OLAP REPORT REVIEW: Interactive Reporting 9.2

A product evaluation and scoring based on over 40 separate criteria


Brio, one of the pioneers of interactive relational analysis, lives on as a component in Oracle’s BI Suite Enterprise Edition Plus

Originally known as Brio Query, and then Brio Intelligence, Interactive Reporting was acquired in 2003 to plug a gap in Hyperion's product stack. Since the acquisition of Hyperion in 2007, it has competition from within Oracle, most notably from the former Siebel Analytics (now called Oracle BI Suite Enterprise Edition).

While Oracle has been slow to position it as such, in our view it's ease-of-use on the one hand, and basic-level security features on the other, make this product ideal as a smaller scale solution.

If you are evaluating relational reporting tools at a departmental level, then Hyperion Interactive Reporting is certainly worth investigating.

This review will help you to better understand the feature-set and functionality of the product. In the Factbase section we score the product across a number of key criteria enabling you to quickly identify its strengths and weaknesses and gauge its suitability to your needs.

As always with The OLAP Report, this is a 100% unbiased, vendor-independent review.
