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.

Improved AI-driven dashboards have accelerated decisions but still need better visuals and faster refresh

Absolutely, nothing is entirely positive, and everything has both advantages and disadvantages. When I worked with Qlik Sense, circular charts were not available, which meant I had to look for alternative solutions that would be reliable or make the functionality work. There are some features that need to be added. Additionally, there is a limit to the number of fields that can be added in Qlik Sense, and I believe it would be beneficial if they increased the count for fields and columns. There might be requirements where an Excel file contains many columns that need to be displayed as visual representations to clients, and in those situations, it becomes very difficult and I have to use alternative approaches. When this problem arose, I used HTML code to write a solution and make it work. Qlik Sense should avoid these types of limitations in future updates. Another issue is page resolution. If a client wants to view the dashboard on a single page without scrolling, bar charts appear small and the values in KPIs, bar charts, scatter plots, and line graphs cannot be seen very clearly. Adding more extensions to make the job easier would also be beneficial. Improvements to reporting would be helpful as well, because working with large datasets makes reporting very difficult. Additionally, when data is refreshed, it cannot be completed in a short timeframe. Refreshing very large datasets can take one, two, or even three hours, so reducing the refresh time would be very useful for customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The advanced calculations by the tool are highly effective"

"Analytics Cloud allows you to merge various data types and structure data from multiple sources."

"I have found that the scalability quality of Oracle Analytics Cloud works extremely well."

"Depending on the needs of business to business, but as far a visualizations are concerned, this is a good product."

"Oracle Analytics DV is amazing as it's giving the power to the users without involving IT."

"The AI/ML enablement is useful, as many reporting tools do not offer machine learning models as of now, without writing customized code."

"The solution can scale."

"This solution is not that well known by clients but is a great product to use."

More Oracle Analytics Cloud pros

"Faster time to delivery utilizing useful charts and graphs, which allows for on-demand generation of analytical data in tables, graphs, and charts."

"Now, using Apps in Qlik as a navigation tool, we are using hidden opportunities to open new markets and also to reduce costs."

"The most valuable feature of QlikSense is that you can capture the data without modifying it and then perform the ETL (extract, transform, and load) process."

"We were able to identify easy things, such as when a contract was loaded incorrectly."

"The ETL component allows us to pull from many different sources, making pulling data in easy."

"Leveraging and reusability of already existing QlikView assets and knowledge."

"Now, their reporting can be done in a more ad hoc fashion with almost instantaneous results."

"Qlik Sense has given us the ability to load large log files and provide analytics."

More Qlik Sense pros

Cons

"The product should improve its user interface. It should be welcoming and modern. Developers should also find it easier to build data models. Oracle Analytics Cloud needs to have better visualizations and more options in the marketplace."

"It should simplify data connectivity and modeling, making data extraction more streamlined and adaptable for diverse use cases."

"This product does not support custom charts in the visualization."

"The price of the solution could be lower."

"The implementation of generative AI and machine learning should improve"

"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."

"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."

"Oracle Analytics Cloud is lacking in charts. They should add more charts to it."

More Oracle Analytics Cloud cons

"The cost of the Qlik ecosystem is higher than other competitors."

"Qlik Sense could include additional features for data preparation and integration, making it easier for users to clean, transform, and integrate data from various sources."

"However, the training is not free. When you want to learn more about the tool, sometimes you need to pay for the training."

"Making it as user friendly as possible"

"The solution needs to make improvements to the licensing model. They need to make it more affordable at scale, and to make it more affordable for those companies at the low end of the market as well."

"From my point of view, the possibility for end-users to make their own reports in Qlik Sense is limited to very advanced users who have deep knowledge of the application."

"We have faced some issues with NPrinting, so I feel there is some improvement needed such that it would allow the use of variables and calculative fields from Qlik."

"Branding is not the product's strongest point. More control over the presentation colors would be great. A basic printing function would also be good. Easy connection to external tools like R Server would be nice."

More Qlik Sense cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."

"The tool's pricing is not unreasonable or non-competitive."

"A highly cost-effective solution"

"The product’s pricing is expensive. However, feature-wise, it fits the requirements of enterprise customers."

"I would rate it a five out of five in terms of the value received for the price charge."

"Bottom line, the cost is really, really cheap compared to other solutions. Oracle has made a huge effort on the pricing."

"The price is reasonable; it's quite a bit lower than Tableau and Spotfire."

"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

More Oracle Analytics Cloud pricing and cost advice

"Qlik Sense is pretty good in terms of price."

"I'm not able to reveal the licensing cost for Qlik Sense, but because it was a huge deal, the cost was less than the usual cost. The license wasn't that costly. It was the infrastructure that was very costly."

"Licensing is quite good, easy, but slightly expensive."

"I believe pricing is similar to other products in the same category, if you have it on-premise."

"Qlik Sense and its pricing model can follow any scalability."

"For personal use, the desktop version of Qlik Sense is absolutely free, and you can share visualizations with others and to a personal cloud space, though limited with storage space."

"The cost is not bad considering the flexibility and support you receive from Qlik. I believe it is worth the cost."

"It is a little expensive for the Italian market. Normally, Qlik Sense has two types and costs. The medium cost is around 700 euros per year."
