What is most valuable?

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

What needs improvement?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's a scalable product.

How are customer service and support?

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

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

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.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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

What other advice do I have?

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.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

Pros and Cons
  • "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 learning curve should be improved, and I'm uncertain if tutorials are readily available or easily accessible. We may have resorted to looking on YouTube for such information.

We used it to meet a client's requirements.

What is most valuable?

It's valuable feature is that it is user-friendly and doesn't require much time for understanding.

Having easily understandable documents or guides for new users would be beneficial. Quick references like these would encourage more users to explore and utilize the features effectively. AI integration would be an interesting feature to add in the next release.

Allows users to easily drag and drop data and decide what to measure and what to see in the reports
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
