"The most valuable features of the solution are dashboarding and data visualization."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"It plays a crucial role in facilitating decision-making for various organizational stakeholders."

"This is a stable and scalable solution."
"It helps us fetch specific data sets per users' requirements."
"I have found the most valuable aspect is the user-friendly environment and current features."
"Essbase is extremely stable and low-maintenance."
"The solution can handle a large volume of data."
"Unlike relational, where you're linking together multiple tables, with Essbase, you basically define what the dimensions are beforehand, and you define the hierarchy, and then load the data. This allows you to do a pretty sophisticated analysis so that you can drill into it and slice and dice the data."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"It is highly efficient and easily scalable, particularly for handling large databases."
"The solution is scalable."
"The interfaces could be improved and some in-memory operations could be built in."
"This solution could be more adaptable in its application."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is lacking in charts. They should add more charts to it."
"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."
"Its machine learning and visualization capabilities can be improved. There should be more visualization options."
"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."
"It's not a failure of the product; it's just an architectural choice. It has to do with data modeling. I'm comparing this to another product, which is Oracle's developer client and probably called Oracle BI Developer Client Tool. The data modeler, which is cloud-based, and Oracle BI Developer Client Tool, which is local or on-premises-based, both can do the same thing in data modeling. However, the cloud tool does not have as many features as the Oracle BI Developer Client Tool, which is closest to the OBIEE Administration Tool with full feature data modeling, metadata development, and so forth. In a complex environment or implementation, that is the capability that you need."
"When you implement the product on a small scale, it doesn't generate any ROI."
"They should improve the solution's performance."
"The ability to drive external reporting out for development could be improved."
"Essbase has a programming language, and it has a couple of functions to do forecasting, however, their feature set for that is not that good."
"I would like to see an integration with application performance management and a version control management tool."
"The initial setup is pretty complex."
"There is room for improvement in terms of cost-effectiveness."
"It's an expensive product to use."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
