Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in Reporting."Dashboards and self-service reports. These are widely used by customers in the EPM domain."
"The technical support is excellent, and they respond quickly."
"The product is easily customized."
"Data preparation is fantastic and fast. We were able to use multiple data sources and prepare the data quickly."
"The technical support services are good."
"The features that I find to be the most valuable are the BAS (Business Analytics), the Narrate feature, and the auto-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 great for consolidation and creating one source of truth."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's most valuable feature is its visualization."
"Customer support takes lot of time to get a solution."
"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."
"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."
"Its machine learning and visualization capabilities can be improved. There should be more visualization options."
"When you implement the product on a small scale, it doesn't generate any ROI."
"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."
"It's not a failure of the product; it's just an architectural choice. It has to do with data modeling. I'm comparing this to another product, which is Oracle's developer client and probably called Oracle BI Developer Client Tool. The data modeler, which is cloud-based, and Oracle BI Developer Client Tool, which is local or on-premises-based, both can do the same thing in data modeling. However, the cloud tool does not have as many features as the Oracle BI Developer Client Tool, which is closest to the OBIEE Administration Tool with full feature data modeling, metadata development, and so forth. In a complex environment or implementation, that is the capability that you need."
"When we have, for example, a table with low performance, we have several issues with drawing some graphics in the Oracle cloud."
"Analytics Cloud allows you to merge various data types and structure data from multiple sources."
