Featured Reviews

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.

Business insights improve with reliable integration but face occasional system downtimes
It is difficult to integrate the modules. The customization is also a little bit complex currently, but it is getting easier as they continue improving the market. There are certain glitches, especially when the modules are upgraded or when there is a source code update, causing the entire tool to go offline. There is downtime which still affects the particular product. I would provide a reliability rating of 70%, with 30% still having scope for improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support is very fast and accurate."
"The features that I find to be the most valuable are the BAS (Business Analytics), the Narrate feature, and the auto-visualization."
"It's great for consolidation and creating one source of truth."
"The solution can scale."
"The dashboards, analytics, visualizations, and different reports are valuable for business analytics."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's most valuable feature is its visualization."
"This is a stable and scalable solution."
"The stability of the product itself by virtue of the fact that it's a cloud product and Oracle is responsible for its hosting is valuable."
"Also, the predictive analysis of the Einstein version is like artificial intelligence, it's great."
"It's scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is the reporting tools."
"The insights it provides about customers are valuable; we get insights about the market, what they are doing, and what they're planning, and it is a comprehensive solution with everything in it so I can easily find what I need."
"The tool is a cloud-based solution capable of integrating any kind of data in the world."
"Salesforce Einstein Analytics is a simplified CRM. It's integration is good."
"The out-of-the-box features are good for companies that want to try analytics and data science interventions."
"Tableau CRM is a very capable solution. It is easy to use, user-friendly, and integrates well."
 

Cons

"One area of improvement is associated with more connectors needing to be added such as Microsoft OneDrive, Teradata and a few others. I think the list is limited to the top ones now."
"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."
"When we have, for example, a table with low performance, we have several issues with drawing some graphics in the Oracle cloud."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is lacking in charts. They should add more charts to it."
"The implementation of generative AI and machine learning should improve"
"The interfaces could be improved and some in-memory operations could be built into Oracle Analytics."
"When you implement the product on a small scale, it doesn't generate any ROI."
"This solution could be more adaptable in its application."
"Einstein Analytics could incorporate something like SFIA 8 to help users understand the underlying skill sets."
"All of the timesheets and appraisal management I have not been happy with. There should be some improvements."
"If I could improve Tableau CRM I would make it as powerful as Tableau. Tableau CRM is more integrated and it's on the web, but it has less functionality. It is lacking functionality at this time."
"There are many things that have to be improved."
"When it comes to generating reports, it appears that many users rely on experts to handle technical aspects. For instance, if you require a weekly report displaying accounts transitioning in and out of your modules, it seems challenging to accomplish without consulting experts for assistance. Such tasks should be user-friendly and easily achievable without external assistance."
"There is a learning curve associated with Salesforce Einstein Analytics, particularly since users need to learn a new language."
"All of the timesheets and appraisal management I have not been happy with. There should be some improvements. For example, as a management team, our managers do not have access to see a summary report, such as who is on leave today or how many hours each person logged in. You have to get into individual users and see. You cannot see a summary report, the reporting is missing. There should improve the reports."
"There are some offerings like Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud that have very useful online learning options. There need to be more avenues for self-learning with this particular solution. That would be useful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"A highly cost-effective solution"
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's pricing is generally higher than that of other vendors."
"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."
"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."
"The product’s pricing is expensive. However, feature-wise, it fits the requirements of enterprise customers."
"It is an expensive platform."
"The biggest challenge we had was the cost and the licensing. We ended up getting an enterprise licensing agreement(ELA). That took a lot of negotiations and a lot of pressure. We were able to receive a good price for the community licensing they bundled Salesforce Einstein Analytics. They bundled a lot of capabilities with us with the ELA."
"Price-wise, Salesforce Einstein Analytics is an expensive tool."
"I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Salesforce has a subscription-based licensing structure, where it's between $20 to $75 per month, per user."
"Salesforce Einstein Analytics can be considered somewhat expensive, depending on the company's needs. If they want the complete package with all the features, it's pricier. It all comes down to what the company requires from the platform."
"The solution is expensive."
"Although it was deemed slightly expensive and failed the cost analysis we conducted in our company, we proceeded with the purchase because we desired to have a leading CRM system in the industry."
