Offers smooth data integration between systems, but requires better real-time analytics capabilities
We leverage its capabilities for many applications. We can integrate with our databases, like Oracle, MySQL, or any other, using Microsoft Integration Services. This lets us continue using private databases without paying additional licensing fees. Additionally, the license includes Analytics services and Power BI, which work on-premises, unlike most other technologies that require cloud solutions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that it's integrated with other Azure products."
"We help customers in many ways from customized analysis for detection of anomalies in tax, operations, customer relationship, and marketing campaigns, and we also use mining and ML to help them discover trends, which provides useful information based on their business."
"This is a well-integrated solution and that integration empowers results."
"We leverage its capabilities for many applications. We can integrate with our databases, like Oracle, MySQL, or any other, using Microsoft Integration Services."
"Helps our customers to discover trends, which provides useful information based on their business."
"It is closely integrated with other products in the MS portfolio."
"By combining both Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse (PDW) and unstructured Hadoop analytical capabilities in a single, easy-to-manage EDW appliance, Microsoft APS is well positioned to help organizations use information to enhance their competitive position."
"The Cube Solution is quite different when compared to the rest of the competition and has unique functionality for advanced analytics."
"It is a very stable tool...It is an extremely scalable tool."
"The solution is used for analytics and it works for our data security needs."
"It is an extremely scalable solution since you can dynamically change the resources as some other cloud solutions."
"The solution integrates well with Power BI."
"I loved the simplicity of loading the data and simply relying on the self-tuning capabilities of ADW."
"Amazing performance, it is a revolution."
"One advantage is that if you already have an Oracle Database, it easily integrates with that."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
 

Cons

"However, centralized EDW tends to be extremely expensive and very inflexible."
"Microsoft Analytics Platform System could have better support."
"In general, I am not really very satisfied with the tutorials that are out there."
"On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate this product overall as a five. This is probably because there is still a lot of room for improvement, features that other products have that are missing, and a lot of open-source technology nowadays that are very good and people can use instead."
"Functionality needs to be more up-to-date with competing products."
"The flexibility of this solution needs to be improved because you cannot make changes at every one of the different steps."
"​Hybrid environments are complex to manage."
"Machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities need to be more friendly for beginning users."
"An improvement for us would be the inclusion of support for an internal IP, so we could use it directly with the VCN in Oracle Cloud."
"Optimization should be better."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is not available as an on-premises solution."
"I would like to see Application Express and Oracle R Enterprise fully supported, and I would like to see Oracle Data Mining supported as a front end."
"The solution lacks visibility options."
"The installation process is complex. Oracle can make the installation process better."
"There is a need for more storage to be allocated, but over a period of time, it becomes impossible to reduce it after using it."
"We are not satisfied with the technical support. Their understanding is lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The initial price is lower than Oracle, but extensive use of SQL may lead to a higher total cost of ownership."
"I rate Microsoft Analytics Platform System a seven out of ten for pricing."
"Users have to pay extra for premium-level technical support."
"We are currently paying $200,000 a year for all the different parts of the suite during an ingest model Microsoft now charges us $700,000 a year."
"The cost is perfect with Oracle Universal credit."
"The solution is expensive."
"ROI is high."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing an eight."
"In terms of architecture and pricing structure, I feel it is a little bit costly compared to Azure. It's fine compared to RedShift, but compared to Azure, it's a bit pricey when you calculate for one TB storage plus around five hours of reporting with the frequency of 1TB data. The cost adds up, making Oracle a bit expensive."
"The licensing cost of the product can vary since you can integrate it very easily with other products or other cloud products...You pay as you use it, so it is not yearly or monthly payments to be made toward Oracle."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse's pricing is fair and reasonable compared to the other cloud vendors."
"The price depends on the configuration we choose."
