Overall Satisfaction with Oracle BI Foundation Suite
Oracle BI Foundation was used to make a middle layer for ad-hoc reports and analysis by users. It can connect various sources and can model DW for BI reports and analysis. Then it has its own powerful tool for report and dashboard development. I have also worked with the Oracle Strategy Management tool which is a very great way to present strategy management budgeted vs. actual KPI values.
- Middle layer where we can model data for any complex requirement. On presentation layer, we can make it very business friendly.
- Very powerful capability and even customization by languages/scripts is available.
- Data Security and Object security are very strong. It is provided various [types of] granularity.
- Formatting and look & feel is not so great for default development unless you make efforts on it.
- For simple things or quick developments, it takes considerable efforts to bring it completion from end to end.
