Mode vs. Oracle Data Visualization 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

• Providing live dashboards
• Sending scheduled reports
• Intaking data from a variety of sources

• 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)

• The only betterment we can do in this application is if oracle provides the method to implement CLOB data which contains audio, videos that will really make the application to the next level.

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.

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.

Tableau can be a somewhat difficult product for someone unfamiliar with it. Based on your query, search will produce a very high amount of data, which you then need to sort. Can be cumbersome to work with. Oracle Data Visualization Cloud is easy to use upon initial trial download, point and click, sort very easily, and machine learning really helps by learning various metrics a user takes advantage of in developing various reports, etc.

• 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.

• Has improved time to value for initiatives
• Saves reporting hours every week
• Eliminates need for dedicated user to prepare and batch reports
