We performed a comparison between MicroStrategy and Oracle Analytics Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Technical support has sent us to rapid response before, when we really needed them."
"Workstation and Desktop on the client side will speed up some development activities."
"The reporting, the dashboards, and the new visualization functions. It is very easy for users to understand their data and dashboards."
"Scalability is the best thing. You can really scale."
"The feature I found most valuable is the drop and drag functionality available."
"With the new version that's coming out, I think they have simplified a lot of things. Also, when it comes to the administration part, and sharing, and the collaboration features, they are really great. You can send out comments with a filter to someone in your organization, and if the person clicks on it, he actually sees what you are seeing. So that's really great."
"It keeps BI in the hands of everyone, rather than a developer or an analyst."
"It has had a direct impact on bottomline improvements."
"Analytics Cloud allows you to merge various data types and structure data from multiple sources."
"It's valuable feature is that it is user-friendly and doesn't require much time for understanding. The solution is stable. The initial setup was straightforward."
"The technical support services are good."
"The most valuable features of the solution are dashboarding and data 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."
"Data preparation is fantastic and fast. We were able to use multiple data sources and prepare the data quickly."
"The product is easily customized."
"The features that I find to be the most valuable are the BAS (Business Analytics), the Narrate feature, and the auto-visualization."
"I would like to see more integration."
"I would try to make it a little more basic, user-friendly. In terms of the UX, it's a bit sluggish there."
"I prefer the capabilities of a single platform, but it does not always work. We are a huge company. Some areas do not use MicroStrategy, so you have to blend whatever systems they are using together to get the data points that you are looking for."
"Another feature to consider in the future would be adding some additional offline capabilities without using desktops."
"MicroStrategy lacks that community support. You're either stuck figuring things out yourself or paying expensive fees to MicroStrategy consultants for help."
"MicroStrategy needs to do some more development to make the platform easier to use. It's a complicated platform that requires a lot of skill to effectively utilize. So they could work on reducing the complexity to make it more accessible for a broader community of people."
"They need to improve on having more professional, well-equipped premium support."
"The solution has a very non-logical user usage part. It has a library mode where users can access all the data, reports, and dashboards, but they also can be accessed from a platform. They have to log into the platform. The user experience is confusing for the users. MicroStrategy needs to define which one they will use. Some functionality isn’t available in library mode but is available in the portal. There should be Office integration. For example, if I do a presentation, then I should be able to add a chart to my presentation."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"Analytics Cloud allows you to merge various data types and structure data from multiple sources."
"One area of improvement is associated with more connectors needing to be added such as Microsoft OneDrive, Teradata and a few others. I think the list is limited to the top ones now."
"When we have, for example, a table with low performance, we have several issues with drawing some graphics in the Oracle cloud."
"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."
"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."
"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."
"At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced."
