We performed a comparison between Oracle Analytics Cloud and Tableau 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 ability to quickly search for and access relevant data is crucial."
"Data preparation is fantastic and fast. We were able to use multiple data sources and prepare the data quickly."
"This is a stable and scalable 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."
"A valuable feature is the speed of the solution."
"Analytics Cloud allows you to merge various data types and structure data from multiple sources."
"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's valuable feature is that it is user-friendly and doesn't require much time for understanding. The solution is stable. The initial setup was straightforward."
"There are already connectors to almost every single major database and service that you can possibly think of."
"While using this solution I have found the valuable features to be ease of use and the visualization. It is a complete solution."
"The solution has great features which nobody can beat, you can do a lot of customizations, such as use different dimensions and colorize them. Additionally, you can use the numeric values for the customization, which is an exceptional feature."
"The dashboards are amazing, with different report types and stunning visuals. Most importantly, Tableau's AI with machine learning automatically predicts features and reports based on historical data. These are the three most valuable features for me."
"Analysis is now more visual than in the past."
"It has made the reporting stage simple and enabled us to focus mainly on the ETL part"
"Tableau Prep tool for data preparation is a most valuable tool."
"I have found many of the self-service features valuable."
"The interfaces could be improved and some in-memory operations could be built in."
"The migration of older dash tools from the classic interface of Oracle BI prior to OAS launch to the newer Data Visualization and Oracle Analytics Cloud interfaces, including dashboards and metadata, is currently a cumbersome process. Improvements in this area would be highly beneficial. Additionally, the administration of the cloud, particularly the startup of services and linking of the WebLogic server and integrated components, takes longer than desired. In today's enterprise landscape, waiting forty minutes for the server to be operational is quite lengthy; ideally, this process should take a maximum of four minutes. It would be excellent to incorporate metadata management as an integral part of the Oracle Analytics Cloud. When dealing with integrated data from various sources, tracking data lineage and the entire data life cycle, from sources to report development and the mapping of reports to specific dashboards, should be seamlessly managed within the Oracle Analytics Cloud. This would eliminate the need for additional tools. Drawing a comparison, tools like Tableau have a feature enabling metadata management, making it easier to trace the complete data lineage of reports. Managing over seven hundred and thirty-six business dashboards, the metadata management capability within Tableau simplified the process of understanding how reports were developed, including details like associated tables, users, linked views, materialized views, data segmentations, ETL jobs, and the data warehouse stages. Enhancing metadata tracking within the Oracle Analytics Cloud layout would facilitate easy and practical management of the complete data life cycle, encompassing user accessibility and report permissions."
"The product should be improved in terms of connectors; right now the top twenty connectors are available, but OneDrive and Teradata are missing."
"This solution could be more adaptable in its application."
"The learning curve should be improved, and I'm uncertain if tutorials are readily available or easily accessible. We may have resorted to looking on YouTube for such information. Having easily understandable documents or guides for new users would be beneficial. AI integration would be an interesting feature to add in the next release."
"The product could benefit from increased flexibility compared to other vendors."
"It should simplify data connectivity and modeling, making data extraction more streamlined and adaptable for diverse use cases."
"Its machine learning and visualization capabilities can be improved. There should be more visualization options."
"The architecture should be improved to better handle the data."
"It should have more integration with different tools and technologies. Its licensing cost should also be improved."
"The product needs to allow for better ways to drill down more effectively on the information at hand."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"Formatting controls could use some improvement."
"It's not an aesthetic platform at the moment."
"Implementation requires a technical background."
"If I have to develop any, for example, pie charts, I can develop them just fine. However, if I have to develop a donut chart, that I cannot do it in a simple way. There are tricks that I need to use if I have to design a donut chart. It should be more flexible and provide more visualization options."
