Selecting a Lightweight Ad-Hoc EBS Reporting Solution: Why Blitz Report Excels Over OBIEE

Avatar photoCustomer Questions & Answers 5 replies

Our transition away from Discoverer has stalled because Oracle is pushing us toward OBIEE/OAC, which feels like massive overkill and an unnecessary expense for generating simple data lists or running quick ad-hoc queries . We require a lightweight, agile reporting tool that allows users familiar with SQL to easily run reports and export directly to Excel, without requiring a separate, costly infrastructure layer or specialized administration overhead. What streamlined third-party option excels in direct SQL to Excel reporting?
