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

"Using this tool, we were able to forget about using Excel and keep using it as the only source of data."

"It's rather user-friendly."

"The best feature may be data flow, which is used to prepare and clean data."

"Analytics Cloud allows you to merge various data types and structure data from multiple sources."

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

"I've discovered that the new layout of this product makes Docker sharing, machine learning support, and data backups more efficient. Unlike the older method of linking physical, pre-logical, and presentation layers separately, the new interface simplifies this process. Additionally, the integration of databases and machine learning is seamless, with the new visualization approach being particularly beautiful and highly beneficial."

"It's valuable feature is that it is user-friendly and doesn't require much time for understanding. The solution is stable. The initial setup was straightforward."

"It's really an enterprise solution. It has a dashboard, like standard dashboarding functionality. It also has reporting capabilities for producing pixel-perfect reports, bursting large volumes of a document if you need to. It has interactive data discovery functionality, which you would use to explore your data, bring your own data, and merge it with maybe the data from an enterprise data warehouse to get new insights from the pre-existing data. It has machine learning embedded in the solution. If you're new to machine learning, it's a really good way to get into it, because it's all within this platform, and it's really easy to use."

More Oracle Analytics Cloud pros

"We were able to identify easy things, such as when a contract was loaded incorrectly."

"The flexibility of a non-IT developed solution allows for fast to market solutions."

"We have been using Qlik Sense to generate reports that have taken hours to prepare before that we are now able to update in a couple of minutes and are available to users on a centralized platform where they are able to get the required reports."

"The time it takes to deliver a dashboard is real quick."

"Unique data visualizations created based on - among others - customer reviews and hands-on experience. Qlik is an experienced company in the Business Intelligence / Data visualization area, that doesn't necessarily mean it is the best solution, however, based on my personal experience it is much more complex than Power BI and Tableau as I've had some things to do with these two concurrent softwares."

"We integrate Qlik as an EU-wide BI tool, and acceptance was never an issue due to the ease of use and user interface."

"This is amazing product takes the super features of QlikView ETL capabilities to a whole new level with its new drag and drop feature, and extension capabilities derived from the robust Qlik API."

"This solution has helped us with faster decision-making and faster data access through the mobile platform."

More Qlik Sense pros

Cons

"Enterprise customers shy away from purchasing Oracle Analytics Cloud and prefer competing solutions from Tableau and Microsoft."

"The solution could be more flexible."

"The interfaces could be improved and some in-memory operations could be built into Oracle Analytics."

"The implementation of generative AI and machine learning should improve"

"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."

"Oracle Analytics Cloud is lacking in charts. They should add more charts to it."

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

"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."

More Oracle Analytics Cloud cons

"I'd like to see more end-user-friendly UI designs."

"The support aspect could be improved, particularly in terms of response time for high-priority issues, especially when dealing with production environment client issues that require immediate attention."

"Ultra-customization: It needs no limits on which charts can have x amount of dimensions, y amount of measures, z amount of color expressions, etc."

"Better visualization options on charts such as pivot tables, and better control over total lines in the pivot and straight tables without the need to download extensions to accomplish this task."

"There are some tools like Alteryx, which are used for data preparation. These features can be built into Qlik to make the process smoother."

"Unless you pay a premium for Priority support the experience is not great."

"The solution needs to make improvements to the licensing model. They need to make it more affordable at scale, and to make it more affordable for those companies at the low end of the market as well."

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

More Qlik Sense cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive platform."

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

More Oracle Analytics Cloud pricing and cost advice

"The solution is worth it."

"The new licensing model is much better."

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

"Costs are a little high on the license/token side. However, if you look at the TCO, it is not too bad, particularly against Power BI."

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

"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."

"Know your needs when going into the purchasing decision."

"The cost is not bad considering the flexibility and support you receive from Qlik. I believe it is worth the cost."
