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.

Unified log analytics has transformed security monitoring and cuts breach detection to minutes

Splunk Cloud Platform has areas for improvement, including the fact that it is obviously an enterprise tool and can be expensive, which is the biggest complaint I have noted. Costs can rise due to high data ingestion and long retention periods, along with a complex licensing structure that makes pricing difficult to predict as usage grows, especially since more systems send logs. There are also performance concerns at scale where users have reported slower searches and expensive long-term storage needs, particularly in multi-terabyte environments. Additionally, operational complexity exists as enterprises still need to do data onboarding, create dashboards, handle retention policies, access control, and performance tuning. These are the three key areas of improvement I have identified.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's rather user-friendly."

"The product is able to compare with other tools on the market; it has everything you need, everything you can find in other tools such as Tableau and Power BI, and additionally, it has history, so you get a robust solution with support."

"A valuable feature is the speed of the solution."

"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 most valuable features of the solution are dashboarding and data visualization."

"Depending on the needs of business to business, but as far a visualizations are concerned, this is a good product."

"It has the best feature for data augmentation."

"It's valuable feature is that it is user-friendly and doesn't require much time for understanding. The solution is stable. The initial setup was straightforward."

More Oracle Analytics Cloud pros

"The ability to correlate data and then present it in a meaningful and valuable way is crucial."

"Splunk Cloud's most valuable features are log aggregations, dashboarding, business management, reporting, and business controls. Additionally, it has awesome indexing and the solution is always improving"

"Dashboarding has been very powerful. I work with a lot of different customers, so being able to tailor the data for different customers has been valuable. I am able to make visuals and have reports where they can self-serve."

"Splunk Cloud has helped us to be able to focus on getting more information out of our data."

"The most valuable feature is the SPL because without it we wouldn't be able to correlate and build our use cases and manage what we have for our data inside Splunk."

"Using Splunk Cloud Platform saves us time because previously we took two to three hours troubleshooting any problem, but now we get to know which particular area of the API is throwing an error and everything."

"As compared to other tools, it is very easy. It is very easy to learn. It also integrates well."

"The solution is user friendly and has extensive uses."

Cons

"The migration of older dash tools from the classic interface of Oracle BI prior to OAS launch to the newer Data Visualization and Oracle Analytics Cloud interfaces, including dashboards and metadata, is currently a cumbersome process. Improvements in this area would be highly beneficial. Additionally, the administration of the cloud, particularly the startup of services and linking of the WebLogic server and integrated components, takes longer than desired. In today's enterprise landscape, waiting forty minutes for the server to be operational is quite lengthy; ideally, this process should take a maximum of four minutes. It would be excellent to incorporate metadata management as an integral part of the Oracle Analytics Cloud. When dealing with integrated data from various sources, tracking data lineage and the entire data life cycle, from sources to report development and the mapping of reports to specific dashboards, should be seamlessly managed within the Oracle Analytics Cloud. This would eliminate the need for additional tools. Drawing a comparison, tools like Tableau have a feature enabling metadata management, making it easier to trace the complete data lineage of reports. Managing over seven hundred and thirty-six business dashboards, the metadata management capability within Tableau simplified the process of understanding how reports were developed, including details like associated tables, users, linked views, materialized views, data segmentations, ETL jobs, and the data warehouse stages. Enhancing metadata tracking within the Oracle Analytics Cloud layout would facilitate easy and practical management of the complete data life cycle, encompassing user accessibility and report permissions."

"When you want to scale up and improve the computing power, it becomes extremely costly."

"The learning curve should be improved, and I'm uncertain if tutorials are readily available or easily accessible. We may have resorted to looking on YouTube for such information. Having easily understandable documents or guides for new users would be beneficial. AI integration would be an interesting feature to add in the next release."

"Its FAW feature has limitations in terms of usage."

"Enterprise customers shy away from purchasing Oracle Analytics Cloud and prefer competing solutions from Tableau and Microsoft."

"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."

"It is expensive."

"We did not have a positive experience with technical support."

More Oracle Analytics Cloud cons

"Its stability and performance can be better. Very rarely does a day go by when we do not see an error in the console, such as a health check error. Because it is cloud-hosted, we do not have access to the backend to figure it out ourselves. We are reliant on their support to figure it out, and a couple of days later, the error comes back or it is a different error. It is a never-ending cycle of support tickets. Their support is also not great."

"However, there is one issue: when our storage limit is crossed, they directly charge higher."

"I think the tool has some scalability issues, especially when used in larger organizations."

"The security connection should have a seamless integration. Other than that, the way we are using it, so far, it seems quite good."

"Splunk Cloud Platform has areas for improvement, including the fact that it is obviously an enterprise tool and can be expensive, which is the biggest complaint I have noted."

"It is sometimes slow. Some of that has to do with the queries themselves not being efficient, but sometimes it is slow."

"They can streamline the process of creating custom apps."

"Splunk currently manages the components, which restricts our ability to access them directly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate it a five out of five in terms of the value received for the price charge."

"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."

"A highly cost-effective solution"

"The product’s pricing is expensive. However, feature-wise, it fits the requirements of enterprise customers."

"Bottom line, the cost is really, really cheap compared to other solutions. Oracle has made a huge effort on the pricing."

"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."

"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."

More Oracle Analytics Cloud pricing and cost advice

"I do not have much idea. We previously used 1 GB at the cost of $600. Both on-prem and cloud licenses have the same price. There is no difference. It did not impact the cost because the costs of the on-prem license and the cloud license are the same. We did not have any issues with that. Overall, its price is reasonable."

"The pricing was negotiated through Trustwave and for our first contract in three years, we got a good deal."

"The lack of transparency around the SVC licensing makes it difficult to explain the costs to our clients."

"The cost of using Splunk Cloud Platform is high, but the value it provides is worth the investment."

"The Splunk Cloud Platform is expensive."

"The cost of the Splunk Cloud Platform is high, and in addition to the standard licensing fee, we also have a premium support fee."

"I would rate the cost an eight out of ten, with ten being the most costly."

"Splunk Cloud Platform fell within our budget so we pulled the trigger and implemented it."
