Head Of Data And Ai at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
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.

Daily invoice analytics has become streamlined and complex data modeling is now simplified
We are not using analytics features and possibly predictive analytics and forecasting features in QlikView, although they are available. QlikView is very flexible, but we are currently using only tabular presentation of data because that is what we need. Presenting a large volume of data in QlikView with graphics can be overwhelming for the majority of people who want to see a lot of information in one picture. It would be beneficial to have AI or ML features in QlikView. However, I think they will decommission QlikView, and AI features are already available in Qlik Sense, so you would need to migrate to that platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Depending on the needs of business to business, but as far a visualizations are concerned, this is a good product."
"The specific capability I find important in Oracle Analytics Cloud is that it allows the basic user to easily drag and drop data. I also like that the solution allows the user to decide what to measure and what to see in the reports."
"The ability to quickly search for and access relevant data is crucial."
"The advanced calculations by the tool are highly effective"
"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."
"The product is able to compare with other tools on the market; it has everything you need, everything you can find in other tools such as Tableau and Power BI, and additionally, it has history, so you get a robust solution with support."
"The dashboards, analytics, visualizations, and different reports are valuable for business analytics."
"We use Analytics because we have a model for it which can be easily customized, and implementation time can be reduced because of this."
"Technical support is very good, with an exceptional user base."
"QlikView is an excellent reporting and data discovery tool."
"This product gave us intelligence on our business which was previously unknown."
"QlikView is flexible and allows users to create their own reports in a relatively short time."
"It has helped us to implement the accounting management system and provide a very comprehensive solution for this."
"With one of our Implementations at a mining house, we were able to save the company over $1 million, by cutting out surplus inventory."
"QlikView is extremely flexible in terms of visualization tools for communicating complex data insights."
"It excels in supporting database connections and various database types."
 

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."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"As with most BI tools, the visualizations can be made much nicer."
"When you want to scale up and improve the computing power, it becomes extremely costly."
"At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced."
"The interfaces could be improved and some in-memory operations could be built into Oracle Analytics."
"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."
"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."
"Licensing costs"
"There’s no version control, which means you can't roll back to earlier versions once overwritten/published."
"This cannot be considered a self-service product. It requires IT support."
"Usually they're not very helpful. Either we find the answer more quickly ourselves, or if we can't find the answer, they usually also can't find the answer."
"I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields."
"The performance can be improved."
"I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive platform."
"The price is reasonable; it's quite a bit lower than Tableau and Spotfire."
"I would rate it a five out of five in terms of the value received for the price charge."
"The product’s pricing is expensive. However, feature-wise, it fits the requirements of enterprise customers."
"The tool's pricing is not unreasonable or non-competitive."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's pricing is generally higher than that of other vendors."
"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."
"A highly cost-effective solution"
"It has an annual license. It is expensive as compared to other competitive tools that do more for less. In South African rands, we pay about 100,000 to 200,000 a year."
"I rate QlikView's pricing a five out of ten."
"It is not very expensive. I think it it is on par with other similar products on the market."
"Its licensing costs are moderate, but it can get expensive due to the numerous add-ons available like those for printing."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one being low price and ten being high price, I rate pricing a four."
"QlikView pricing and licensing is on the high side for a small sized company, but it's competitive among its peers."
"QlikView is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"Pricing is a bit too high and I think licenses should be unlimited."
