Overall Satisfaction with Oracle BI Foundation Suite

Oracle BI is being used by the majority of our organization if not by all. It helps address gaps in our organization through data analysis on dashboards. It helps in understanding the progress of different departments across the organization and gives real-time updates on the performance of various reports that were customized and created using this tool.
  • Oracle helps with easy customization of reports.
  • It helps with the creation of dashboards and the integration of different data sources.
  • Oracle BI was a package used for multiple users across our organization - publishing and distributing reports was a breeze.
  • The tool requires coding and training.
  • The UI is not as intuitive as it should be - there can be improvements to make the reports sharp.
  • The mobile experience should be in-built and automated. The plugins should be available so that the primary focus will be left on reports.
Oracle stacks up very well against these tools. It is highly customizable with data being available from multiple sources with ease. SQL queries make it very easily customizable. The UI part can be crispier and smoother which is slightly better in the other software. I'd still rate it very well as it is well suitable for larger organizations.
The tool is still very good considering the complexities in data that can be modified within the tool using SQL queries. It can be used with advanced coding to integrate data from non-coherent sources. The only place where it is slightly less appropriate is where there is not a crisp UI. The UI and mobile experience could be more intuitive.
