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.

Data visualization has become faster and flexible and now enables quick multi-source reporting

Qlik Sense is very easy to use, but sometimes integration is a bit challenging. In our case, we wanted to integrate the cloud version of Qlik Sense, and Qlik Sense is not supporting the on-premises version, so we moved to the cloud version. We had a lot of challenges when integrating Qlik Sense SSO with the reports that we wanted to show on our web app or mobile app. There were a lot of challenges along with that, but eventually, we overcame those challenges, and things are working fine now. The integration part is one point for improvement; it could be more simple because I found some complexities with it. The single sign-on part is a little tricky and is not straightforward. We have done multiple rounds with their technical team, and although it got resolved later on, I think that it could have been better.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable features of the solution are dashboarding and data visualization."

"Technical support is very fast and accurate."

"Oracle Analytics Cloud's most valuable feature is its visualization."

"This solution is not that well known by clients but is a great product to use."

"The AI/ML enablement is useful, as many reporting tools do not offer machine learning models as of now, without writing customized code."

"A valuable feature is the speed of the solution."

"The technical support services are good."

"The solution can scale."

More Oracle Analytics Cloud pros

"The most valuable feature is the mobile platform."

"Qlik Sense has assisted my company in providing management information to users across all levels of the organization."

"The adoption of Qlik Sense has provided the business with a solid platform to build upon, moving from a silo approach to reporting through a multitude of large, static, cumbersome spreadsheets to an accessible, intuitive, powerful analytics platform capable of dealing with large volumes of data."

"We have been using Qlik Sense Enterprise for two and a half years, and it has been one of the best decisions we made."

"The visualizations are good and keep improving."

"End users can adjust their analysis with a few simple clicks."

"QlikView is highly manipulable, so you can build on top of the environment they already have to create your own solution for the problems you have."

"Ease of use and connectivity to Qlik platform products are the most valuable features."

More Qlik Sense pros

Cons

"The learning curve should be improved, and I'm uncertain if tutorials are readily available or easily accessible. We may have resorted to looking on YouTube for such information. Having easily understandable documents or guides for new users would be beneficial. AI integration would be an interesting feature to add in the next release."

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

"The pricing model in Microsoft is more straightforward. With Oracle, you have the data visualization and enterprise lines, and to put it simply, both appear as more expensive options for customers trying to get oriented in the segment."

"This product does not support custom charts in the visualization."

"When you want to scale up and improve the computing power, it becomes extremely costly."

"As with most BI tools, the visualizations can be made much nicer."

"Its machine learning and visualization capabilities can be improved. There should be more visualization options."

"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."

More Oracle Analytics Cloud cons

"So far, Qlik Sense hasn't improved much in the organization that I work for."

"I would like for it to be more of a plug and play with all of the tools and sources. It would make it much easier to use."

"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."

"I am starting to work with Qlik Sense SaaS these days. This environment has its own reporting service, however, one of the things that could be better for the people that are already using Nprinting, is to have a Nprinting in SaaS."

"I would like to see improvements in the Qlik Sense SaaS version, particularly in the front-end capabilities."

"I would like to see more types of visual elements and better configuration options for additional flexibility when developing charts."

"The QMC needs more work. Some of the features should be available directly from the hub. Too many duplicates/publish. Intelli-sense when loading a stored qvd would help so much with remembering column names. The pop-up windows are too small when working in the QMC."

"Qlik's data handling could still use some strengthening, flexibility, and overall improvement."

More Qlik Sense cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"A highly cost-effective solution"

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

"Bottom line, the cost is really, really cheap compared to other solutions. Oracle has made a huge effort on the pricing."

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

"The price is reasonable; it's quite a bit lower than Tableau and Spotfire."

"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."

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

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

More Oracle Analytics Cloud pricing and cost advice

"I believe pricing is similar to other products in the same category, if you have it on-premise."

"Qlik Sense pricing and licensing is like that of QlikView. It's on the high side for a small company, but it’s competitive among its peers. Use of licenses (referred to as tokens) is a bit confusing. There is a login access pass for infrequent or anonymous access."

"I'm not able to reveal the licensing cost for Qlik Sense, but because it was a huge deal, the cost was less than the usual cost. The license wasn't that costly. It was the infrastructure that was very costly."

"Licensing: Review the named model and move towards a usage model (e.g., cores, memory, computers, API calls, etc.)."

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

"The license mechanism of Qlik is quite complicated and not exchangeable. Such as 2016, they charge licenses by token, 1500$ for a token / 1 user. 2018: they change to 2 kinds of licenses: professional 1500$ / user, analyzer 800$ / user. 2019: they support subscription with 70$ Monthly for professional, 40$ monthly for analyzers, but for those you’re using perpetual licenses, they don't support acquiring more subscription licenses. The maintenance fee yearly are also high, 20% of the perpetual license."

"The solution is worth it."

"Currently, our ROI is clear and concise decision-making. This timely addition will easily add $15 million to our bottom line in 2017."
