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.
Wiboon Thabsuwan - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps businesses save time and offers good integration features
I would say that using Sisense on Linux's platform might not be advantageous for everyone. I am more familiar with Windows than Linux. With Windows, the system performs very fast. Even if your data size consists of like 10,00,00,000 loads or whatever, it works very fast. When using Sisense, it is better to have some people with a very good understanding of Linux. I need more technical people who understand about Linux OS. Only two people would be enough to operate the tool.

"No issues with stability. It is a very stable solution."
"The best part about this solution is how easy it is to mash up the data from many sources. Sisense is fast compared to other solutions."
"A very simple setup: Easy to download, install, and updates are pain free."
"It has allowed me to move my data to the cloud."
"The most valuable thing I have found is the ability for Sisense to connect data from totally different sources."
"Visually displaying data."
 

Cons

"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."
"Its machine learning and visualization capabilities can be improved. There should be more visualization options."
"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 should simplify data connectivity and modeling, making data extraction more streamlined and adaptable for diverse use cases."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"It is less scalable than Snowflake."
"Its FAW feature has limitations in terms of usage."
"I would also like to be able to run a bursts of reports based on different field values with PDF output right in the tool, rather than filtering on each field value and generating each PDF manually."
"I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes."
"At present there are additional costs involved if we wish to share our data queues within this solution, which we would like to see removed."
"I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data."
"Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T"
"I would like to see an improvement in the live data connection, specifically making the process faster."
"I would say that using Sisense on Linux's platform might not be advantageous for everyone."
"This solution does not have tabs. In order to have tabs, you have to download an add-on to mimic the tabs. They should be integrated to improve the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable; it's quite a bit lower than Tableau and Spotfire."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's pricing is generally higher than that of other vendors."
"Bottom line, the cost is really, really cheap compared to other solutions. Oracle has made a huge effort on the pricing."
