Why OTBI can be preferred choice for operational reporting

Hello All,
I am wondering that why OTBI can be preferred choice for operational reporting over OAS, OAC, OBIEE-Visual Analyzer and DVD/OAD. What features make it unique for operational reporting needs. Does it offer advantage over other and above mentioned tools with respect to cost, size (RAM/Cores/platform), ease of use, maintainability , compatibility with cloud/OCI and security from operational reporting perspective?
Thanks,
Rajneesh

Because Oracle develops and provides pre-built content on top of some its own applications so you don't start from zero with an empty slate.
Conversely you're tied to what Oracle develops and do not have the total freedom which the proper tools give you.

Thanks Christain,
OTBI can be mounted on any application for real time reporting or only selected applications ? Is this support only equi join or all kind of joins?
Thanks,

These forums are here to help people with specific issues and questions. We can't train you up from zero - that's what trainings are for and materials like the ones I put into your last post. Did you read through those? Because they answer your first question.

And I don't even know what the prupose of this question is since everything asked so far is extremely general and unspecific.

Hi Christian,
I may have different opinion and let me disagree with you, these kind of forums help to fill up gaps between theoretical and practical insights and nothing can beat interactive and constructive confrontations to derive better conclusions.
You do not need to answer each and every questions as no one on the earth is master on every tool and every aspect, however my perspective is to respect views and queries and let other answers if you are not comfortable with. You might also have to start some tool from zero or you might have traveled so far from zero.
Thanks,
Rajneesh

Well you didn't get a single reply on Difference between query tools and reporting tools because the question is also extremely vague and nobody wants to get into an endless discussion which are spawned by imprecision.

A query may appear vague due to lack of context understanding. Is there nothing to answer? Not even a little bit? For example-
There is no difference between reporting tool and query tool as terms are exchange ably used in reporting context.
Examples of query tool from on cloud perspective-
Oracle:
Self-service DV (available in OAC)
“Classic BI” (available in OAC) a.k.a. OBIEE or Oracle Analytics Server
BI Publisher (available in OAC) but can also be used ‘stand-alone’Oracle APEX
One document says- only equi joins are allowed in OTBI, however things change rapidly and have courage to discuss and eliminate assumptions.
Are you not learning from these discussions - for example your understanding was - OAS is on premise and you learnt some thing from that discussion:

Dude just because you install something in a cloud instance doesn't make it a cloud product.
I didn't "learn" anything about OAS from that thread that I didn't already know. Installing OAS on OCI was the second things that I did after its release after installing it locally.
OAS *is* an on-premises product especially in the sense that all its upkeep and lifecycle management is your problem. Contrary to cloud products.
Have fun

Customers can deploy OAS on-premises or in a private cloud. Customers can manage upgrades on their schedule and implement customization options such as custom skins/styles, metadata, messaging and more. All these views comes from an interactive discussions and difficult to get 360 degree views by reading only links/documents .
