Oracle Analytics Cloud Reviews

Oracle Analytics Cloud is well suited for an environment where the data warehouse is well defined with star schema structures. It may not work if the data structure is not well defined in terms of complex reporting. OAC's Day By Day app is a clear win and a cool addition to executives whether it is integration with Slack or for identifying issues in realtime.

Right now I use Data Sync to extract data from Oracle Fusion Saas Cloud to load into OAC. The issue here is that now we implemented single sign-on, we cannot use data sync to extract files from the UCM content management server. This is one of the biggest challenges for us right now. Otherwise, the out of the box connectors are super helpful and make our experience of connecting disparate sources a breeze.

Best for large data analysis and reporting. Mainly in today's social world, analyzing a big crunch of data in a short amount of time is crucial. Currently this is the best in the market. It has some room for improvement but still better than its competitors. The initial setup is easy and Oracle has great customer support when it comes to Oracle Analytics Cloud.

Well suited for large, global, multi -currency, multi -departmental deployments, where timezone, language and consolidations is a challenge.

Departmental reporting can take various forms. The key is the seamless roll up and easy drilling into reporting details makes the process much more convenient and time saving

Currently all sources of data within OACS comes from the Oracle universe. We use JDE for the GL and even so have had persistent difficulties integrating the two sources. It is definitely not real time, as we have a team of consultants working on this and other integration projects.

Oracle Analytics is improving how easily we, as a team, can access specific information and visualize and report our analytics. Our company focuses heavily on analytics and the artificial intelligence behind that data. Oracle Analytics has helped us stay at the forefront of telecommunication competition. We are now embracing analytics and systematic statistical reasoning to make decisions that improve efficiency, risk management, and profits in our organization.

Oracle Analytics Cloud allows our team to work remote and generate valuable customer insights that can be used to direct marketing expenditures. This has tremendously helped our marketing department better reallocate budgets during our planning phase. Oracle Analytics Cloud has enabled our market managers to gain competitive intelligence on their specific market conditions, target consumers more successfully, and optimize their sales processes.

Some specific scenarios where Oracle Analytics Cloud is well suited for financial reports, employee-related reports, sales reports, forecasting, narrative description, and many more. In general, it's well suited for all areas where data visualization impacts decision making with forecast and narrative description with language processing feature. A specific scenario where Oracle Analytics Cloud is less appropriate is where complex data visualization is not needed and a simple report could do the job.

The data visualization is better than the other data analytics reporting tools have. Integrating data sources is easy. The slice-and-dice of data for filtering purposes is better. Both Oracle and non-Oracle product suites can be used and integrated with Oracle Analytics Cloud.

Oracle Analytics Cloud is an enterprise-scale application. It is of great help if you use applications from Oracle and third parties like Salesforce. Oracle is integrating machine learning and artificial intelligence in their analytics cloud. It comes with next-generation Excel integration which includes cube design, dimension modeling, and key process indicators. Oracle Analytics Cloud can be scaled up and down with a click of the mouse.

Oracle Analytics Cloud can be connected with native sources. Mongo DB, Google Analytics, Dropbox, Salesforce, Amazon Redshift, MySQL etc. are supported. Many other sources are listed in the roadmap and will become available soon. All the supported sources can be integrated easily there is no major development effort. Oracle Analytics Cloud is offered as a PaaS. It is elastic which means easily scalable based on the need.

It's suited to scheduled reporting needs. It could use improvement in providing real-time data for ad-hoc reporting needs.

Currently, there is a 1 hour lag time between Oracle Business Intelligence and Taleo. Our clients are not happy with that when they need to run real reports at the last minute.

This tool is for reporting to the management level to arrive at strategic decisions. It is easy to use and offers enhanced features.

DB access to Privet subnet to could possiblely be direct, needs enhancement.

Business Intelligence Cloud is well suited for all our business units including sales, finance, marketing, and HR operations.

The user interface to design the reports and dashboards is very intuitive. The normal user can learn the product with ease without any technical knowledge. For the technical team, it's very easy to use the interface. The whole patching process is where there is a disconnect.

We are able to connect all our data sources with Oracle Analytics Cloud with ease.

We are using this product company-wide and it is well suited across the applications. For user uploads, it is quick and great for huge data/file loads. Another interesting thing is we are able to use our current on-prem scheduler for Oracle Analytics Cloud without any changes.

Currently, we need to use third party or Oracle plug-ins to connect to specific data sources, hope these will be embedded in Market Place.

We use it often during close processes to allow the accountants to see how the process is going, what entries might be missing. We also use it heavily for sales analysis to see how we are doing and to forecast where we expect to be.

Essbase Cloud has new features where users can spin up their own Essbase database from Excel (with some prior knowledge of Essbase). This is a very exciting feature for users with an appetite of learning and doing something more.

Essbase can perform various business calculations and operations faster than other tools available in the market.

Essbase Cloud is well suited for data analytics. It could be better at providing more user-friendly reports, charts, and graphs report integration. Would like the capability to drill through more robustly with various databases not only limited to Oracle databases. Essbase Cloud is well suited for a medium level of tech-savvy users.

We like Oracle Business Cloud because we are able to develop the reports quickly with summaries as well as detailed data.

Well suited for building HR processes. Difficult with DoD red tape.

It's difficult with DoD policies, but Oracle works well with govt.

Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service (OBICS) works well if you wish to work with just data and your requirements do not center around reporting or business intelligence for business users. It gives you a one stop shop for all data management. However, if you wish to generate reports and provide graphical insights, then this is not the tool you should be looking at.

Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service (OBICS) handles data integration well and it would be safe to say it is one of the best tools in the market for this. If your business uses several Oracle products and services (especially an Oracle database / warehouse), you might want to consider switching to Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service (OBICS) as your data management tool. Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service (OBICS) integrates especially well with other Oracle products.

It is well suited for traditional essbase functionality.

Data source connectivity is not an issue. Aside from Oracle databases, non-financial (statistical) data are entered manually.

Well suited:
Perfect for organizations where they have multiple databases and they have to damp everything in a single tool. This is helpful not only to joint databases together (shipments with POS data for example) but also for employees to learn only ONE tool to get all the data they from different sources.

Less appropriate:
If you need to go deep into analyzing the data beyond a table. The data visualization properties are pretty limited compared to Tableau/Power BI/Spotfire.

As I said before, Whirlpool connects a lot of different sources to Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service. I was surprised! It seems that 80%+ of the data I need is seating on this platform. I'm not sure how easy it is to set up to different data sources, I remember that at P&G they were struggling with it.

In my opinion, OAC works best to support operations across multiple departments, programs, and even countries as well as for integrating with legacy systems. It's all about extracting the right data from the right sources and having that information easily accessible from various endpoints. If you are centrally located with a small operation then there is little to no need for such a large BI tool that can sometimes be a bit overwhelming even in a larger company.

We primarily used Oracle programs and software and so needless to say the connectivity and usability between MySQL and other such programs with OAC is fast and efficient. Pulling data, running reports, accessing information remotely, and sending updates works really well with a server such as OAC.

It is well suited for large businesses in terms of staff size and duties.
It's also appropriate for analysis and studying various business patterns of products and services.

Sometimes merging in real time over the cloud may lead to vulnerability to malwares and other attacks. Some data sources may be incompatible with merging into the cloud.

Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service is well suited for customers who want to move to start their first Business Intelligence Reporting Tool (over the cloud). Also, this is a good option for customers who use Traditional on-premise OBIEE and don't have a use case for iBots and BI Publisher. And, for customers who don't want to upgrade often. Oracle BICS will push the latest updates from backend. BICS is a perfect solution for small companies that don't have a BI Administrator to do patching and updates.

Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition is known for this connectivity to multiple data sources. Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition can connect to any database that supports ODBC and JDBC. Almost all the major databases today support ODBC and JDBC. Visual Analyzer, which is a part of Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service is a game changer as it allows users to generate reports directly from Microsoft Excel / CSV - which is the most used format after relational databases to store data. Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service can connect to all data sources that an on-premise Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition can connect to.

Variety of different data sources can be pulled into their analytics tools:

• Extensive documentation on how to connect (makes it extremely easy to reference something if you run into an issue) specific data sources. Ability to pull data from multiple sources
• Easy to install and create parameters

Oracle Analytics Cloud is best suited where an organization is planning to move to Oracle Cloud Service with most of its application present in the enterprise architecture. This gives flexibility to have data load into Oracle Cloud data warehouse and makes it easy to report in Oracle Analytics Cloud. Oracle Analytics Cloud also imparts benefits by adding Essbase in it, where organization also wants to do some multi-dimensional analytics.

It pretty much covers all range of data sources to merge from different data sources. This gives flexibility of data virtualization and report on it.
