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

"The best feature may be data flow, which is used to prepare and clean data."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud allowed us to deliver faster analytics and to have a self-secured, self-tuning, self-maintained platform."
"The technical support services are good."
"The ability to quickly search for and access relevant data is crucial."
"Data preparation is fantastic and fast. We were able to use multiple data sources and prepare the data quickly."
"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."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is more refined compared to the on-premises version of OBIEE."
"Oracle Analytics DV is amazing as it's giving the power to the users without involving IT."
"Fast access to data Rapid development Rich graphic interface"
"It's helpful, informative, user-friendly, and pretty good for analysis, with everything accumulated in one place, easy view switching, and customizable, personalizable options."
"Because data is automatically extracted from the database, users can see the operating data and charts in real-time."
"QlikView is a scalable solution that multiple users can easily use."
"It’s a great BI tool to convert raw data coming from several different sources into a dashboard full of in-depth knowledge, to do proper information analysis and make accurate decisions for the company."
"Strong visual capabilities, drill down function and data browsing."
"Our Qlikview applications help us to get a good idea of our Client Base Performance and assist us in the decision making for Seasonal Specials. On the other hand QlikView helps us to get a grasp on our Suppliers and helps us to negotiate pricing with them."
"The in-memory engine is really powerful, making it possible to deal with huge data records on the fly (more than 400 million in a table)."
 

Cons

"The implementation of generative AI and machine learning should improve"
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"The interfaces could be improved and some in-memory operations could be built into Oracle Analytics."
"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."
"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."
"It is expensive."
"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"QlikView has some superb, unique features but the desktop edition suffers from having a rather tired user interface."
"It could be more mobile friendly, as some of its features don’t work properly on mobile devices or do not provide the best user experience to our customers who would like to extend their access to data."
"It's difficult to manage big and complex data models, but the reason is that there isn't a semantic layer in QlikView, but not having a semantic layer is a good point in other aspects, like agile development."
"Sometimes it creates problem when many users log in at same time, but this also depends on your RAM capacity."
"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."
"The performance of the Qlikview website is poor as it takes three minutes to open a page."
"Self-service capability is very limited, though it has been improved in QlikSense."
"I have several lower-level users who don’t need full functionality of the tool, but do need to access more than one model. In this regard, the licensing structure is limiting and costly for a user who is not using the analytical aspects of the tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive platform."
"The product’s pricing is expensive. However, feature-wise, it fits the requirements of enterprise customers."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"A highly cost-effective solution"
"Bottom line, the cost is really, really cheap compared to other solutions. Oracle has made a huge effort on the pricing."
"The tool's pricing is not unreasonable or non-competitive."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's pricing is generally higher than that of other vendors."
"The price is reasonable; it's quite a bit lower than Tableau and Spotfire."
"Pricing is a bit too high and I think licenses should be unlimited."
"I rate QlikView's pricing a five out of ten."
"It is expensive for small companies."
"It is quite expensive, rating at around nine out of ten on a cost scale."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten."
"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."
"QlikView pricing and licensing is on the high side for a small sized company, but it's competitive among its peers."
"The pricing is moderate, in the medium price range."
