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.

CEO & Principal Consultant at Pyramid Analytics & Consulting
Unified data workflows have improved reporting quality and now support better decisions
The best features Pyramid Analytics offers include a broad range of features, which I think is one of the advantages of it. It has a lot of connectors and a lot of different capabilities. I would say end-to-end capabilities is one of the nice features of it. Regarding the end-to-end capabilities and lots of connectors, I found the connectors most valuable. If you are trying to do Snowflake, SQL server, or any of the normal database platforms that you see in the cloud or on-premises, it has those connectors built in. You don't have to worry about writing custom drivers. That is a nice feature to have. Pyramid Analytics has impacted my organization positively in that I use it for my clients' organizations. For my organization, it is great because it gives me a technology platform that clients enjoy using and I am proficient with. For my clients, it is about delivering on their aspirations in terms of what they want to do with their data and where they want to head in their organization. This is definitely a tool that we can use in order to get there. After implementing Pyramid Analytics for my clients, I have seen measurable outcomes and specific improvements, such as having a single platform that gets them from the raw data to the endpoint reporting. I think that streamlining has a positive effect on the quality of the outputs. The quality of the outputs definitely leads to better decision making.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is able to compare with other tools on the market; it has everything you need, everything you can find in other tools such as Tableau and Power BI, and additionally, it has history, so you get a robust solution with support."
"The technical support is excellent, and they respond quickly."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The features that I find to be the most valuable are the BAS (Business Analytics), the Narrate feature, and the auto-visualization."
"I've discovered that the new layout of this product makes Docker sharing, machine learning support, and data backups more efficient. Unlike the older method of linking physical, pre-logical, and presentation layers separately, the new interface simplifies this process. Additionally, the integration of databases and machine learning is seamless, with the new visualization approach being particularly beautiful and highly beneficial."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's most valuable feature is its visualization."
"It's rather user-friendly."
"The solution can scale."
"The best features Pyramid Analytics offers that stand out to me include the Present feature, the dynamic reporting capability, Time Intelligence, and data modeling, all of which are excellent."
"It offers a wide range of analytics options including statistics and visualizations, as well as prediction capabilities, allowing users to make forecasts based on the latest data."
"Pyramid Analytics has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to analyze sales data and identify opportunities regarding how to use the budget and where to allocate it to get more sales."
"Overall, I think Pyramid Analytics is the top visualization tool because it is easier to work with, and it has lots of features, which depends on how you are going to use it."
"I think the most valuable Pyramid Analytics feature is the solution's ability to drill down and dice in the loop. I think it is better than InExcel or Power BI."
"It proved to be a very powerful and useful tool due to its breakdown capabilities, easy reporting features, flexibility in building custom calculations, and the ability to integrate them into reports."
"Management decided to change from Power BI to Pyramid Analytics, and this decision has been very beneficial because cost is lower for hundreds of users while maintaining data security, accuracy, and reliability, leading to improved sales, acquisition of many new clients, project expansion, and better operations through consolidated agriculture activities and easier compliance reporting."
"This solution is convenient and works well with simple data sets."
 

Cons

"Its machine learning and visualization capabilities can be improved. There should be more visualization options."
"The product should be improved in terms of connectors; right now the top twenty connectors are available, but OneDrive and Teradata are missing."
"When you implement the product on a small scale, it doesn't generate any ROI."
"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."
"I looked at the predictive analytics feature in Oracle Analytics Cloud, but I used it very little because, everything considered, it does not add very much."
"This product does not support custom charts in the visualization."
"It should simplify data connectivity and modeling, making data extraction more streamlined and adaptable for diverse use cases."
"This solution could be more adaptable in its application."
"I liked that I could write my own query inside Pyramid Analytics and extract the data the way I wanted it, but I did not like that it was too complex to display just a simple report, with so many menus and sub-menus, and the calculations were a bit complex."
"Pyramid Analytics could improve by speeding up data refresh, especially for large datasets."
"I think one thing is that Pyramid Analytics can sometimes have a slow loading speed, especially with large data pools, and the interface could be much more modern."
"I think the graphic number of charts and components could be higher, at least comparable to Brain Power BI."
"Getting accustomed to the latest AI technologies is something I feel Pyramid Analytics should be able to address."
"Pyramid Analytics can be improved because some part is not used by every company still."
"One area of improvement would be on the customer success or customer support; they are not very prompt."
"Some challenges include issues with incorrect information being input, as errors could persist in Pyramid Analytics and affect data purity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."
"Bottom line, the cost is really, really cheap compared to other solutions. Oracle has made a huge effort on the pricing."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's pricing is generally higher than that of other vendors."
"I would rate it a five out of five in terms of the value received for the price charge."
"A highly cost-effective solution"
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I don't know the exact cost, but its pricing was good. Its pricing was competitive. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."
"It is an expensive platform."
"The licensing cost is not excessively expensive, but it does increase with the addition of new features and modules."
