We are in the implementation phase and anticipate go live within a few weeks. The import of our previous reports by EIS xPress tool was fairly smooth. We are now having to assign responsibilities to reports within SplashBi, and that is taking some development.

PROS

Like the "Layout" feature where you can set the home page to display the reports that you have edited, recently submitted and add favorites. This gives the user easy access to those reports that are frequently run.

CONS

The report creation and modification is a little difficult for the mere user with little to no technical knowledge.

Use of Splash BI ay Las Vegas Valley Water District

Splash BI has enabled us to enable the business to get information, without delay, on a self serve basis with little IT involvement. The support is also extremely good. Both from the personal relationships that I have with individuals in the company, but also from a ticket perspective. They are always willing to jump on a Skype and investigate any issues that we have.

PROS

The software has allowed us to push much of the report writing - previously a burden to IT and requiring time delays to the business - out to the people that need the information. Although IT is still involved, it is nice to walk around different departments and see users running reports as well as developing reports. While the product was limited to IT and Finance up until recently, other areas of the business have now adopted the solution and requested training (that we have developed in house). Interestingly the growth in use of the product has been somewhat self propagating. As an example I had people in Fleet request a report from Finance which they loved and asked how they got it. When informed about Splash BI, they requested a demo - which Finance gave (!) - and now have requested training from IT.

CONS

The navigation is a little clunky although it seems a lot better in the latest release. We also typically encounter a number of bugs after an upgrade, reducing our desire to be early adopters.

Moving from Discoverer to SplashBI for our reporting needs was one of the best decisions we made.

PROS

It's easy to use, allows greater flexibility than other tools, you can use the out-of-the-box seeded reports or create completely customized ones, plus I really like the ability to schedule reports that need complex schedules.

CONS

Formatting the reports with fonts is not so easy but workarounds are available for that. Experienced some scheduling bugs but the support team was prompt about offering solutions for that.

A perfect fit for our ad-hoc Oracle reporting needs

I must mention that Splash do provide excellent support. We had a lot of suggestions in the early days (circa 2017) which they listened to and, where possible, incorporated into future releases. You can tell that the team takes great pride in its product.

PROS

This was purchased as a replacement for Oracle Discoverer and we've never looked back. Splash provides us (as administrators) with a high degree of control to configure our data domains and security so that our 150 users can easily get at the data they need. The ability to schedule and distribute reports with attachments of various formats is probably the feature I appreciate the most. The ability to view the underlying SQL is also very handy.

CONS

There's not much negative I can say about Splash. The only minor niggle I have when using it on a daily basis is that after submitting a report I have to keep pressing the "refresh" button to check its progress. No great hardship but sometimes I wish it would auto-refresh like its Excel plug-in front end does. Mind you, we are on an older version now so this may well have been resolved.

Reasons for switching to SplashBI

Discoverer was de-supported.

SplashBI meets our reporting needs

We have dozens of scheduled reports to support our different business functions. We have SplashBI reports embedded in Excel to create Project Costing dashboards. It is highly reliable and well performing.

PROS

I believe the most valuable feature to us of SplashBI is the large catalog of Oracle E-Business Suite view to build reports. The integration of SplashBI to Microsoft Excel is very useful to our organization.

CONS

I don't have any complaints about the functionality of SplashBI.

Reasons for switching to SplashBI

Additional functionality, product improvements.

You have control!

The team we have worked with is very professional and willing to help in any way necessary. When we have opened help desk tickets they have been reviewed and resolved in a timely manner. Some tickets were training issues and others needed patches applied. The team is always there to help support us.

PROS

I am not the most savvy report writer but SplashBi makes it so simple to create or edit a report. There is no need to site with a developer and hope they have your report done in a timely manner. You have the control to create your report in your time frame. It was so easy to take our Reporter reports and move them into SplashBI along with any sql reports we run.

CONS

Joining tables is still something I struggle with. Mostly it is because I have not taken the time to learn it.

Effective Reporting software for Oracle EBS environments

SplashBI has the primary Reporting software for all AP, AR, Treasury, Land, Revenue, JIB Accounting teams, for approximately 6 years. Users benefit from the ease-of-use interface and the ability to run reports directly from within Excel.

PROS

Very User-friendly interface. Great value for money. Access can be AD integrated or EBS role-based. Reports run on Browser or in Excel with a SplashBI add-on. Has built-in reports and connections to Oracle EBS. Most reports can be developed quickly and can be moved between dev and prod environments.

CONS

Designing custom templates/forms can be a little complex.

Reasons for switching to SplashBI

Improved usability, development process, standardization, and long-term support.

Replacement of Discoverer

PROS

We used SplashBI to replace our Discoverer which was not supported anymore. We really liked the migration tool which allowed us to easily transfer the reports we used to have in Discoverer. The reporting tool is very nice to use and a real progress compared to what we had before (possibility to schedule, distribute, share reports, compatibility with Excel 365).

CONS

We didn't use the Dashboard function so far (out of scope). One problem we had is that the datawarehouse model needs to have been setup correctly (especially the joints) to avoid later issues.

Replacement for OBIEE / Discoverer

Great internal team and super easy to work with

PROS

As an OBIEE SuperUser for over 10+ who has created 100s of dashboards and 1,000s I have found SplashBI easier and faster to use at every level: installation, configuration, set-up, administration, and end user. A product that converts Discoverer on the fly - and it works - WOW! As a reseller and implementer, we FIXED many OBIEE botched implementations. SplashBI installion in simple and straight forward

CONS

Not much to say here. If you need a BI tool, you will do you yourself a disfavor by not taking a serious look at SplashBI. Check out all the others, do your due diligence and then make an informed decision

Discoverer was holding us back from upgrading to newer EBS version, applying needed security patches, and to upgrade our OS from Linux 5 to Linux7. Splashbi allowed us to do all of these and more ...

PROS

Very pleased with the way this tool has enabled us to build dashboards across the company

This product allowed us to easily build dashboards for various parts of the organization. Giving user a graphical representation of data makes the information easier to understand and helps with decision making processes

PROS

The ability to access data from various data sources allows us to consolidate reporting into a single tool and have access to data from various sources on the same dashboard. This is extremely useful when building out dashboards for upper management.

CONS

Still no connector to allow you to access data in Essbase which they have said has been on their list for development
