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.

It's stable, it keeps on improving and the technical support is excellent
I think a lot of users aren't having fun using SAP because it requires putting in a lot of information by keyboard directly because it requires some coding, so this is one area for improvement. From a user point of view, SAP is a complex system where you can learn and teach, so another area for improvement in the solution is that it needs to be more user-friendly. In the next release of SAP, I want it to have a friendlier menu for its users.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It's great for consolidation and creating one source of truth."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"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."
"Mobility is the most valuable feature for us, as all employees can access it from anywhere, which is a big advantage for us."
"This is a stable and scalable solution."
"The technical support is excellent, and they respond quickly."
"The ability to quickly search for and access relevant data is crucial."
"It provides better, more robust ability to visualize data than in Excel or some of the other desktop tools that are out there, providing users the ability to identify actionable trends in their data sets that they normally wouldn't see, like in a spreadsheet or tabular data, a report."
"I would recommend using SAP Lumira because the development of dashboards is easy, and they have a good look and feel."
"It seemed to be fairly user friendly."
"Within an hour or so, we had actually a better visualization of the data."
"We chose it because of its ability to have a selection of data from various sources, and it's an easy reporting tool for business analysts to use."
"The dynamic creation of dashboards and the quick visualization is the key feature."
"The most value that Lumira provides is in its ability to consume the Business Objects universe."
"I think rapid development, geospatial coding, using it to connect to multiple data sources are all good selling points for it."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"When you implement the product on a small scale, it doesn't generate any ROI."
"Its machine learning and visualization capabilities can be improved. There should be more visualization options."
"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."
"At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced."
"We definitely encountered issues with stability. We found a lot of bugs throughout the amount of time that we've been using the product."
"It needs the ability to drill down more. Analyzing data with Lumira at times becomes a bit difficult."
"I would look at the geospatial part of it which doesn't seem work well as when you look at converting that for your maps, it is a little cumbersome, and it's not as accurate."
"Lumira's capabilities feel like that of a store app with the intuitiveness of a desktop app, which is not a good combination."
"It needs an easier printing feature."
"Lumira was very useful for me, but now I have more needs, and I have to move faster because I am responsible for a lot of data, and a lot of information that I have to provide to the directors and VPs."
"An area of improvement, for sure, is the flexibility of the visualization."
"It would be great to have more ETL capabilities so that the user can do more cleansing/mining on his/her side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."
"The tool's pricing is not unreasonable or non-competitive."
"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."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"I would rate it a five out of five in terms of the value received for the price charge."
"The price is reasonable; it's quite a bit lower than Tableau and Spotfire."
"PowerBI is way more capable at a much better price point: $10 per user without all the associated setup costs."
"In terms of cost, SAP Lumira is less affordable."
