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.

Daily invoice analytics has become streamlined and complex data modeling is now simplified
We are not using analytics features and possibly predictive analytics and forecasting features in QlikView, although they are available. QlikView is very flexible, but we are currently using only tabular presentation of data because that is what we need. Presenting a large volume of data in QlikView with graphics can be overwhelming for the majority of people who want to see a lot of information in one picture. It would be beneficial to have AI or ML features in QlikView. However, I think they will decommission QlikView, and AI features are already available in Qlik Sense, so you would need to migrate to that platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"I have found that the scalability quality of Oracle Analytics Cloud works extremely well."
"It has the best feature for data augmentation."
"Mobility is the most valuable feature for us, as all employees can access it from anywhere, which is a big advantage for us."
"The features that I find to be the most valuable are the BAS (Business Analytics), the Narrate feature, and the auto-visualization."
"Using this tool, we were able to forget about using Excel and keep using it as the only source of data."
"The scalability is acknowledged as pretty good, although my evaluation is limited because I used the tool for a short period."
"Easy, low-TCO solution to consolidate and visualise data for analysis and reporting purposes."
"It has an associative data exploration feature and can handle one hundred million lines of data and provide good performance."
"Customer Service: 10/10 - it's perfect, very fast and very good support."
"It’s an easy way to create dashboards with minimal training."
"We have enabled a user self service reporting capability supported minimally by IT for linking and sourcing of data."
"It is a great product that is easy to learn."
"QlikView Desktop Enterprise allows us to build dashboard visualizations in a fashionable way and allows us to make quick business decisions all over the enterprise."
"You can do a lot of things on the back end which are not possible in the other solutions on the market."
 

Cons

"The solution could be more flexible."
"At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced."
"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."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"The product should be improved in terms of connectors; right now the top twenty connectors are available, but OneDrive and Teradata are missing."
"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."
"They could improve the ease of developing the dashboard and interacting with it."
"It should simplify data connectivity and modeling, making data extraction more streamlined and adaptable for diverse use cases."
"The tool involves too much programming when compared to other tools."
"For me, it is important to have a mix, what is the "view" and what is the "sense", Qlik Sense. They have two tools, but for me it is important to have only one tool, which combines the functions that we have from one side and the other side."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"Still need to spend time designing the Data Warehouse behind this tool to facilitate user self service model."
"I would like to see improvements to scheduled reporting and the capability to email the user."
"The licensing scheme leaves a lot of room for improvement. I believe it is cumbersome and expensive to maintain."
"Performance sometimes is a concern. Occasionally, it hangs while running a script and it bounces out."
"Implement security model for a document can be difficult and slow to implement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable; it's quite a bit lower than Tableau and Spotfire."
"The product’s pricing is expensive. However, feature-wise, it fits the requirements of enterprise customers."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."
"I would rate it a five out of five in terms of the value received for the price charge."
"The tool's pricing is not unreasonable or non-competitive."
"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 setup costs for QlikView are fair as are the yearly maintenance fees. The licensing becomes a bit more expensive and requires some planning for onboarding."
"It is quite expensive, rating at around nine out of ten on a cost scale."
"QlikView is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten."
"Its licensing costs are moderate, but it can get expensive due to the numerous add-ons available like those for printing."
"Qlik is fairly high in terms of pricing."
"It is not very expensive. I think it it is on par with other similar products on the market."
"Pricing is a bit too high and I think licenses should be unlimited."
