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.

Cons

"Releases of new products and functionality is never accompanied by associated documentation, training and resources that adequately explain the release."

"Functionality needs to be more up-to-date with competing products."

"Machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities need to be more friendly for beginning users."

"Microsoft Analytics Platform System could have better support."

"We need better real-time analytics capabilities. It's a bit challenging for us."

"The pricing model needs to be improved."

"Hybrid environments are complex to manage."

"The flexibility of this solution needs to be improved because you cannot make changes at every one of the different steps."

More Microsoft Analytics Platform System cons

"The setup is complex."

"My main suggestion for Oracle is the configuration and key values that come for JSON files. When we create a table, especially if you see in our RedShift or some other stuff, if I create a table on top of a JSON file with multiple array columns or superset columns, those column values create some difficulty in Oracle."

"Optimization should be 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."

"The initial setup was pretty complex. It was not easy."

"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is not available as an on-premises solution."

"Ease of connectivity could be improved."

"Sometimes the solution works differently between the cloud and on-premises. It needs to be more consistent and predictable."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Users have to pay extra for premium-level technical support."

"I rate Microsoft Analytics Platform System a seven out of ten for pricing."

"The initial price is lower than Oracle, but extensive use of SQL may lead to a higher total cost of ownership."

"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."

"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 cost is perfect with Oracle Universal credit."

"Cloud solutions are cheaper, but in the long run, they may not be much cheaper. They certainly have a lower initial cost. The licensing is yearly, and it is based on the size of the hardware and the number of users."

"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse's pricing is fair and reasonable compared to the other cloud vendors."

"ROI is high."

"The solution is 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."

"The solution's cost is reasonable."
