Featured Reviews

DavidMalizia - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Business insights improve with reliable integration but face occasional system downtimes
It is difficult to integrate the modules. The customization is also a little bit complex currently, but it is getting easier as they continue improving the market. There are certain glitches, especially when the modules are upgraded or when there is a source code update, causing the entire tool to go offline. There is downtime which still affects the particular product. I would provide a reliability rating of 70%, with 30% still having scope for improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution can scale."
"Data preparation is fantastic and fast. We were able to use multiple data sources and prepare the data quickly."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Oracle Analytics DV is amazing as it's giving the power to the users without involving IT."
"It's rather user-friendly."
"A valuable feature is the speed of the solution."
"It has the best feature for data augmentation."
"This solution is not that well known by clients but is a great product to use."
"The tool is a cloud-based solution capable of integrating any kind of data in the world."
"The ability to put together a very interactive dashboard with a very good, graphical presentation has been very helpful."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Einstein Analytics are the flexibility around the deployment, overall capabilities, user-friendliness, and interactiveness with the tools that came built with it."
"I find Salesforce Einstein Analytics valuable because it is easier to use within Salesforce."
"It's scalable."
"The way Salesforce Einstein Analytics is structured in terms of the work assignments and the user profile is very good."
"The fact that the solution is visually appealing because of its lightning interfaces can be considered one of its most valuable features"
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is the reporting tools."
 

Cons

"When we have, for example, a table with low performance, we have several issues with drawing some graphics in the Oracle cloud."
"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 interfaces could be improved and some in-memory operations could be built into Oracle Analytics."
"This solution could be more adaptable in its application."
"As with most BI tools, the visualizations can be made much nicer."
"It is expensive."
"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"Einstein Analytics could incorporate something like SFIA 8 to help users understand the underlying skill sets."
"All of the timesheets and appraisal management I have not been happy with. There should be some improvements."
"The biggest challenge we had was the cost and the licensing."
"They can add more intelligence to it, especially for the markets outside the USA."
"The product must be more transparent."
"I would advise others not to customize because they rolled out the newer versions, which are every six months. There had to be some significant testing and verification that happened. It is important to have a strong third-party provider that is very experienced. We used Deloitte, but we evaluated Accenture, KPMG, and IBM, but we decided on Deloitte and that was a good decision for us. Having a partner who has a center of excellence or experts that could give you a lot of the tips that they've learned could jumpstart your deployment and stick to the standards."
"There are certain glitches, especially when the modules are upgraded or when there is a source code update, causing the entire tool to go offline."
"The tool needs to simplify its features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 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."
"A highly cost-effective solution"
"It is an expensive platform."
"Salesforce has a subscription-based licensing structure, where it's between $20 to $75 per month, per user."
"Price-wise, Salesforce Einstein Analytics is an expensive tool."
"Although it was deemed slightly expensive and failed the cost analysis we conducted in our company, we proceeded with the purchase because we desired to have a leading CRM system in the industry."
"The solution is expensive."
"Salesforce Einstein Analytics can be considered somewhat expensive, depending on the company's needs. If they want the complete package with all the features, it's pricier. It all comes down to what the company requires from the platform."
"I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The biggest challenge we had was the cost and the licensing. We ended up getting an enterprise licensing agreement(ELA). That took a lot of negotiations and a lot of pressure. We were able to receive a good price for the community licensing they bundled Salesforce Einstein Analytics. They bundled a lot of capabilities with us with the ELA."
