Featured Reviews

Vaclav-Biba - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhanced analytics through metadata-driven reporting with enterprise-level visualizations enables competitive advantage
In my opinion, what can be better in Oracle Analytics Cloud these days is primarily about pricing. I am from the Czech Republic, which is our main market. The situation here in the Czech Republic is that Power BI rules the world. There are two main reasons for this. First, speaking about the Czech Republic specifically, and second, the Power BI pricing model appears cheaper compared to Oracle Analytics Cloud. The pricing model in Microsoft is more straightforward. With Oracle, you have the data visualization and enterprise lines, and to put it simply, both appear as more expensive options for customers trying to get oriented in the segment.
Rafal Zaborowski - PeerSpot reviewer
It's stable, it keeps on improving and the technical support is excellent
I think a lot of users aren't having fun using SAP because it requires putting in a lot of information by keyboard directly because it requires some coding, so this is one area for improvement. From a user point of view, SAP is a complex system where you can learn and teach, so another area for improvement in the solution is that it needs to be more user-friendly. In the next release of SAP, I want it to have a friendlier menu for its users.

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 plays a crucial role in facilitating decision-making for various organizational stakeholders."
"The specific capability I find important in Oracle Analytics Cloud is that it allows the basic user to easily drag and drop data. I also like that the solution allows the user to decide what to measure and what to see in the reports."
"The technical support services are good."
"The product is easily customized."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"A valuable feature is the speed of the solution."
"The best feature may be data flow, which is used to prepare and clean data."
"The most valuable features of SAP Lumira are the dashboards, geographical elements, and graph filtering, and the usage is similar to a website which makes it easy to use."
"The best feature is the ease of developing dashboards."
"The most value that Lumira provides is in its ability to consume the Business Objects universe."
"It is fairly easy and fast when it comes to using it."
"SAP Lumira is the best system in the world, at least in my opinion. I like that it's a stable system and that many people in my company have development experience in SAP Lumira. The solution keeps on improving and has excellent support."
"Beautiful visualizations."
"Geographic hierarchy and the ability to connect with SAP sources, such as CRM, ERP, and BW."
 

Cons

"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."
"The pricing model in Microsoft is more straightforward. With Oracle, you have the data visualization and enterprise lines, and to put it simply, both appear as more expensive options for customers trying to get oriented in the segment."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"The product could benefit from increased flexibility compared to other vendors."
"When you implement the product on a small scale, it doesn't generate any ROI."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is lacking in charts. They should add more charts to it."
"The solution could be more flexible."
"It needs the ability to drill down more. Analyzing data with Lumira at times becomes a bit difficult."
"SAP Lumira can improve if they game more capability to the end user to prepare dashboards because it's more of an IT task to create them. In Tableau, we can drag, drop, and create. However, in SAP Lumira, we need a designer and a separate KT to be able to do it well."
"Lumira uses a lot of memory resources, so the execution of dashboards is slow."
"Lumira's capabilities feel like that of a store app with the intuitiveness of a desktop app, which is not a good combination."
"It would be great to have more ETL capabilities so that the user can do more cleansing/mining on his/her side."
"It needs an easier printing feature."
"I'm not a fan of using SAP Lumira because it requires putting in a lot of information by keyboard directly because it requires some coding, so this is one area for improvement. From a user point of view, SAP Lumira is a complex system to learn and teach, so another area for improvement in the solution is that it needs to be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is not unreasonable or non-competitive."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's pricing is generally higher than that of other vendors."
"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 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."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"A highly cost-effective solution"
"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."
"In terms of cost, SAP Lumira is less affordable."
"PowerBI is way more capable at a much better price point: $10 per user without all the associated setup costs."
