We performed a comparison between Oracle Analytics Cloud and Oracle OBIEE based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Oracle Analytics Cloud has a slight edge in this comparison. It received better marks than Oracle OBIEE for its ease of deployment, scalability, and performance.
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's most valuable feature is its visualization."
"It's great for consolidation and creating one source of truth."
"The technical support services are good."
"It plays a crucial role in facilitating decision-making for various organizational stakeholders."
"The technical support is excellent, and they respond quickly."
"This is a stable and scalable solution."
"Analytics Cloud allows you to merge various data types and structure data from multiple sources."
"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."
"Oracle OBIEE is very easy to use. Looking at analytics, I think they have come a long way by adding new features like visualization, which is really cool."
"I have found the most valuable features are business intelligence and reporting."
"The scalability of the product is good."
"It is easy to use...I rate the scalability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"Its robustness is most valuable. It can handle massive amounts of data quickly. If it's properly configured and tuned, it can handle massive amounts of data very quickly to produce results. That to me is the number one feature."
"Dashboards provide us with various views and perspectives on our data, allowing us to analyze metrics such as revenue, occupancy rates, etc."
"I think the most valuable features are the ability to drill down, the graphs, and the scheduling for the reports to be received in Excel on a daily basis. Users like Excel, so it's good for them that they receive the reports by email, that they don't have to specify the schedule."
"I like the scheduling feature. It has an inbuilt scheduler which is very good, and it allows us to create agents, and those agents can be scheduled. It's quite flexible in that respect and goes into our IT infrastructure. The outputs are sent encrypted to various endpoints. Some are internal, and some are our clients, and it's encrypted at a high level. I do find Oracle OBIEE flexible. If there is stuff that's not in your model or schema, it's very flexible to create SQL scripts and create the data you want. It's quite nice to create a dashboard in OBIEE, and that's pretty straightforward in the way you drag and drop everything. You can create sections, and you can add elements to your page. That bit of the interface is relatively straightforward."
"The solution could be more flexible."
"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."
"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."
"Analytics Cloud allows you to merge various data types and structure data from multiple sources."
"When you implement the product on a small scale, it doesn't generate any ROI."
"Its machine learning and visualization capabilities can be improved. There should be more visualization options."
"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 FAW feature has limitations in terms of usage."
"The performance could improve and in a future release, they could provide more virtualization options."
"There are times we have slowness when processing the reports with Oracle OBIEE. Improving the performance would be beneficial."
"The functionality to customize and modify reports has been removed, and it would be beneficial to reinstall it, as it allows greater customization and flexibility in creating reports."
"The ability to migrate from one version to another, such as doing so from version 11 to an upgraded 12 of Oracle business environment, can be difficult."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Microsoft Office."
"There should be more integration in the solution. For example, there should be one solution with multiple functionalities so that other solutions are not needed. Having one solution with all the needed functionality would be helpful."
"We were not satisfied with the support, because we could not obtain answers or solutions."
"One feature I would definitely like to see is the ability to provide the in-memory data. Oracle might have some plugins but, as of now, that feature isn't available out-of-the-box. You might have to purchase that feature."
