All software acquired by Oracle. Well, not really all....but you know that many Oracle acquisitions are motivated or if the need to remove a competitor and keep their customers. 
The disappearance of Brio Intelligence Designer (a.k.a. Brio Query) is a sad story. First merged into Hyperion, then diluted into bland Oracle products.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.techrepublic.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;brioquery-helps-simplify-reporting&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.techrepublic.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;brioquery-helps-simplify...</a><p>It had a visual query designer that was easy to use for mid to advanced power users without SQL knowledge, and didn&#x27;t require the pre-join of tables as most self-service competitors do. So far I haven&#x27;t seen anything as easy and powerful at the same time.
