Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is user-friendly.""The features that I find to be the most valuable are the BAS (Business Analytics), the Narrate feature, and the auto-visualization.""It's robust. It has the ability to handle massive amounts. After reporting has been developed, there is an ease of use or a user-friendly interface for a trained workforce.""I've discovered that the new layout of this product makes Docker sharing, machine learning support, and data backups more efficient. Unlike the older method of linking physical, pre-logical, and presentation layers separately, the new interface simplifies this process. Additionally, the integration of databases and machine learning is seamless, with the new visualization approach being particularly beautiful and highly beneficial.""The technical support services are good.""Data preparation is fantastic and fast. We were able to use multiple data sources and prepare the data quickly.""The most valuable features of the solution are dashboarding and data visualization.""The solution can scale."

"It's made searching for data easier. Users like it. We're still in the migration process, but overall, it's a lot easier to use.""The most valuable feature of Splunk Cloud is the quick setup.""The log search capabilities are very good.""In my organization, Splunk Cloud Platform has improved the issue revolving around transactions.""For my current requirements, the tool theme seems to be meeting my requirements, from a cost and requirements perspective.""The Splunk search is powerful compared to similar solutions. We get millions of data points within seconds.""The most valuable feature is we don't have to deal with any back-end server maintenance because the solution is cloud-based.""he cloud performance is good."

Cons
"This solution could be more adaptable in its application.""The product should be improved in terms of connectors; right now the top twenty connectors are available, but OneDrive and Teradata are missing.""The solution could be more flexible.""They could improve the ease of developing the dashboard and interacting with it.""Its FAW feature has limitations in terms of usage.""Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available.""The product could benefit from increased flexibility compared to other vendors.""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."

More Oracle Analytics Cloud Cons →

"Some of the implementation is challenging. They're not very proxy-aware.""From an enterprise standpoint, we are more limited in terms of what data we can export and how we can present it.""There can be more modules and more integration with other areas in the cloud and on-prem. I am not sure whether it includes network devices and things like that.""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.""Splunk should offer various options for real-time monitoring.""The current visuals on the dashboard could be more impactful.""Splunk Cloud Platform needs to be made more user-friendly because it's not user-friendly.""The Splunk Cloud Platform dashboard could benefit from some improvements."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Bottom line, the cost is really, really cheap compared to other solutions. Oracle has made a huge effort on the pricing."
  • "The price is reasonable; it's quite a bit lower than Tableau and Spotfire."
  • "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 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."
  • "It is an expensive platform."
  • "I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
  • "The product’s pricing is expensive. However, feature-wise, it fits the requirements of enterprise customers."
  • More Oracle Analytics Cloud Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The licensing is based on the amount of data that we send to the cloud on a daily basis."
  • "The price is something that people complain about."
  • "The licensing costs depend on the state of your environment and the fees are paid on a monthly basis."
  • "The pricing model makes this an expensive solution."
  • "There are additional features that you would need to purchase depending on your use case."
  • "The cost of using Splunk Cloud Platform is high, but the value it provides is worth the investment."
  • "I am familiar with the pricing and licensing model a little bit. I am not sure about the particulars of the actual price that we have, but I do like the idea of going towards a more CPU-based approach rather than the ingest approach because it allows us the ability to ingest more data if we need it."
  • "It is a touchy subject because we are locked into it. That goes back to the rehydrating data. We cannot have the retention that we want to store for legal and compliance purposes because that is seven years' worth of data for some of the indexes, so we ship them off into S3 buckets and install them there, at which point they are invisible to Splunk, so we have to rehydrate them, but we cannot rehydrate those pockets into Splunk Cloud. We have to rehydrate them into a self-hosted version of Splunk, which can take days to set up and get going. I would not call Splunk's licensing and pricing predatory, but they have made it very difficult to maintain the independence of your own data."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the Oracle Analytics Cloud solution.

    Fabricio Q., Data Analytics Manager, says, “The main functionality is great and everything is pretty standard and easy to use. It's great for consolidation and creating one source of truth. The initial setup is pretty straightforward.”

    PeerSpot user, Eric B., Independent Consultant - Oracle BI Applications at Desjardins, mentions “It's really an enterprise solution. It has standard dashboarding functionality. It also has reporting capabilities for producing pixel-perfect reports, bursting large volumes of a document if you need to. It has interactive data discovery functionality, which you would use to explore your data, bring your own data, and merge it with maybe the data from an enterprise data warehouse to get new insights from the pre-existing data. It has machine learning embedded in the solution.”

    Gaurav S., Vice President Credit Risk Management at a financial services firm, explains, “From a financial or bank perspective, this product is secure enough. The dashboards, analytics, visualizations, and different reports are valuable for business analytics. The AI/ML enablement is useful, as many reporting tools do not offer machine learning models as of now, without writing customized code.”

    Another reviewer, Trinh P., Delivery Manager at Sift Ag, comments, "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."
