Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to quickly search for and access relevant data is crucial."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's most valuable feature is its visualization."
"It's valuable feature is that it is user-friendly and doesn't require much time for understanding. The solution is stable. The initial setup was straightforward."
"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. All employees can access it from anywhere. It is a big advantage for us."
"A valuable feature is the speed of the solution."
"The advanced calculations by the tool are highly effective"
"Data preparation is fantastic and fast. We were able to use multiple data sources and prepare the data quickly."
"We use the solution for financial and sales analytics. It brings data from our IT incident management tool. Hence, we have three business use cases for IT support, sales and financials."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."
"It provides insights into leads, information about the team and about various sales activities. The graphical representations in the form of charts is excellent."
"The data source is the most valuable feature as it can perform any function."
"Zoho Analytics is the best software for giving reports to customers and we can create any report that is required."
"Ask Zia is a great feature that I use to quickly decide what improvements I need to make in order to present the data that I want to show."
"We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports."
 

Cons

"At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced."
"It is expensive."
"The migration of older dash tools from the classic interface of Oracle BI prior to OAS launch to the newer Data Visualization and Oracle Analytics Cloud interfaces, including dashboards and metadata, is currently a cumbersome process. Improvements in this area would be highly beneficial. Additionally, the administration of the cloud, particularly the startup of services and linking of the WebLogic server and integrated components, takes longer than desired. In today's enterprise landscape, waiting forty minutes for the server to be operational is quite lengthy; ideally, this process should take a maximum of four minutes. It would be excellent to incorporate metadata management as an integral part of the Oracle Analytics Cloud. When dealing with integrated data from various sources, tracking data lineage and the entire data life cycle, from sources to report development and the mapping of reports to specific dashboards, should be seamlessly managed within the Oracle Analytics Cloud. This would eliminate the need for additional tools. Drawing a comparison, tools like Tableau have a feature enabling metadata management, making it easier to trace the complete data lineage of reports. Managing over seven hundred and thirty-six business dashboards, the metadata management capability within Tableau simplified the process of understanding how reports were developed, including details like associated tables, users, linked views, materialized views, data segmentations, ETL jobs, and the data warehouse stages. Enhancing metadata tracking within the Oracle Analytics Cloud layout would facilitate easy and practical management of the complete data life cycle, encompassing user accessibility and report permissions."
"The implementation of generative AI and machine learning should improve"
"When we have, for example, a table with low performance, we have several issues with drawing some graphics in the Oracle cloud."
"The product could benefit from increased flexibility compared to other vendors."
"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."
"One area of improvement is associated with more connectors needing to be added such as Microsoft OneDrive, Teradata and a few others. I think the list is limited to the top ones now."
"There should be more types of graphics available for use in the reports."
"The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times."
"The improvement needed is regarding the number of API calls. Currently, Zoho Analytics only allows us to update data hourly. It would be much better to have updates more frequently every half an hour."
"In terms of improvement, they have a limited number of graphs available in their store. They should come up with more graph style forms. They should have more charts and at the same time, you can't create panels like with Microsoft BA."
"The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support."
"The support for Zoho Analytics is pathetic."
"The tool needs to improve analysis and add more features."
"There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate it a five out of five in terms of the value received for the price charge."
"It is an expensive platform."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's pricing is generally higher than that of other vendors."
"The product’s pricing is expensive. However, feature-wise, it fits the requirements of enterprise customers."
"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."
"The tool's pricing is not unreasonable or non-competitive."
"Bottom line, the cost is really, really cheap compared to other solutions. Oracle has made a huge effort on the pricing."
"A highly cost-effective solution"
"I rate the tool's pricing seven out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly."
"The tool's pricing is similar to other Zoho applications and is affordable."
"The product's licensing is reasonable."
"The price is high. The solution advertises that it provides products for 55 AED per user, but these products contain only the basic features. Most of the features are locked. The version of the product that includes Zoho Analytics costs around 199 AED per user per month."
"For one license the pricing is about $35 a user."
"An exact ROI is hard to calculate. However, we have definitely made sales that would have been much harder, or unlikely, as a result of the speed with which we were able to prepare comprehensive analysis."
"The product is expensive."
"It is very reasonable, and it gives me a good return on investment. Compared to other tools, it is the best choice in terms of pricing."
