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.

More Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse pros

Cons

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

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

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

"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."

"Microsoft Analytics Platform System could have better support."

"The pricing model needs to be improved."

"Hybrid environments are complex to manage."

More Microsoft Analytics Platform System cons

"It is very important the integration with other platforms be made to be as easy as it is with an on-premises deployment."

"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."

"We are not satisfied with the technical support. Their understanding is lacking."

"The setup is complex."

"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."

"The solution could be improved by allowing for migration tools from other cloud services, including migration from Amazon Redshift, RDS, and Aurora."

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

"It doesn't work well when you have unstructured data or you need online analytics. It is not as nice as Hadoop in these aspects."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

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

"The solution is expensive."

"The cost is perfect with Oracle Universal credit."

"ROI is high."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"The price depends on the configuration we choose."
