Data projects have grown rapidly and support complex analytics and quick dashboard delivery
Some things that could be improved in Oracle Analytics Cloud is definitely the way it works. In some cases, for example, if you want to create analytic functions such as the percentage of a measure over another, which is a straightforward question you might ask, it appears simple to do, but the result is not what you expect. I would make it more user-friendly in terms of creating new measures. The measure creation feature could be improved. In terms of functionality, there are not many functions that are completely missing. There is one aspect that if you compare it with Power BI from Microsoft, which works completely in memory and therefore puts everything in memory to allow many calculations on the fly on what is in memory, that is missing, but it is architecturally different and would not be possible to ask for something like that. Some time features and time series analysis functions could be improved. Calculating a year ago and previous period functions could definitely work with some improvement.

Posit can be improved as they are constantly listening to our feedback; currently, we have Databricks and Snowflake support, and we have been trying to ask for more in the LLM space, as previously only Anthropic and GitHub were available, and now we see AWS Bedrock has been added. They continue to engage with the user community across multiple customers and keep adding features. If they keep progressing in this innovation space, it would be fantastic for a company Posit to adopt more Posit. An improvement needed for Posit that I haven't mentioned yet is possibly providing more user-level training for vendors such as us; not just monthly, but at least quarterly deep dives into their features would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Mobility is the most valuable feature for us, as all employees can access it from anywhere, which is a big advantage for us."
"Analytics Cloud allows you to merge various data types and structure data from multiple sources."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is not very user-friendly, however, it is robust and capable of performing a wide range of tasks."
"Oracle Analytics DV is amazing as it's giving the power to the users without involving IT."
"The specific capability I find important in Oracle Analytics Cloud is that it allows the basic user to easily drag and drop data. I also like that the solution allows the user to decide what to measure and what to see in the reports."
"We use Analytics because we have a model for it which can be easily customized, and implementation time can be reduced because of this."
"A valuable feature is the speed of the solution."
"This is a stable and scalable solution."
"I would say instead of a cost savings, Posit has provided revenue generation."
"The most valuable feature of Posit is that it allows users to host different models in one place, making it easy to share with colleagues and teammates."
"Posit has significantly increased the productivity of our team by allowing us to incorporate AI tools and other computational tools to reduce the stress and workload of scientists so that they can continue to do science without having to worry about organization and structure."
"Posit has positively impacted my organization by definitely increasing the productivity of data scientists, saving a lot of time, and moving all biostatisticians and data scientists from their desktop to the cloud, which helps scale their work and collaborate to achieve better results for the company overall."
"Posit has positively impacted my organization, which is actually a customer I support."
"I have seen a return on investment because Posit is the standard in the field for coding in R and deploying applications like Shiny apps, so a lot of time is saved with a very quality product."
"Overall, I think Posit is a stable product."
"I have found Posit’s integration with R, such as the autocomplete feature and the help panel, to be invaluable."
 

Cons

"One of the major issues is that Oracle Analytics Cloud is not user-friendly, requiring skilled people with proper certifications to work with it successfully."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"It is less scalable than Snowflake."
"As with most BI tools, the visualizations can be made much nicer. Currently, it has standard visualizations. They've been adding new visualizations, but we see animated visualizations from other vendors. It would be nice to have similar visualizations, such as the swarming visualizations, which are fairly new and very popular at the moment. I haven't seen that with Oracle. That would be nice."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is lacking in charts. They should add more charts to it."
"The solution could be more flexible."
"Its FAW feature has limitations in terms of usage."
"They could improve the ease of developing the dashboard and interacting with it."
"An improvement needed for Posit that I haven't mentioned yet is possibly providing more user-level training for vendors such as us; not just monthly, but at least quarterly deep dives into their features would be beneficial."
"One of the downsides of using Posit Connect was the need for licenses for each individual user."
"The version control of Posit is not very good, and there are so many updates coming from Posit."
"Posit has its Jupyter Notebook-based interface, which can be improved significantly."
"Posit could have better integrations with a couple of components."
"Customer support for Posit is responsive but sometimes slow. I encounter delays when quick responses are needed for urgent issues."
"I would like to see improvements in SSH capabilities."
"Posit lacks a smooth solution for the build and release pipeline, requiring duplicate effort for production transitions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle Analytics Cloud's pricing is generally higher than that of other vendors."
"The tool's pricing is not unreasonable or non-competitive."
"I would rate it a five out of five in terms of the value received for the price charge."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Bottom line, the cost is really, really cheap compared to other solutions. Oracle has made a huge effort on the pricing."
"A highly cost-effective solution"
"It is an expensive platform."
"The price is reasonable; it's quite a bit lower than Tableau and Spotfire."
