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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Mobility is the most valuable feature for us. All employees can access it from anywhere. It is a big advantage for us."
"The scalability is acknowledged as pretty good, although my evaluation is limited because I used the tool for a short period."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are dashboarding and data 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."
"The best feature may be data flow, which is used to prepare and clean data."
"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."
"The performance is great, we are able to query our data in one operation."
"The ability to handle machine data parallel processing is the most valuable feature of Teradata."
"IntelliFlex is easy to scale - one of its best features is that you can upscale it to the size you want."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of running queries."
"​Building a data warehouse with Teradata has definitely helped a lot of our downstream applications to more easily access information."
"Teradata can be deployed on-premise, on the cloud, or in a virtual machine, which means customers can move without having to create their architecture all over again."
"The cloud is ten times better than physical hardware; it is more cost-effective and the upgrade process is ten times easier."
"​Parallel processing features have helped to easily dump any size of data and retrieve data with great performance."
 

Cons

"At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced."
"It is less scalable than Snowflake."
"The product could benefit from increased flexibility compared to other vendors."
"It's not a failure of the product; it's just an architectural choice. It has to do with data modeling. I'm comparing this to another product, which is Oracle's developer client and probably called Oracle BI Developer Client Tool. The data modeler, which is cloud-based, and Oracle BI Developer Client Tool, which is local or on-premises-based, both can do the same thing in data modeling. However, the cloud tool does not have as many features as the Oracle BI Developer Client Tool, which is closest to the OBIEE Administration Tool with full feature data modeling, metadata development, and so forth. In a complex environment or implementation, that is the capability that you need."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is lacking in charts. They should add more charts to it."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"​I think the UI is not there yet. It could be improved by being more user-friendly.​"
"Teradata hardly supports unstructured data or semi-structured data"
"It's primarily designed for big projects and therefore, the pricing is pretty high. It's not suitable for smaller companies."
"Teradata needs to pay attention to the cloud-based solution to make sure it runs smoothly."
"An additional feature I would you like to see included in the next release, is that it needs to be more cloud-friendly."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version or a cloud component. We have to use other solutions, such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Snowflake for the cloud."
"Teradata is somewhat late in adopting cloud technology."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 product’s pricing is expensive. However, feature-wise, it fits the requirements of enterprise customers."
"The tool's pricing is not unreasonable or non-competitive."
"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."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's pricing is generally higher than that of other vendors."
"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."
"In this day and age, we want to get things done quickly. So, we go to the AWS Marketplace."
"Teradata is expensive but gives value for money, especially if you don't want to move your data to the cloud."
"The solution requires a license."
"Teradata is currently making improvements in this area."
"The price of Teradata is on the higher side, and I think that it where they lose out on some of their business."
"​I would advise others to look into migration and setup as a fixed price and incorporate a SaaS option for other Teradata services​."
"​When looking into implementing this product, pricing is the main issue followed by technical expertise​."
"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
