Overall Satisfaction with Oracle BI Foundation Suite
We use Oracle BI Foundation Suite (BI) across all the organization. We have trained all our end users to use BI, because we have decided to remove Discoverer from our EBS side. It helped our users to do reporting much more easily and it gives them freedom to create charts.
- This is not a replacement for Discovery and is not going to replace any transactional report. You can have balances of each account in BI but not the entire trial balance.
- The focus of this suite is analytical reporting not transaction reporting.
- If you are using security with EBS, then implementing security with EBS is a challenge, no proper documentation is available from Oracle, so opening an SR is useful.
- Template builder should be more user friendly.
- It serves the purpose, but ROI is not as great as was expected. This may be due to user training and users are measuring BI from the discoverer point of view. Both are different tools, but we are getting there, but the road is little bumpy.
