Mode Analytics vs. Oracle Analytics Cloud

Mode is a clear category winner for how it easy it is to go from interactive analysis to professional quality reporting. You can easily do all your SQL and quite a bit of R/Python. If you want to quickly go from your database to simple charts, this is your pick. If you need to do heavier data modeling, scheduling jobs, or ML, you'll need something else, like Databricks. In my opinion, the quality of visualizations and some developer/analyst features make Databricks an unacceptable substitute.

Oracle Data Visualization is very effective if used in an enterprise context with huge volumes of data coming from different systems. It supports dashboard and reporting capabilities and is easy to scale. It also allows you to leverage machine learning capabilities to extract hidden data trends. Visualization capabilities are powerful but not so various if compared to other solutions on the market. If you want to present a dashboard to an executive audience and you want to make your dashboards beautiful you must adapt them through PowerPoint.

• It allows me to undertake data visualization tasks by creating really insightful charts and dashboards
• It allows for easy sharing and work collaboration on data analysis tasks
• Mode has an easier to use SQL editor as well
• I love how it organizes all our SQL data tables into easy-to-view data we can draw insights on

• Available without of the box connectors for Salesforce and oracle Saas Cloud. This is a huge plus for our business since we don't need another middleware solution just for this sake.
• We are able to connect to our on-prem SQL Server database where we have our RMA database and other applications seamlessly without writing custom APIs.
• OAC writes directly into ADW which is another advantage for loading Excel files into ADW after dataflow transformations.
• OAC allows replication of the database from fusion ERP and lets us create subject areas using the data modeler.

• Date ranges aren't always the most intuitive to set, strangely
• Faster refresh rates would be ideal
• Would love more dynamic mobile device integration (alerts, etc)

Incentivized

• Reports that output data to portable and mobile devices should be in a better and more appropriate form and improved.
• In the beginning, the initial settings take some time, which I think requires a smart wizard to set up and get started.
• Must add mores diagrams and graphs

For the advanced user already familiar with Python. It is just the same tool, already managed and connected to the data.

Mode has dedicated agents who are online in a chatroom, ready to take on any questions and provide helpful feedback.

Oracle Analytics Support team is very proactive and I have never had a situation where I had to wait for more than a day or two to get my issues resolved. This is a very big help for us and we appreciate Oracle and its team for guaranteeing that experience.

We used both Qlik and Mode at our organization. The mode was used a quick analysis SQL tool while Qlik was our enterprise BI solution.

Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service (OBICS) does well in terms of handling data, creating joins, managing database relationships, and data integration from multiple sources. However, the visualisation features on Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service (OBICS) are limited when compared to other business intelligence tools like Looker or Tableau. Again, the choice of tool depends on your specific requirements. Both provide different features and both are good at what they offer.

• Extremely positive. It's a key feature in our application.
• Were it not for the account management bit, Mode would be hands-down our recommendation for anyone looking for cloud BI.

Incentivized

• ROI is better than average; the product pays for itself in the long run
• Ease of use, which is very important in today's busy environments.
• Can be costly based on the amount of user licensing, which is a flat cost per user.
