Scathing review of Oracle’s pre-Siebel BI products

Stephen Few offers a blistering review of Oracle Discoverer, its portal integration, and its UI in general. This fits well with what I said last November:

Obviously, Oracle has the potential to be a titan in analytics. But it doesn’t have its act at all together yet.

And so I agree with a couple of comments on Stephen’s post, to the effect of “Well, gee, no wonder that Siebel’s BI tools look like they’ll be the surviving technology.”

EDIT: Mark Rittman offers a lot of screenshots of Oracle’s Siebel BI Suite. If you look at other posts on his blog, you’ll see Discoverer as well.

    Discoverer sucks. It’s sad.

    This scathing review of Oracle’s pre-Siebel BI products highlights some significant shortcomings. It’s clear that users were left wanting more in terms of functionality and usability. As Oracle continues to evolve its BI offerings, addressing these past issues will be crucial for regaining user trust and satisfaction. Constructive critiques like this can help drive improvements in future releases!
