My review on Oracle Business Intelligence

What are the best aspects of this product?

I'm not recommending a product, I am introducing a friend and an assistant! Oracle BI has been my right hand for few years so far, and I'm fascinated by its structured approach higher management and financial data. I believe this is the most powerful tool the school has used so far, since it deals also with student enrollment, and load and revenue analytics. I've seen it analyze fast and smooth, in a transparent process that displayes results on your very own dashboard. A diamond to have, indeed!

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

My overall opinion is that this is an amazing product, but knowing how picky some of us can get, I feel the obligation to share that ad hoc reporting is not the best one ever. There are also some other small disadvantages, as for instance the lack of a customized SQL creativity which forces our developers to work with the RPD and SQL reports that have been given to them. It may not be an issue for smaller organizations, but ours often requires writing our oen SQLs and generating our own functionalities. As I said, I think this is nothing compared to the good features of the product, and I am standing behind my words.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

We have the usual problems every large university has, with plenty of complex data to export, adjust, and manage. Oracle BI was a perfect warehouse solution, since it handles large data volumes per time, and generates high-quality dashboards and amazing reviews.
