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.

Harnessing advanced parallelism for top performance while embracing cloud trends
Teradata is primarily used for data warehousing across all customers. My clients have built-in applications that use Teradata, and their use varies from customer to customer, depending on the industry and database size. The primary function is as an OLAP analytical ecosystem Scalability is…

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."
"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 features that I find to be the most valuable are the BAS (Business Analytics), the Narrate feature, and the auto-visualization."
"The ability to quickly search for and access relevant data is crucial."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's most valuable feature is its visualization."
"The product is easily customized."
"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."
"This is a stable and scalable solution."
"The data processing, clustering, and distributed computing are impressive."
"The ability to handle machine data parallel processing is the most valuable feature of Teradata."
"Teradata features high productivity and reliability because it has several redundancy options, so the system is always up and running."
"Teradata is a great, industry-leading data warehousing product that has MPP architecture."
"A conventional and easily defined way to build a data warehouse or a layer of data marts."
"It's the same as your visual database. I like the fast load feature for data, the BTQ solution is very good, and storage procedures are very fast."
"Cuts time to process huge amounts of data with efficient analytical queries."
"It is quick, secure, and has less hassles because we don't have to involve our networking team, infrastructure, etc. It is very easy to deploy and make market ready."
 

Cons

"The price of the solution could be lower."
"The interfaces could be improved and some in-memory operations could be built in."
"The solution could be more flexible."
"It should simplify data connectivity and modeling, making data extraction more streamlined and adaptable for diverse use cases."
"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."
"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."
"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."
"I would like more security and speed."
"There is some improvement required on OLTP level and some analytical function is missing."
"Query language and its functionality are rather limited, compared to Oracle or even SQL Server. However, it is possible to perform any kind of logic in it (though some workarounds may be required)."
"I would like to see more integration with many different types of data."
"Teradata needs to expand the kind of training that's available to customers. Teradata only offers training directly and doesn't delegate to any third-party companies. As a result, it's harder to find people trained on Teradata in our market relative to Oracle."
"From my perspective, it would be good if they gave better ITIN/R plugins to use the data for AI modeling, or data science modeling. We can do it now; however, it could be more elegant in terms of interfacing."
"The cost of Teradata Cloud Data Warehouse has room for improvement."
"Apart from Control-M, it would be nice if it could integrate with other tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is not unreasonable or non-competitive."
"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."
"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."
"A highly cost-effective solution"
"Bottom line, the cost is really, really cheap compared to other solutions. Oracle has made a huge effort on the pricing."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"Teradata used to be expensive, but they have been lowering their prices."
"The price of Teradata is on the higher side, and I think that it where they lose out on some of their business."
"I am using the free version of Teradata."
"Make sure you have the in-house skills to design and support the solution, as relying on external sources is extremely costly and tends to lock you into specific platforms, tools, and paradigms."
"Teradata is expensive but gives value for money, especially if you don't want to move your data to the cloud."
"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The solution requires a license."
"The price of Teradata is expensive. However, what they deliver they are outstanding. If you're looking for an inexpensive solution to run a database, this isn't your tool. It's the Ferrari of databases for data warehousing."
