Oracle Analytics Cloud Reviews

I have been using it only for reporting. I am trying to conduct some usage regarding the self-service BI, however, I haven't been able to implement it in that way. What I have been using is only BI reporting.

Previous to using Oracle Analytics Cloud, we had several issues consolidating information in one report. Using this tool, we were able to forget about using Excel and keep using it as the only source of data.

The main functionality is great and everything is pretty standard and easy to use. 

It's great for consolidation and creating one source of truth. 

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. 

The user interaction with the solution could be better. It can be frustrating at times. Sometimes it depends on the database performance. When we have, for example, a table with low performance, we have several issues with drawing some graphics in the Oracle cloud.

I've been using the solution since 2018. it's been about four years now. 

The solution is stable. The only stuff I have some issues with was related to some communication with the database. I had some lack of communication that was an issue over there, however, most of the time, it was very stable.

It's not a scalable product. We have about 40 people using the solution and they are mostly data analysts. 

There is only one business area using the product and we have no plans to expand the usage.

We did not have a positive experience with technical support. 

Negative

We did assessments of other solutions. We were also trying to use Tableau and Power BI. The main difference was the self-service functionality. 

The solution is pretty straightforward and simple. I'd rate it a three out of five in terms of ease of setup. We did the full deployment twice and it took us about eight months. 

We had a team of six people who handled the deployment and maintenance tasks. 

We handled the implementation with our in-house team. We didn't use outside consultants or anyone like that. 

We have not yet witnessed any ROI. 

I cannot speak to the exact licensing costs of the solution. In previous experiences, however, I recall it being quite expensive. I would rate it five out of five in terms of the level of expense to expect. That said, beyond the licensing fee, there are no other add-on fees to expect. 

When I was onboarded for the project, I was told to use Oracle Analytics Cloud. The assessment of other options is being done right now.

We have a hybrid cloud deployment and use both AWS and Azure. I tried to use the Oracle cloud, however, I was unable to due to the budget.

I'd rate the solution two out of ten. It really isn't the best.

It's rather user-friendly.

The solution can scale.

The stability is good.

It's easy to set up.

The cost factor needs to be improved. When you want to scale up and improve the computing power, it becomes extremely costly. 

They could improve the ease of developing the dashboard and interacting with it.

They can also improve, quite critically, the user interface. It's not as intuitive as Qlik Sense.

There should be improvements in Auto ML, automated machine learning, and, if possible, even robotics process automation.

I've used Oracle Analytics Cloud for two years now. The company has been using it for close to five or six years now.

It's quite stable and quite sustainable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

While you can scale, it can get expensive.

When you want to scale it up, you eat resources in terms of computing power, storage, querying, and everything else. It becomes very expensive.

While It's possible to scale anytime upwards or downwards, the cost factor becomes an impediment.

While technical support is quite good, it's slow. We need to raise a ticket. After that, it can take up to two to three or four hours for them to respond. For Qlik Sense, in contrast, it's just direct. We just call them or we just email them or even Whatsapp them, and they will immediately respond, set up a call, and that's it. They solve it. 

We also are familiar with Qlik Sense. For Qlik Sense, we are proceeding to be ISA partners and have used it for six months.

The initial setup is straightforward. It's not overly complex. The deployment itself took about a year.

We have two people that are available to maintain the solution.

We handled the implementation completely in-house, without the assistance of any integrators or consultants. 

The pricing could be a bit lower. it's a bit expensive right now, especially as you scale up.

We pay $50,000 on a yearly basis.

We are an ISA partner.

We are using the latest version of the product.

If there is a simpler, faster, or cheaper solution, then a company should go for it. Look at the Gartner Quadrant, as, clearly, Oracle is not yet a leader. We have Microsoft, we have Qlik Sense. If a company can factor in other solutions first, it's best. The key advantage of Oracle is, that once you've got your account, at least you have access to the autonomous data warehouse and you have access to automated machine learning, (AutoML) and so on and so forth. Beyond that, it's just so expensive. I wouldn't advocate for somebody to go for it.

I'd rate the solution a six out of ten.

Our customers use Analytics Cloud, they are always E-Business Suite customers. The product is generally used for transactional data because for EBS there is no discovery support. We build Analytics on-premise or on cloud and use E-Business Suite for financials and logistics. All reports are developed using Oracle Analytics aside from the principal ones or standard reports coming from inside E-Business Suite. We generally work with enterprise size companies that use various analytics and reporting tools, not just Oracle Analytics. I'm a managing partner in a consulting firm and we are customers of Oracle.

We use Analytics because we have a model for it which can be easily customized. Implementation time can be reduced because of this. 

The interfaces could be improved and some in-memory operations could be built into Oracle Analytics. We try to supply those kinds of things using database capabilities. Oracle removed things like cookies in its integration and that caused problems with SSL. I sent the reporting EDS which required a lot of work. It was more integrated with EDS, but now it's more standalone and it bothers me because it requires additional work when customers want to upgrade. Previously, that wasn't necessary so I think those kinds of things can be improved.

I've been using this solution for three years. 

The product is stable. 

The product can be distributed so it's scalable. Our largest customer is a telecommunications company that has almost 10,000 users.

We are okay on support so we don't need to use Oracle technical support much. 

I've used Tableau and I like it. Reports are very fast and I like their interfaces and things can be inherited from or inspired from the other tools.

Installation takes two or three days if you install on-premise, it's the customer's choice whether it's installed on cloud or on-prem. The time-consuming thing is analyzing the reports and building a report for it. We have five engineers who deal with our projects. Our technical personnel are all engineers.

There is a paid license that is required and then the customer pays us for customization.

I rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

This product is used for reporting and visualization.

We are not using the latest version but rather, one version back.

From a financial or bank perspective, this product is secure enough.

The dashboards, analytics, visualizations, and different reports are valuable for business analytics.

The AI/ML enablement is useful, as many reporting tools do not offer machine learning models as of now, without writing customized code.

This product does not support custom charts in the visualization.

At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced.

There are a couple of other limitations. For example, many reporting tools offer good features and oracle should learn from that.

There should be tool tech enhancements.

We have been using Oracle Analytics Cloud for approximately three years.

This is a stable solution and we plan to continue using it for at least another year.

I believe that this is a scalable product.

We have been in contact with Oracle technical support and we are satisfied with it.

I have worked with many reporting tools including SAS Visual Analytics, Spotfire, and Activu.

There was no specific reason for switching to Oracle Analytics Cloud. This was a decision driven by the priorities of the moment.

The time required for deployment is almost an hour.

Deployment requires a small team of people. One from admin, another from the development team, and one more.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We've selected Oracle Analytics Cloud as our visualization tool, and its use case is for visualization, particularly because we already have an ERP system, and we also have a lot of data across different functions, for example, in finance and sales.

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.

Oracle Analytics Cloud is lacking in charts. They should add more charts to it.

I've been using Oracle Analytics Cloud for almost one year.

Oracle Analytics Cloud is a stable solution. It has good stability.

Oracle Analytics Cloud is a scalable solution.

I'm only using the web portal and my computer, so I'm unable to comment on whether the setup or deployment of Oracle Analytics Cloud is straightforward or complex.

I'm using Oracle technology: Oracle Analytics Cloud. It's a cloud subscription, so it doesn't have a software version. The solution is deployed on a private cloud.

Fifty people are using Oracle Analytics Cloud within my company, and they are in the financial and sales departments. The solution is used across the company.

My rating for Oracle Analytics Cloud is nine out of ten.

We have Oracle EBS and HR analytics, and we are using it for reporting.

Mobility is the most valuable feature for us. All employees can access it from anywhere. It is a big advantage for us.

For HR, Analytics Cloud is the most viable solution.

Its machine learning and visualization capabilities can be improved. There should be more visualization options.

In our company, we have been using it for the last six months.

It is stable.

It is easy to scale. We have about 1,000 users. We are a software company, and our developers and our finance people are using its reporting capabilities.

I have not interacted with them.

It was quite easy. I would rate it a five out of five in terms of the ease of setup.

It was implemented in-house.

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.

I didn't deeply analyze and compare it with others.

If the data is in Oracle, Oracle Analytics Cloud is a very good option.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten. 

I am a software designer and a part of the technical team and we create the dataflows for the end-user.

The features that I find to be the most valuable are the BAS (Business Analytics), the Narrate feature, and the auto-visualization.

Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available. 

I would like to see making abbreviations as per the user's needs.

Oracle Analytics Cloud is stable.

It's a scalable product.

The technical support that we are getting from Oracle is pretty good.

Previously, I worked with Tableau, Spotfire, and SAS VA. Tableau and Spotfire are a little advanced when comparing with OACs (Oracle Analytics Cloud). The customizations and making the licenses to suit your needs is pretty easy.

The price is reasonable; it's quite a bit lower than Tableau and Spotfire.

Depending on the needs of business to business, but as far a visualizations are concerned, this is a good product. Anyone can update for Business Intelligence.

I would rate Oracle Analytics Cloud an eight out of ten.

A valuable feature is the speed of the solution.

The solution could be more flexible. I faced issues with user level security administration and maintaining variables. 

The price of the solution could be lower. 

The dashboards should be more interactive. 

I have been using Oracle Analytics Cloud for two-and-a-half or three years. 

The solution is super stable.

The solution is very scalable.

Technical support is very fast and accurate.

Prior to Oracle Analytics Cloud I worked with Oracle Business Intelligence on-premises, MicroStrategy and Tableau.

As I only worked with Oracle Analytics Cloud, I cannot say which product is preferable.

The initial setup is super easy.

The solution could be more cost-effective. 

Our customers consist of enterprise companies.

My advice to others is that they start with the solution as soon as possible. They should initially start small and go from there. 

I rate Oracle Analytics Cloud as a seven out of ten.
