Engineer at Raytheon Technologies

Visualization tools are optimized providing us with increased flexibility

One area that could be improved is security. Being an open source product, if you want to add security, if you want to add authentication, you've got to use a third party plugin that may or may not cost you, or alternatively upgrade to their subscription service, which is a downside as well. I think the types of visualizations are nice, but I think there's room to add more without having to go to third party plugins to do that. Just comparing the total number of visualizations that it provides compared to Grafana, you can see that it's lacking. The UI experience isn't as rich as it is with Grafana or certain other tools. I would like to see better authentication options, typical authentication options, like active directory and LDAP as well, just a richer UI with more graph type options.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Some visualization tools are optimized for time series like Kibana, which allows you to do both, and we like the flexibility of being able to analyze different types of data."

"Having a tool where you can find logs that were generated months ago, and being able to search over a long period of time, is great."

"The automatic update of the graphs from a dashboard is very convenient."

"The optimization and flexibility of visualization tools."

"The user interface is very good, and the data visualization is simple and user-friendly."

"The stability of this solution is fantastic, as it has not failed us for months and we use it extensively."

"The most valuable features of the solution are dashboarding and data visualization."

"Oracle Analytics Cloud is not very user-friendly, however, it is robust and capable of performing a wide range of tasks."

"Using this tool, we were able to forget about using Excel and keep using it as the only source of data."

"It plays a crucial role in facilitating decision-making for various organizational stakeholders."

"Oracle Analytics DV is amazing as it's giving the power to the users without involving IT."

"The best feature may be data flow, which is used to prepare and clean data."

"I've discovered that the new layout of this product makes Docker sharing, machine learning support, and data backups more efficient. Unlike the older method of linking physical, pre-logical, and presentation layers separately, the new interface simplifies this process. Additionally, the integration of databases and machine learning is seamless, with the new visualization approach being particularly beautiful and highly beneficial."

"The solution can scale."

Cons

"Security could be improved thereby avoiding the necessity of a third party plugin."

"One area that could be improved is security. Being an open source product, if you want to add security, if you want to add authentication, you've got to use a third party plugin that may or may not cost you, or alternatively upgrade to their subscription service, which is a downside as well."

"Having a kind of wizard that would help you when you are typing your search would make it easier and quicker to refine your search, and ultimately find what you are looking for."

"This solution should allow the user to combine two indices into one graph and it should provide a unique count."

"Populating data sometimes is also difficult for the user."

"The solution could be more flexible."

"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 product should be improved in terms of connectors; right now the top twenty connectors are available, but OneDrive and Teradata are missing."

"This solution could be more adaptable in its application."

"The scalability has room for improvement."

"Oracle Analytics Cloud is lacking in charts. They should add more charts to it."

"Its FAW feature has limitations in terms of usage."

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