Data projects have grown rapidly and support complex analytics and quick dashboard delivery

Some things that could be improved in Oracle Analytics Cloud is definitely the way it works. In some cases, for example, if you want to create analytic functions such as the percentage of a measure over another, which is a straightforward question you might ask, it appears simple to do, but the result is not what you expect. I would make it more user-friendly in terms of creating new measures. The measure creation feature could be improved. In terms of functionality, there are not many functions that are completely missing. There is one aspect that if you compare it with Power BI from Microsoft, which works completely in memory and therefore puts everything in memory to allow many calculations on the fly on what is in memory, that is missing, but it is architecturally different and would not be possible to ask for something like that. Some time features and time series analysis functions could be improved. Calculating a year ago and previous period functions could definitely work with some improvement.

Improved AI-driven dashboards have accelerated decisions but still need better visuals and faster refresh

Absolutely, nothing is entirely positive, and everything has both advantages and disadvantages. When I worked with Qlik Sense, circular charts were not available, which meant I had to look for alternative solutions that would be reliable or make the functionality work. There are some features that need to be added. Additionally, there is a limit to the number of fields that can be added in Qlik Sense, and I believe it would be beneficial if they increased the count for fields and columns. There might be requirements where an Excel file contains many columns that need to be displayed as visual representations to clients, and in those situations, it becomes very difficult and I have to use alternative approaches. When this problem arose, I used HTML code to write a solution and make it work. Qlik Sense should avoid these types of limitations in future updates. Another issue is page resolution. If a client wants to view the dashboard on a single page without scrolling, bar charts appear small and the values in KPIs, bar charts, scatter plots, and line graphs cannot be seen very clearly. Adding more extensions to make the job easier would also be beneficial. Improvements to reporting would be helpful as well, because working with large datasets makes reporting very difficult. Additionally, when data is refreshed, it cannot be completed in a short timeframe. Refreshing very large datasets can take one, two, or even three hours, so reducing the refresh time would be very useful for customers.

More Qlik Sense pros

Cons

"At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced."

"I looked at the predictive analytics feature in Oracle Analytics Cloud, but I used it very little because, everything considered, it does not add very much."

"Its FAW feature has limitations in terms of usage."

"As with most BI tools, the visualizations can be made much nicer. Currently, it has standard visualizations. They've been adding new visualizations, but we see animated visualizations from other vendors. It would be nice to have similar visualizations, such as the swarming visualizations, which are fairly new and very popular at the moment. I haven't seen that with Oracle. That would be nice."

"We did not have a positive experience with technical support."

"The product could benefit from increased flexibility compared to other vendors."

"The price of the solution could be lower."

"One of the major issues is that Oracle Analytics Cloud is not user-friendly, requiring skilled people with proper certifications to work with it successfully."

More Oracle Analytics Cloud cons

"Technical Support: 5/10 - really needs improvement, we can't be expected to spend large amounts of money in consulting fees every time we need something, especially when you're not providing training resources."

"Making it as user friendly as possible"

"We want the next version of this solution to be cloud-based so that each user can access it from anywhere in the world with their phone, tablet, or computer without a VPN connection."

"I think Qlik Sense has a better engine than all the three that I've mentioned, but in regards to sharing the analysis, it's clunky; it's not as good."

"As we are a very process-oriented company, we would like to see more extensions maintained from Qlik, because it's a huge budget problem to choose the right one."

"One area of improvement is that it doesn't offer an API for accessing processed data stored in the QED files."

"More pivot table options, like the ability to have the totals row at the bottom of the table, would be helpful."

"Even though a huge set of learning material is available, anyone starting his/her journey on learning the software doesn't even know where to start it. The so-called Continous Classroom service is not cheap, but there are many free tutorials, they are not sorted or enlisted adequately though."

More Qlik Sense cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s pricing is expensive. However, feature-wise, it fits the requirements of enterprise customers."

"A highly cost-effective solution"

"The tool's pricing is not unreasonable or non-competitive."

"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."

"I don't know the exact cost, but its pricing was good. Its pricing was competitive. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."

"Oracle Analytics Cloud's pricing is generally higher than that of other vendors."

"I would rate it a five out of five in terms of the value received for the price charge."

"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

More Oracle Analytics Cloud pricing and cost advice

"You need to pay 5,000 Norwegian kroner per user. Microsoft Power BI is slightly more expensive than Qlik Sense."

"Ultimately, the cost is low, and it implements fast. The limiting factor is how quickly your staff can keep up."

"Qlik Sense and its pricing model can follow any scalability."

"For personal use, the desktop version of Qlik Sense is absolutely free, and you can share visualizations with others and to a personal cloud space, though limited with storage space."

"Start small with tokens. You can always buy more."

"I would rate Qlik's pricing four out of five."

"You will spend more time on educating your staff than licensing the product."

"It is the most expensive tool."
