Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."The technical support services are good."
"Mobility is the most valuable feature for us. All employees can access it from anywhere. It is a big advantage for us."
"It's really an enterprise solution. It has a dashboard, like standard dashboarding functionality. It also has reporting capabilities for producing pixel-perfect reports, bursting large volumes of a document if you need to. It has interactive data discovery functionality, which you would use to explore your data, bring your own data, and merge it with maybe the data from an enterprise data warehouse to get new insights from the pre-existing data. It has machine learning embedded in the solution. If you're new to machine learning, it's a really good way to get into it, because it's all within this platform, and it's really easy to use."
"The technical support is excellent, and they respond quickly."
"The best feature may be data flow, which is used to prepare and clean data."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's most valuable feature is its visualization."
"It plays a crucial role in facilitating decision-making for various organizational stakeholders."
"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."
"It is very fast compared to other normal databases, like SQL and MySQL."
"It helps us fetch specific data sets per users' requirements."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Essbase is extremely stable and low-maintenance."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"It is highly efficient and easily scalable, particularly for handling large databases."
"The product could benefit from increased flexibility compared to other vendors."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"They could improve the ease of developing the dashboard and interacting with it."
"The interfaces could be improved and some in-memory operations could be built in."
"The product should be improved in terms of connectors; right now the top twenty connectors are available, but OneDrive and Teradata are missing."
"It should simplify data connectivity and modeling, making data extraction more streamlined and adaptable for diverse use cases."
"Analytics Cloud allows you to merge various data types and structure data from multiple sources."
"When we have, for example, a table with low performance, we have several issues with drawing some graphics in the Oracle cloud."
"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."
"It's an expensive product to use."
"They should improve the solution's performance."
"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."
"The ability to drive external reporting out for development could be improved."
"The consolidation engine, which is HFM or FCCS, needs some room for improvement."
