Featured Reviews

Vaclav-Biba - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhanced analytics through metadata-driven reporting with enterprise-level visualizations enables competitive advantage
In my opinion, what can be better in Oracle Analytics Cloud these days is primarily about pricing. I am from the Czech Republic, which is our main market. The situation here in the Czech Republic is that Power BI rules the world. There are two main reasons for this. First, speaking about the Czech Republic specifically, and second, the Power BI pricing model appears cheaper compared to Oracle Analytics Cloud. The pricing model in Microsoft is more straightforward. With Oracle, you have the data visualization and enterprise lines, and to put it simply, both appear as more expensive options for customers trying to get oriented in the segment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"This is a stable and scalable solution."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is not very user-friendly, however, it is robust and capable of performing a wide range of tasks."
"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."
"A valuable feature is the speed of the solution."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's most valuable feature is its visualization."
"Analytics Cloud allows you to merge various data types and structure data from multiple sources."
"Intelliflex is very scalable. In fact, scalability has improved 100 times by Intelliflex, in my personal opinion."
"Improved performance of ETL procedures, reporting."
"The solution's banking model, called FSLDM (Financial Services Logical Data Model), is sophisticated and good."
"Cuts time to process huge amounts of data with efficient analytical queries."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It effectively has allowed us to remove over 20 portion copies of the data sets on other DB platforms for real-time operational reporting purposes."
"The flexibility in design is very good."
"It's very, very fast"
 

Cons

"They could improve the ease of developing the dashboard and interacting with it."
"Its FAW feature has limitations in terms of usage."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is lacking in charts. They should add more charts to it."
"Its machine learning and visualization capabilities can be improved. There should be more visualization options."
"The implementation of generative AI and machine learning should improve"
"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."
"The pricing model in Microsoft is more straightforward. With Oracle, you have the data visualization and enterprise lines, and to put it simply, both appear as more expensive options for customers trying to get oriented in the segment."
"Teradata's pricing is quite high compared to Redshift, Synapse, or GCP alternatives."
"It could use some more advanced analytics relating to structured and semi-structured data."
"Limited interest and success in some areas make us hesitate about upgrading."
"Teradata's UI could be more user-friendly."
"There is some improvement required on OLTP level and some analytical function is missing."
"Teradata can improve the way it handles big data and unstructured data."
"If I want to implement an upgrade, I'd like to see how it will be different. Ideally, Data Lab should help me test production items and also do future things. Future releases should be downloadable and testable in Data Lab."
"There is a need to improve performance in high transaction processes, as well as the reporting system."
 

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 tool's pricing is not unreasonable or non-competitive."
"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."
"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."
"A highly cost-effective solution"
"It is an expensive platform."
"Price is quite high, so if it is really possible to use other solutions (e.g. you do not have strict requirements for performance and huge data volumes), it might be better to look at alternatives from the RDBMS world."
"The cost is substantial, totaling around $1.2 million, solely dedicated to upgrading the hardware."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for Teradata IntelliFlex, which is very expensive."
"Teradata is not cheap, but you get what you pay for."
"Teradata is expensive but gives value for money, especially if you don't want to move your data to the cloud."
"The tool costs about 30,000 euros a month, while Azure Synapse SQL only costs 10,000."
"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's licensing is on the expensive side."
