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

"This solution will connect to any database, you can combine databases, and you can create a cube or tabular model."

"I like that it's integrated with other Azure products."

"The Cube Solution is quite different when compared to the rest of the competition and has unique functionality for advanced analytics."

"It is closely integrated with other products in the MS portfolio."

"This is a well-integrated solution and that integration empowers results."

"Helps our customers to discover trends, which provides useful information based on their business."

"We leverage its capabilities for many applications. We can integrate with our databases, like Oracle, MySQL, or any other, using Microsoft Integration Services."

"Microsoft Analytics Platform System's most valuable feature is its ecosystems and seamless integration with other Microsoft reporting platforms and databases."

"It is a very stable tool...It is an extremely scalable tool."

"I loved the simplicity of loading the data and simply relying on the self-tuning capabilities of ADW."

"The solution has a self-backup, so you don't need a DBA (database administrator) to do a backup."

"With Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse, things are much simpler. Creating a structure, initializing the servers, extending the servers, those are all things that are very, very easy. That's the main reason we use it."

"I really like the auto-tuning, auto-scaling, and the automatic load balancing and query tuning in the system."

"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is used globally to deliver extreme performance on large Financial data sets."

"It is an extremely scalable solution since you can dynamically change the resources as some other cloud solutions."

"The product is easy to use."

Cons

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

"Microsoft Analytics Platform System could have better support."

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

"Hybrid environments are complex to manage."

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

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

"The pricing model needs to be improved."

"I think the biggest problem with the product is that it does a data ingest model, which is very expensive."

More Microsoft Analytics Platform System cons

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

"One of the major problem is creating custom tablespace. The ADB serverless option doesn't support custom tablespace creation, which could cause issues during on-premise database migration that requires specifically named tablespace. There should be an option to create customized tablespace."

"The solution lacks visibility options."

"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."

"A lot of the tools that were previously there have now been taken away."

"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."

"I would like to see an on-premise solution in the future."

"The setup is complex."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"You pay as you go, and you don't pay for services that you don't use."

"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."

"We pay approximately $70,000 per month. The cost includes maintenance and support."

"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."

"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."

"The solution's cost is reasonable."
