SSAS vs. Essbase Comparison

[pjohns]

Can anyone direct me to any SSAS vs. Essbase comparison documents? Or does anyone have any information to share regarding comparison of the two?

Thanks.

if your trying to research which is the better option then here are a few sites. I haven't seen Essbase in a while but I know the enhancements in SSAS 2005 make it an extremely powerful OLAP Backend. Also Hyperion has been Aquired by Oracle so depending on your DW platform that may have some impact in future releases.

There is a study called The OLAP Report. You can get some free results here. I believe there is a fee for full results.

Boy am I stupid. I must not have read MDX'er's response very well.
