Analytics features have improved our reporting workflows and support data‑driven decisions
The feature is called Oracle R Enterprise, and I have not worked with it. I have not used Oracle Enterprise. I am hearing about it for the first time. We have not used machine learning. We do not work with it for creating any data models from machine learning. My overall rating for this product is 8.

Data management has become faster and clearer but integration and large data handling still need work
SAS Analytics needs to improve for entry-level people in my college because buying licenses is somewhat costly for small businesses. SAS Analytics is also somewhat complex for students who are entering the data field. Additionally, SAS Analytics is not good at integration with other environments, so it should improve on that, and some syntaxes are not good. SAS Analytics has an older architecture in some areas, so it should enhance the UX side and performance in some aspects. SAS Analytics documentation should improve to be clearer for students who are currently using or trying to use SAS Analytics, so the documentation should be simplified. Customer service is pretty good as of now, as they respond in two to four hours on business days, but faster response times may solve many problems and attract more users. I rate SAS Analytics seven or eight out of ten. SAS Analytics should improve in massive data handling, as I mentioned earlier. SAS Analytics struggles when it handles massive data, and it should also get top-tier support. The support should improve from two to four hours down to one hour or even thirty minutes. SAS Analytics should also offer more low-code options for those who do not know how to code or to save more time, and they should consider reducing their pricing. Currently, SAS Analytics has limited flexibility and very limited integration, so improvements in those areas are necessary. SAS Analytics student version does not handle long or lengthy data well right now, so it should improve on that point. As I have mentioned, it struggles with larger data sets, but for current small or medium data sets, it is very good. Customer support should improve to fifteen to thirty minutes or immediate live agents during business hours. The two to four hours wait can sometimes take more than one day, and that does not make sense. We have to stop all our work until they reply if we encounter critical problems, so they should improve for certain.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Oracle Advanced Analytics helps us to steer the company, to create centralized reports and dashboards so that we're all using the same information, and we're not relying that much on Excel and different custom reporting solutions."
"Easy to use, simple, with a quick learning curve."
"Oracle Advanced Analytics effectively prevents threats and helps maintain a secure network environment."
"Ability to pull together multiple sources of information."
"We have used Oracle Data Miner, which has a drag-and-drop interface that creates the workflow and is easy to use to build workflow-based modeling."
"Oracle Data Mining provides a powerful functionality as it enables users to discover new insights hidden in data."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to pull together multiple sources of information and the tools are easy to use which is the main factor."
"When it comes to data mining, I am acquainted with most or all of the Oracle tools and have had a positive experience with them."
"I like that it is quickly embedding interactive reports and dashboards into a website, Outlook Mail, or even a mobile app."
"SAS Analytics is a very versatile and comfortable tool and it is powerful because I can work with data from many millions of records, big data with SAS Analytics in a short time versus other software."
"The technical support is okay."
"It is able to connect to all major platforms, and all the smaller platforms that I have come across."
"Modeling ones and figures, such as PROC LIFETEST, PROC LOGISTICS, PROC GPLOT. PROC FREQ and PROC MEANS, are also among the valuable features."
"It has improved the level of efficacy and validity of our reports, and this has also extended to the area of customer service and relations."
"I think that the cost-benefit ratio is okay, it is the right balance."
"The team immediately resolves the issues."
 

Cons

"There are some transactions we have not been able to find through the dashboard."
"From my perspective, there is sometimes room for improvement in advanced analytics, especially if the data is large, then it shows some performance issues."
"I would like to see an improvement in the ease of implementing customized data sources and the like."
"One area for product improvement is the user experience, particularly when navigating through screens."
"It is not a really easy product to use, so you have to do a lot of configuration."
"Since a separate Oracle database is needed, the data loading and cleansing the raw data can be a time consuming process."
"The performance, scalability and queries should be addressed, as well as the data distribution of certain data techniques."
"Basic capabilities, less professional than would be expected from a company dealing with databases as a core business."
"SAS Analytics struggles when it handles massive data, and it should also get top-tier support."
"With SAS Analytics, I find that the graphs are very poor, and since I use Power BI, I think SAS Analytics needs to enhance the visualization options to do better visualizations."

"The natural language querying and automated preparation of dashboards should be improved."
"One of the things that can be simplified is self-service analytics, especially for a citizen developer or a citizen data scientist."
"SAS is very expensive. The challenge with them is that you have to pay for a license with every module you buy."
"The graphing and visualization features could be enhanced, in my opinion. I would especially stress improving the visualization capabilities."
