Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is closely integrated with other products in the MS portfolio.""Microsoft Analytics Platform System's most valuable feature is its ecosystems and seamless integration with other Microsoft reporting platforms and databases.""The Cube Solution is quite different when compared to the rest of the competition and has unique functionality for advanced analytics.""I like that it's integrated with other Azure products.""Helps our customers to discover trends, which provides useful information based on their business.""We leverage its capabilities for many applications.

"Having the prediction happen in the modular format allows you to start with a lower version of Exadata and then you can keep on upgrading it as per your requirement.""The performance of the tool is valuable.""It is a scalable product.""One of the most valuable parts of the solution is the high availability within the system and the performance enhancement without making any changes or fine-tuning the databases.""I like that Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service is easier to use and is a cost-saving solution because you won't need to hire people to run and maintain it.""The solution is very stable and offers great performance.""In the cloud, Exadata is more scalable. The on-prem version was limited. It wasn't that scalable because it only came in a quarter rack, half rack, and full rack. In the cloud, it scales to what you need."

Cons
"Machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities need to be more friendly for beginning users.""Microsoft Analytics Platform System could have better support.""I think the biggest problem with the product is that it does a data ingest model, which is very expensive.""We need better real-time analytics capabilities. It's a bit challenging for us.""Releases of new products and functionality is never accompanied by associated documentation, training and resources that adequately explain the release.""The flexibility of this solution needs to be improved because you cannot make changes at every one of the different steps.""Functionality needs to be more up-to-date with competing products.""​Hybrid environments are complex to manage."

More Microsoft Analytics Platform System Cons →

"The product's installation process needs improvement. It could be more accessible.""The customer's default choice is the on-premise version of this solution. Only when Oracle or the partners like us, can explain to customers the cloud value proposition, and if the compliance authorities allow, they can look into this cloud solution. It will take some time for Oracle to change its perception of customers' de-facto standards. Exadata used to be treated as a black box, which is not the case now. The customer is aware of what is happening inside, how the configurations have been made, and what patching has been applied. Oracle needs to market the cloud version better.""The support must be faster.""Oracle's support could be better.""The only downside is the difficulty in monitoring, and that's why I would like to implement MySQL database.""We use artificial intelligence for deep learning, and it would be a huge benefit to implement this in Oracle Exadata.""The solution's pricing could be improved.""Scaling Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service can be done, but the process is a little tedious, which could be an area for improvement in the solution."
