Oracle Analytics Cloud vs. Sisense for Cloud Data Teams

I would say if you are already using Oracle products, it's smart or wise to utilize this and any other product from Oracle. A bundle package is always helpful. The migration to everything to the cloud makes practical and business sense, given the major upside. Cost and the training associated with it are always an impediment.

Sisense for Cloud Data Teams is suited so well for our project that works with lots of data and needs some ways to share data internally or externally with our clients. It's very easy to pull out the data from the sense in best and in a suitable format and moreover a huge number of options are available there to represent the data. All features of this Sisense for cloud data teams software can be taken advantage of if you have a team who are well versed in data analytics, data management, and programming.

• 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.

• Built-in SQL formatters take the pain out of manipulating date/time objects.

• 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

• Include more appropriate updates in their monthly newsletter as opposed to the general overview that doesn't always have the most pertinent information at the forefront.
• There are bugs at times when certain dashboards are down, though not in an overwhelming way.
• If you do not tag something it shows up in multiple views and may be accessible to people that it should not be, though that is a user error it may make sense to prompt for a tag and security setting.

I gave this rating because it's near perfect. A rating is 9 for the tremendous work being put behind the tool. The tool that is safe and easily accessible to all colleagues in the company with the help of various levels of security or data accessibility to each colleague/team. It is fast, accurate, and downloads the data in no time.

My company has had Periscope for various use cases in the past and I think that this program opens up complex data reports to non-technical people in a really accessible way (even though the learning curve is a big one). We are now integrating Sisense for Cloud Data Teams at a larger level both for internal data exploration and for customer facing dashboards and reports.
