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

"It plays a crucial role in facilitating decision-making for various organizational stakeholders."
"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."
"A valuable feature is the speed of the solution."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"It's great for consolidation and creating one source of truth."
"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 solution can scale."
"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."
"Teradata effectively uses parallelism to the granular level, performing better than other databases."
"It is a solid database a lot of different tools to move data."
"Teradata solutions help organizations reduce IT, operations, and maintenance costs; enhance on-time delivery of products and services."
"I like this solution's ease of design and the fact that its performance is quite good. It is stable as well."
"The product's scalability is great. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It has a solid set of tools and consulting services."
"The product is reliable."
"The feature that we find most valuable is its ability to perform Massive Parallel Processing."
 

Cons

"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."
"When we have, for example, a table with low performance, we have several issues with drawing some graphics in the Oracle cloud."
"The product should be improved in terms of connectors; right now the top twenty connectors are available, but OneDrive and Teradata are missing."
"The product should improve its user interface. It should be welcoming and modern. Developers should also find it easier to build data models. Oracle Analytics Cloud needs to have better visualizations and more options in the marketplace."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is lacking in charts. They should add more charts to it."
"The product could benefit from increased flexibility compared to other vendors."
"They could improve the ease of developing the dashboard and interacting with it."
"It should simplify data connectivity and modeling, making data extraction more streamlined and adaptable for diverse use cases."
"Data ingestion is done via external utilities and not by the query language itself. It would be more convenient to have that functionality within its SQL dialect."
"There are some ways that the handling of unstructured data could be improved."
"Stability-wise, we have had some issues with automation and the ability to handle large datasets."
"The SQL Assistant is very basic. This tool can be improved for usability."
"The only issue our company has with Teradata IntelliFlex is that it is not cost-effective because of the way the product has been designed."
"We tried to use case Teradata for a data warehouse system, but we had some problems in relation to the Teradata system, CDC tools, and source databases. We were unable to transfer data from HPE Integrity mainframe to Teradata."
"The following could be better: licensing, architecture openness, integration with other tools."
"I'm not sure about the unstructured data management capabilities. It could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The tool's pricing is not unreasonable or non-competitive."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's pricing is generally higher than that of other vendors."
"Bottom line, the cost is really, really cheap compared to other solutions. Oracle has made a huge effort on the pricing."
"I would rate it a five out of five in terms of the value received for the price charge."
"A highly cost-effective solution"
"The price is reasonable; it's quite a bit lower than Tableau and Spotfire."
"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."
"Teradata is expensive but gives value for money, especially if you don't want to move your data to the cloud."
"In this day and age, we want to get things done quickly. So, we go to the AWS Marketplace."
"The product cost is high for what the client gets. There may be more cost-effective solutions for small and medium-sized organizations."
"​When looking into implementing this product, pricing is the main issue followed by technical expertise​."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for Teradata IntelliFlex, which is very expensive."
"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."
"The price needs to be more competitive as Hadoop, Redshift, Snowflake, etc are constantly making way into EDW space."
"I am using the free version of Teradata."
