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.

I think the areas of SAP Analytics Cloud that could be improved or enhanced are mentioned by users or companies, and they would definitely mention the price in terms of planning licensing. From a consulting point of view, I don't see any major weaknesses. It is reasonably well-developed, and the perfect strength is that innovations are coming on a quarterly basis. It is slightly behind other tools in terms of the number of graphical outputs. Some tools have it faster, but every increment of innovations contains new features. On the other hand, it is perfectly fitting to the SAP environment, with seamless integration to all SAP modules, not only ERP but also SuccessFactors and other tools from the SAP family, for example, integrated business planning for the production planning. This is really a highlight compared to other tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Oracle Analytics Cloud is not very user-friendly, however, it is robust and capable of performing a wide range of tasks."
"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."
"Analytics Cloud allows you to merge various data types and structure data from multiple sources."
"This is a stable and scalable solution."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is more refined compared to the on-premises version of OBIEE."
"The stability of the product itself by virtue of the fact that it's a cloud product and Oracle is responsible for its hosting is valuable."
"Technical support is very fast and accurate."
"The dashboards, analytics, visualizations, and different reports are valuable for business analytics."
"All the services are available under one service, and the usability is easy with a user-friendly interface."
"We use this solution for real-time dashboards, modeling data and for predictive analytics."
"The solution is stable."
"The product's most valuable features are reporting and planning, driverless planning, business vertical-wise planning, dashboarding, forecasting tools, and business forecasting."
"The main important point which catches the eye of every business using SAP Business Data Cloud is it has a very tight integration."
"Easy to use."
"It's very user-friendly and intuitive for both the management and technical team - no matter who uses it, it's not too hard to deal with."
"The stories have really been helpful in looking at specific scenarios and analyzing trends over periods of time."
 

Cons

"Enterprise customers shy away from purchasing Oracle Analytics Cloud and prefer competing solutions from Tableau and Microsoft."
"The product should improve its user interface. It should be welcoming and modern. Developers should also find it easier to build data models. Oracle Analytics Cloud needs to have better visualizations and more options in the marketplace."
"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."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is lacking in charts. They should add more charts to it."
"When you implement the product on a small scale, it doesn't generate any ROI."
"This solution could be more adaptable in its application."
"They could improve the ease of developing the dashboard and interacting with it."
"The product should be improved in terms of connectors; right now the top twenty connectors are available, but OneDrive and Teradata are missing."
"It is slightly behind other tools in terms of the number of graphical outputs."
"Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub."
"Pricing is fine for the BI license, but when it comes to client license, that fee is a bit high."
"What I dislike about SAP Business Data Cloud is that the way they position the data products is a little confusing for users because it is fundamentally different whether you're using data products that SAP delivers."
"SAP could add more templates to the platform."
"If SAP Business Data Cloud could elaborate on some areas in the future, I could say insights are currently the default, representing your data into pie charts and chart patterns."
"The cost is an area that could be improved."
"I'm not satisfied with technical support because they're taking some time. Sometimes I think they could be faster."

"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."
"The product’s pricing is expensive. However, feature-wise, it fits the requirements of enterprise customers."

"I would rate it a five out of five in terms of the value received for the price charge."
"It is an expensive platform."
"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."

"A highly cost-effective solution"
"Compute and storage features should be sold separately."
"Its pricing is okay as compared to its competitors."
"The pricing is based on an annual license and is rated a four out of ten."
"This solution offers value for money and you get what you pay for."
