle WebLogic Portal

Cons

  • Tools look classic, more intuitive UI would be good
  • Even though non-technical users can use it, relational data model creation needs technical knowledge
  • Not a regular self-guiding reporting tool, needs training
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.
