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
