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 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."
"It has the best feature for data augmentation."
"The most valuable features of the solution are dashboarding and data visualization."
"Analytics Cloud allows you to merge various data types and structure data from multiple sources."
"Mobility is the most valuable feature for us. All employees can access it from anywhere. It is a big advantage for us."
"It plays a crucial role in facilitating decision-making for various organizational stakeholders."
"The technical support services are good."
"The AI/ML enablement is useful, as many reporting tools do not offer machine learning models as of now, without writing customized code."
"The technical support services are good."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"The most solution's notable aspect, in my view, is the ability to integrate various data sources and harness advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. This helps with quality assurance processes."
"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'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."
"It is expensive."
"Its FAW feature has limitations in terms of usage."
"They could improve the ease of developing the dashboard and interacting with it."
"The product should be improved in terms of connectors; right now the top twenty connectors are available, but OneDrive and Teradata are missing."
"Its machine learning and visualization capabilities can be improved. There should be more visualization options."
"This solution could be more adaptable in its application."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"The licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
"Colours used on report objects"
"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."
"There is a need for coding when it comes to digital reporting which can be intimidating."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"The charts and tables could use better sorting, primarily using other variables than the ones on the figure. If they could implement views like in the older version (previous to Viya), it would be very nice."
