Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, SAP and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."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."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's most valuable feature is its visualization."
"The technical support services are good."
"A valuable feature is the speed of the solution."
"I've discovered that the new layout of this product makes Docker sharing, machine learning support, and data backups more efficient. Unlike the older method of linking physical, pre-logical, and presentation layers separately, the new interface simplifies this process. Additionally, the integration of databases and machine learning is seamless, with the new visualization approach being particularly beautiful and highly beneficial."
"The best feature may be data flow, which is used to prepare and clean data."
"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 features that I find to be the most valuable are the BAS (Business Analytics), the Narrate feature, and the auto-visualization."
"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 can handle a large volume of data."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"It is highly efficient and easily scalable, particularly for handling large databases."
"I have found the most valuable aspect is the user-friendly environment and current features."
"It helps us fetch specific data sets per users' requirements."
"Essbase is extremely stable and low-maintenance."
"The solution is scalable."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"Its FAW feature has limitations in terms of usage."
"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."
"When we have, for example, a table with low performance, we have several issues with drawing some graphics in the Oracle cloud."
"It should simplify data connectivity and modeling, making data extraction more streamlined and adaptable for diverse use cases."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"As with most BI tools, the visualizations can be made much nicer. Currently, it has standard visualizations. They've been adding new visualizations, but we see animated visualizations from other vendors. It would be nice to have similar visualizations, such as the swarming visualizations, which are fairly new and very popular at the moment. I haven't seen that with Oracle. That would be nice."
"At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced."
"It's an expensive product to use."
"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."
"The initial setup is pretty complex."
"They should improve the solution's performance."
"The ability to drive external reporting out for development could be improved."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"There is room for improvement in terms of cost-effectiveness."
"I would like to see an integration with application performance management and a version control management tool."
