Overall Satisfaction with Oracle BI Foundation Suite

I've worked on Oracle BI reporting platform in one of my previous job. I find the tool to be less complicated as a project analyst. Also as a developer it is similar to other reporting tools from SAP and Microsoft.
  • Oracle BI Foundation Suite is a platform for business intelligence that does particularly well for formatted reporting, ad-hoc reporting and analysis.
  • Its core components such as OBIEE and Oracle Scorecard and Strategy management, also support Mobile.
  • Behind the scene XML script that can be handy sometimes besides SQL scripts.
  • The architecture of this tool is little complicated for a fresher to understand, since it has too many layers.
  • System requirements are too heavy. For a large enterprise the memory can be manageable but for small companies the cost of installing complete infrastructure would be a costly deal.
I happened to work for a company that had and OBIEE environment as its reporting platform. The reason they mentioned for using the Oracle BI Foundation Suite was to support sales reporting.

I think Oracle BI Foundation Suite is well suited for sales reporting, ad-hoc reporting and scorecards.
