Featured Reviews

Enrique Pacheco Salinas - PeerSpot reviewer
Advanced analytics facilitate strategy development but demand specialized expertise and better support
Oracle Analytics Cloud is not very user-friendly, however, it is robust and capable of performing a wide range of tasks. However, skilled personnel are needed to operate it effectively due to its complexity. In addition, the brand name carries significant value as many large companies and banks are familiar with Oracle.
Sunny Nair - PeerSpot reviewer
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

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

"It has the best feature for data augmentation."
"Mobility is the most valuable feature for us. All employees can access it from anywhere. It is a big advantage for us."

"Oracle Analytics Cloud is not very user-friendly, however, it is robust and capable of performing a wide range of tasks."
"The technical support is excellent, and they respond quickly."
"Data preparation is fantastic and fast. We were able to use multiple data sources and prepare the data quickly."
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is the reporting tools."
"The way Salesforce Einstein Analytics is structured in terms of the work assignments and the user profile is very good."
"The solution scales extremely well."
"The out-of-the-box features are good for companies that want to try analytics and data science interventions."
"he most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use."
"The tool is valuable. It's one of the greatest programs I'm currently working with, and I believe it will continue to be crucial in the next four to five years. It's the future of our operations. Integrating other systems and conducting campaigns is easy. The solution relies heavily on AI."
"Transparency is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"We have found the scalability to be very good."
 

Cons

"The product could benefit from increased flexibility compared to other vendors."
"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."
"It is expensive."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"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."
"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."
"This solution could be more adaptable in its application."
"When you implement the product on a small scale, it doesn't generate any ROI."
"Better pricing would make it available to more users and we would likely use it more broadly within the organization."
"There is a learning curve associated with Salesforce Einstein Analytics, particularly since users need to learn a new language."
"The tool needs to simplify its features."
"The product must be more transparent."
"They can provide more end-user customizations. There should be the possibility for the end-users to change some elements in the interface. I have a way of doing my job. My colleague may have his own way of doing his job. If I ask for a change, it'll change for everyone. It'll be good to have some end-user personalizations. I can't see many in Salesforce right now."
"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."
"Salesforce is working very rigorously on improvements with each release."
"If a user leaves your organization, you shouldn't lose the visibility of all of the records."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"A highly cost-effective solution"
"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."
"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."
"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's pricing is generally higher than that of other vendors."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Salesforce has a subscription-based licensing structure, where it's between $20 to $75 per month, per user."
"I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"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."
