Oracle Analytics Cloud Reviews

This product is used for reporting and visualization.

We are not using the latest version but rather, one version back.

From a financial or bank perspective, this product is secure enough.

The dashboards, analytics, visualizations, and different reports are valuable for business analytics.

The AI/ML enablement is useful, as many reporting tools do not offer machine learning models as of now, without writing customized code.

This product does not support custom charts in the visualization.

At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced.

There are a couple of other limitations. For example, many reporting tools offer good features and oracle should learn from that.

There should be tool tech enhancements.

We have been using Oracle Analytics Cloud for approximately three years.

This is a stable solution and we plan to continue using it for at least another year.

I believe that this is a scalable product.

We have been in contact with Oracle technical support and we are satisfied with it.

I have worked with many reporting tools including SAS Visual Analytics, Spotfire, and Activu.

There was no specific reason for switching to Oracle Analytics Cloud. This was a decision driven by the priorities of the moment.

The time required for deployment is almost an hour.

Deployment requires a small team of people. One from admin, another from the development team, and one more.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I am a software designer and a part of the technical team and we create the dataflows for the end-user.

The features that I find to be the most valuable are the BAS (Business Analytics), the Narrate feature, and the auto-visualization.

Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available. 

I would like to see making abbreviations as per the user's needs.

Oracle Analytics Cloud is stable.

It's a scalable product.

The technical support that we are getting from Oracle is pretty good.

Previously, I worked with Tableau, Spotfire, and SAS VA. Tableau and Spotfire are a little advanced when comparing with OACs (Oracle Analytics Cloud). The customizations and making the licenses to suit your needs is pretty easy.

The price is reasonable; it's quite a bit lower than Tableau and Spotfire.

Depending on the needs of business to business, but as far a visualizations are concerned, this is a good product. Anyone can update for Business Intelligence.

I would rate Oracle Analytics Cloud an eight out of ten.

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.

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.

I have been using this solution for about a year. We are using the most current version. 

I find the stability of this solution excellent. I haven't encountered any problems, but that would be my expectation. 

It's excellent. Its scalability is really what makes it stand out. You can on the fly increase the processing capacity of your instance for as long as you need it and then bring it back to whatever minimum setting you had. It's done on the fly with no downtime. That is very impressive. I love this.

It's very easy to set up. It's extremely easy because it's in the cloud. You spin up your instance, which takes two minutes. You can also natively connect to an autonomous data warehouse.

I've given some thought to Power BI because it's so widely used, but my area of expertise is really around or has always been around Oracle. So, it was more of a natural choice for me.

It really has everything that I want and need. It's very easy.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten. It would be nice to see swarming kind of visualizations. Other than that, it's a complete product.

We use Analytics Cloud to generate reports about data other Oracle solutions produce. 

Analytics Cloud generates reports that drive the company's strategic decision-making. 

Analytics Cloud allows you to merge various data types and structure data from multiple sources.

Analytics Cloud is highly stable

I rate Oracle Analytics Cloud 10 out of 10 for scalability.

Oracle customer service is perfect. 

Positive

Setting up Analytics Cloud was straightforward because I got help from Oracle. 

Oracle is expensive compared to tools by AWS and other cloud providers.

I rate Oracle Analytics Cloud 10 out of 10. 

I think the solution is great as is.

It is expensive so the cost could be better.

We used this solution for about one year. Oracle Analytics Cloud is more refined compared to the on-premises version of OBIEE. It's simpler to use and takes very minimal effort to set up compared to OBIEE.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution.

The technical support is excellent, and they respond quickly.

I do not know the exact costs, but enterprise customers shy away from purchasing Oracle Analytics Cloud and prefer competing solutions from Tableau and Microsoft.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten. Regarding advice, consider doing a very detailed proof of concept before purchasing.

This solution could be more adaptable in its application. 

We have used this solution for one year. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution.

The customer service and support for this solution is good. 

This solution is not that well known by clients but is a great product to use. 

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten. 

A valuable feature is the speed of the solution.

The solution could be more flexible. I faced issues with user level security administration and maintaining variables. 

The price of the solution could be lower. 

The dashboards should be more interactive. 

I have been using Oracle Analytics Cloud for two-and-a-half or three years. 

The solution is super stable.

The solution is very scalable.

Technical support is very fast and accurate.

Prior to Oracle Analytics Cloud I worked with Oracle Business Intelligence on-premises, MicroStrategy and Tableau.

As I only worked with Oracle Analytics Cloud, I cannot say which product is preferable.

The initial setup is super easy.

The solution could be more cost-effective. 

Our customers consist of enterprise companies.

My advice to others is that they start with the solution as soon as possible. They should initially start small and go from there. 

I rate Oracle Analytics Cloud as a seven out of ten. 

Our customers use Analytics Cloud, they are always E-Business Suite customers. The product is generally used for transactional data because for EBS there is no discovery support. We build Analytics on-premise or on cloud and use E-Business Suite for financials and logistics. All reports are developed using Oracle Analytics aside from the principal ones or standard reports coming from inside E-Business Suite. We generally work with enterprise size companies that use various analytics and reporting tools, not just Oracle Analytics. I'm a managing partner in a consulting firm and we are customers of Oracle.

We use Analytics because we have a model for it which can be easily customized. Implementation time can be reduced because of this. 

The interfaces could be improved and some in-memory operations could be built into Oracle Analytics. We try to supply those kinds of things using database capabilities. Oracle removed things like cookies in its integration and that caused problems with SSL. I sent the reporting EDS which required a lot of work. It was more integrated with EDS, but now it's more standalone and it bothers me because it requires additional work when customers want to upgrade. Previously, that wasn't necessary so I think those kinds of things can be improved.

I've been using this solution for three years. 

The product is stable. 

The product can be distributed so it's scalable. Our largest customer is a telecommunications company that has almost 10,000 users.

We are okay on support so we don't need to use Oracle technical support much. 

I've used Tableau and I like it. Reports are very fast and I like their interfaces and things can be inherited from or inspired from the other tools.

Installation takes two or three days if you install on-premise, it's the customer's choice whether it's installed on cloud or on-prem. The time-consuming thing is analyzing the reports and building a report for it. We have five engineers who deal with our projects. Our technical personnel are all engineers.

There is a paid license that is required and then the customer pays us for customization.

I rate this solution an eight out of 10.
