We performed a comparison between Oracle Analytics Cloud and SAS Visual Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The features that I find to be the most valuable are the BAS (Business Analytics), the Narrate feature, and the auto-visualization."
"A valuable feature is the speed of the 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."
"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."
"Mobility is the most valuable feature for us. All employees can access it from anywhere. It is a big advantage for us."
"It's great for consolidation and creating one source of truth."
"Data preparation is fantastic and fast. We were able to use multiple data sources and prepare the data quickly."
"The technical support is excellent, and they respond quickly."
"Data handling is one of the best features of SAS Visual Analytics."
"We've found the product to be stable and reliable."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
"The technical support services are good."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"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."
"The product should improve its user interface. It should be welcoming and modern. Developers should also find it easier to build data models. Oracle Analytics Cloud needs to have better visualizations and more options in the marketplace."
"It is less scalable than Snowflake."
"Analytics Cloud allows you to merge various data types and structure data from multiple sources."
"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."
"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 deployment isn't smooth. Deploying Visual Analytics on the cloud takes a lot of work, or you can use some providers that give you SAS as a service. For example, there is a provider called SaasNow. They host SAS Visual Analytics and the license. You can buy the license and deploy it there without the hassle of installation because deploying the software isn't easy."
"The licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
"The visualization should be better in SAS Visual Analytics. It is easy to use but when compared to other solutions it is lacking and the support is not very good."
"Colours used on report objects"
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"It is not as mature as competitors such as Tableau and QlikView."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
