We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The company dashboard is useful because we could share it via a link as a reminder for everyone to check it weekly. We observed the progress of our portfolio from last week to the current week, allowing us to compare revenues.""This has improved our organization by allowing people to see their data and develop visualizations themselves.""The ability to integrate with a great variety of data sources.""I find it favorable regarding speed of development, ease of building, and flexibility.""Valuable features include advanced integrated analysis and easy implementation.""The ability to design complex data models and equations.""The solution is free so that is a good feature.""Data Studio integrates seamlessly with other Google products, and we can use it with other APIs if we like."

More Google Data Studio Pros →

"The features that I find to be the most valuable are the BAS (Business Analytics), the Narrate feature, and the auto-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.""The solution is user-friendly.""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.""This is a stable and scalable solution.""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.""The most valuable features of the solution are dashboarding and data visualization.""It plays a crucial role in facilitating decision-making for various organizational stakeholders."

Cons
"Insisting on forums, blogs and community outreach in communications, and posting videos on an established calendar would be useful.""Panels are not as easy to use as other data extraction UIs.""There are issues with integration and I encountered limits and warnings, especially with my pivot table size.""There is a significant degree of sophistication required to compete with Tableau or Cognos.""Stability and scalability an be improved for a full ten.""Other tools might be worth considering if you need more advanced features or support for a larger user base.""It's not yet a replacement for a complete BI tool.""When you physically install a product on one machine instead of the cloud, you have a better visibility, best icon quality, etc.. It's more of an issue with how we are adapting to the transition. We are still in the early moments of using this tool, and we need to go deeper to discover some improvements."

More Google Data Studio Cons →

"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. Having easily understandable documents or guides for new users would be beneficial. AI integration would be an interesting feature to add in the next release.""The price of the solution could be lower.""At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced.""The migration of older dash tools from the classic interface of Oracle BI prior to OAS launch to the newer Data Visualization and Oracle Analytics Cloud interfaces, including dashboards and metadata, is currently a cumbersome process. Improvements in this area would be highly beneficial. Additionally, the administration of the cloud, particularly the startup of services and linking of the WebLogic server and integrated components, takes longer than desired. In today's enterprise landscape, waiting forty minutes for the server to be operational is quite lengthy; ideally, this process should take a maximum of four minutes. It would be excellent to incorporate metadata management as an integral part of the Oracle Analytics Cloud. When dealing with integrated data from various sources, tracking data lineage and the entire data life cycle, from sources to report development and the mapping of reports to specific dashboards, should be seamlessly managed within the Oracle Analytics Cloud. This would eliminate the need for additional tools. Drawing a comparison, tools like Tableau have a feature enabling metadata management, making it easier to trace the complete data lineage of reports. Managing over seven hundred and thirty-six business dashboards, the metadata management capability within Tableau simplified the process of understanding how reports were developed, including details like associated tables, users, linked views, materialized views, data segmentations, ETL jobs, and the data warehouse stages. Enhancing metadata tracking within the Oracle Analytics Cloud layout would facilitate easy and practical management of the complete data life cycle, encompassing user accessibility and report permissions.""The solution could be more flexible.""The interfaces could be improved and some in-memory operations could be built in.""Its machine learning and visualization capabilities can be improved. There should be more visualization options.""When you implement the product on a small scale, it doesn't generate any ROI."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the Oracle Analytics Cloud solution.

    Fabricio Q., Data Analytics Manager, says, “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.”

    PeerSpot user, Eric B., Independent Consultant - Oracle BI Applications at Desjardins, mentions “It's really an enterprise solution. It has standard dashboarding functionality. It also has reporting capabilities for producing pixel-perfect reports, bursting large volumes of a document if you need to. It has interactive data discovery functionality, which you would use to explore your data, bring your own data, and merge it with maybe the data from an enterprise data warehouse to get new insights from the pre-existing data. It has machine learning embedded in the solution.”

    Gaurav S., Vice President Credit Risk Management at a financial services firm, explains, “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.”

    Another reviewer, Trinh P., Delivery Manager at Sift Ag, comments, "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."
