Oracle unveils multi-platform BI suite By uniting Siebel's business analytics with its own tools, the software vendor now has a business intelligence suite that works on non-Oracle databases.

Four of the top BI tools in the market are Tableau, QlikView, MicroStrategy and Oracle OBIEE, according to online reviews by enterprise users in the IT Central Station community.

Oracle has quietly cut the list price of its flagship BI (business intelligence) Foundation Suite significantly, possibly in response to increased market competition.
