Featured Reviews

Ram Alla - PeerSpot reviewer
Has supported secure report building and simplified data visualization for non-technical users
The features I find most useful in Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service include data visualization desktop for self-service reports. We can export using Excel and CSV files by dragging and dropping the columns to create reports. The drag-and-drop interface in Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service helps create dashboards for non-technical users as it is easy to use. By dragging and dropping columns, it creates a tabular view by default. We can convert these into many graphs and views such as pivot tables and other interactive graphical representations. I use self-service analytics in Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service.
SUBRATADEY - PeerSpot reviewer
Addressing installation challenges to utilize interactive dashboards effectively
Posit is valuable because many geo-scientists I work with are more comfortable writing R scripts and using R Shiny, making it a suited choice for them. On top of that, it integrates with the application and database, creating interactive dashboards. While there's a need to manage a significant portion manually, the performance overall is stable.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Initial setup was straightforward."
"Its ease of use and the ability to drill down into detail are the most valuable. Executive dashboarding features are the most commonly used ones."
"The most valuable features are user-friendly and self-service tools. Users can define their reports based on available data sets, with multiple dimensions and slide and dice data capabilities."
"The solution effectively integrates with third-party products."
"I have found Posit’s integration with R, such as the autocomplete feature and the help panel, to be invaluable."
"Overall, I think Posit is a stable product."
"The most valuable feature of Posit is that it allows users to host different models in one place, making it easy to share with colleagues and teammates."
 

Cons

"Quality of support varies."
"When looking at web-based BI or cloud-based BI vendors, there should be abilities for power users to build deep analysis. If they are not data science tools, they are not for power users."
"In terms of data modeling, it could be simplified. Sometimes, it seems complicated. Also, the response time for data set refreshes could be faster to enhance the user experience."
"The dashboard could be improved and include additional features."
"Posit lacks a smooth solution for the build and release pipeline, requiring duplicate effort for production transitions."
"I would like to see improvements in SSH capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is reasonable compared to other products."
"Oracle products are always going to be on the higher end of your price scale. You have to kind of accept that going in."
