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."The hyperintelligence is the most valuable feature."
"I have had a lot of projects where we had a lot of users, like thousands of users, and the data was in one report which could bring in six million records. MicroStrategy is doing a good job on scalability."
"The reporting, the dashboards, and the new visualization functions. It is very easy for users to understand their data and dashboards."
"The technical support is quite good."
"Having the intelligence server sit in the middle is huge for us. It is going to save us a lot of time, make our work a lot simpler, make it easier for deployment, and getting the reports in the hands of our users sooner."
"This solution is the most scalable BI platform in the world."
"The subscription model is excellent. About half of our reporting comes out of the subscription, and from there, the ease of use in dragging and dropping reporting objects."
"Dossiers are going to change the name of the game for us. We want to be able to have the executive committee go into a meeting and tell a story. We want them to tell us a story, not us."
"The best feature may be data flow, which is used to prepare and clean data."
"The most valuable features of the solution are dashboarding and data visualization."
"This is a stable and scalable solution."
"Data preparation is fantastic and fast. We were able to use multiple data sources and prepare the data quickly."
"The AI/ML enablement is useful, as many reporting tools do not offer machine learning models as of now, without writing customized code."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's most valuable feature is its visualization."
"The technical support services are good."
"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."
"If you do not learn the ins or outs, it can be a difficult tool to use. You could do a PoC and get enough out of it to be able to use it. However, when it comes to administering it, you definitely need the training."
"Our users tend to say the interface is a pain."
"If they can make it more stable, in terms of the connectivity, that would help."
"The learning curve is quite steep."
"From a stability standpoint, from MicroStrategy, I would say it's fairly consistent. I would give it a "B" because there are times where we have issues that are just inexplicable. They go away and then we have no resolution. To me, that's not acceptable. There are just times where our users can't access things and we're not sure why, and that's a problem to me."
"They need to supply the support system that's just not there right now. They don't have Enterprise Manager classes. You need in-depth classes to understand what those metrics are doing, to understand the table associations from one to the other. You can't just go and pick it up and understand that DT_DAY connects to all of these tables, without going into Architect, looking at the source tables. I, as a analyst, a slightly technical user, I don't have the expertise to do that. Business users definitely don't have the expertise to do that."
"Something I would be interested in is more visualizations, because right now we use SDK to create some. If there were more out-of-the-box options, we would be happy with that."
"I would like to see a single standalone application to control everything from the administration perspective, and also to develop new applications."
"The solution could be more flexible."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"It is less scalable than Snowflake."
"The interfaces could be improved and some in-memory operations could be built in."
"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"Its FAW feature has limitations in terms of usage."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is lacking in charts. They should add more charts to it."
