Ram Alla

BI Consultant at KPI Partners

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.

Solution Architect and Senior Consultant at Keysight Technologies

Business insights improve with reliable integration but face occasional system downtimes

It is difficult to integrate the modules. The customization is also a little bit complex currently, but it is getting easier as they continue improving the market. There are certain glitches, especially when the modules are upgraded or when there is a source code update, causing the entire tool to go offline. There is downtime which still affects the particular product. I would provide a reliability rating of 70%, with 30% still having scope for improvement.

Quotes from Members

"It's scalable."

"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is the reporting tools."

Cons

"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."

"Quality of support varies."

"There are some offerings like Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud that have very useful online learning options. There need to be more avenues for self-learning with this particular solution. That would be useful."

"The price of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is quite a bit expensive for the region of Mexico. I think the price of the product could be better."

"Better pricing would make it available to more users and we would likely use it more broadly within the organization."

"Salesforce is working very rigorously on improvements with each release."

"If a user leaves your organization, you shouldn't lose the visibility of all of the records."

"There is a learning curve associated with Salesforce Einstein Analytics, particularly since users need to learn a new language."

"If I could improve Tableau CRM I would make it as powerful as Tableau. Tableau CRM is more integrated and it's on the web, but it has less functionality. It is lacking functionality at this time."

"They can provide more end-user customizations. There should be the possibility for the end-users to change some elements in the interface. I have a way of doing my job. My colleague may have his own way of doing his job. If I ask for a change, it'll change for everyone. It'll be good to have some end-user personalizations. I can't see many in Salesforce right now."

More Salesforce Einstein Analytics cons

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."

"Although it was deemed slightly expensive and failed the cost analysis we conducted in our company, we proceeded with the purchase because we desired to have a leading CRM system in the industry."

"Salesforce has a subscription-based licensing structure, where it's between $20 to $75 per month, per user."

"The biggest challenge we had was the cost and the licensing. We ended up getting an enterprise licensing agreement(ELA). That took a lot of negotiations and a lot of pressure. We were able to receive a good price for the community licensing they bundled Salesforce Einstein Analytics. They bundled a lot of capabilities with us with the ELA."

"Salesforce Einstein Analytics can be considered somewhat expensive, depending on the company's needs. If they want the complete package with all the features, it's pricier. It all comes down to what the company requires from the platform."

"Price-wise, Salesforce Einstein Analytics is an expensive tool."

"The solution is expensive."

"I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
