Interactive analytics has revealed territory gaps and now needs simpler, more conversational guidance
I think whenever you're using these tools, you want it to be as conversational as possible, and I think more of that would be helpful for Heavy.AI. Allowing you to ask questions on how to do things inside of Heavy.AI and have it actually show you how to do it as you're doing it would be beneficial. That way you don't have to spend a lot of time trying things out through trial and error. Trial and error can be helpful because you're learning it that way, but at the same time, when you're just trying to do things quickly and you're not a professional or a user that uses it all the time, you might not have that. So you want to be able to get that information quickly and easily. Some aspects I didn't like, but some of it's just like, "of course not." I wish I could snap my fingers and have everything be perfect, but that's not realistic. The infrastructure is probably fairly expensive. I can't afford to do that. I would need my business, the company that I work for to do it for us. Otherwise I can't really do it. It's just expensive. I did feel that it was pretty easy to use, but I'm a little bit more experienced than the average person, so maybe someone less technical like my colleagues would struggle initially to figure it out. I think maybe enhancing the user-friendliness for people that are not coders, just kind of setting up the workflows and things so it's just easier would help. It seems to be more purpose-built for spatial stuff, for location plus time and things, but general purpose BI is kind of an important thing. I don't think people were actually taking advantage of that, and when they're not doing that, it creates a little bit of trouble.

Rapid deployment has simplified backend work and supports independent database management
We did not use the replication or inbuilt replication from Oracle Java DB. We have separate core functions to replicate the database and migrate the database. We are not using the inbuilt encryption of Oracle Java DB. We are using encryptions such as AES. We are currently using these to encrypt the sensitive data. We encrypt not only passwords but mostly all the data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We did see a saving of time and cost because we had a one-stop shop where we could access GPU utilization along with plotting of geographical data."
"Heavy.AI being able to do these things without having that background was powerful for me."
"It has a programming language so anything that we require for Selenium is all available there."
"The stability is awesome because it is all supported by Oracle database and Oracle relational database management system, which watches very carefully all the processes that are running, making it very stable and very secure."
"It's very clever."
"Using this product will lead to a reduction in operational costs."
"Running queries is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The valuable features include connecting to the database and retrieving data."
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"This is a fairly stable language, and it's been in the market for several years."
 

Cons

"Heavy.AI can be improved since it is a very large and comprehensive tool. For someone who does not have expertise in the tool, they will struggle somewhat, so I think it could be made easier for people."
"My experience with that was expensive to do for myself, so I had to get the company to sort of allow me to do it for Heavy.AI."
"Needs improvement in consistency issues with respect to timeframes."
"With respect to the product's consistency, there's a lot of scope that could be introduced in regulator basis."
"The solution should continue to keep updating and improving the Java language."
"The tool might be integrated, but we see performance issues because of overhead."
"In terms of improvement, I'd like an automation tool that is lower priced. The core prices are very high."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"It'll be better if Oracle Java supports open source technologies, like Node.js."
"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using Oracle products is vendor lock-in."
