Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Analytics Server (formerly Oracle BI Foundation Suite)

We used the tool for Analytics purposes on HR data of employees of a huge financial institution (bank). The tool served as an excellent solution to Analytical questions the organisation wanted to ask. HR problems were solved using the BI Answers . Our scope of use case is pretty bast given that the data source was considerably huge

Pros

  • Adhoc reports
  • Graphs and Map features
  • Wide data connectivity options
  • Semantic layer

Cons

  • UI design
  • More Graphic solutions
  • Drill across implementation
  • Excellent value for money
  • High cost overall due to entire infrastructure
  • Good support
  • Support pricing is high
With respect to the above mentioned tools the Oracle BI provides excellent semantic layer(BMM) layer which is very effective in creating complex measures for various financial reporting solutions and also other use cases. The delivery options are great too. Only drawback is pricing is costly for this one and can only provide value for money in case of large scale implementation

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Oracle Analytics Server go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Oracle Analytics Server again?

Yes

It's an Excellent BI tool for mainly large organisations looking for a single source of truth for BI purposes. Its wide range of features can be used for an entire organization with very good control of Authentication implementation without hassles. Also caters the use of medium sized organization well . Not so worthy of the data source is less and the users are less(usually smaller companies with size less than 1000)
