Oracle Data Visualization Cloud enables me to reduce time collecting, preparing, modeling, and visualizing data scattered in all ETL services.
  • Collect data across all external data sources regardless of the size.
  • Allows users to reuse data models.
  • Reduce overall cost since rebuilding models isn’t needed.
  • Unavailability of mobile application, mainly on-premise solutions.
  • Lacks enough documentation for collecting data from on-premise services.
There are tons of data warehouse solutions out there in the market, but I would recommend either SAP DWC or this solution since they are more or less the same. With Oracle Data Visualization Cloud, I do not need to manually visualize data.

I utilized Oracle Data Visualization Cloud in my organization to solve a variety of business analytics needs, from providing live updating dashboards to the relevant executive teams, to analyzing the impact of various business moves on profitability and on customer use patterns. This has solved our problem of a lack of visibility into the actual impact of initiatives and reporting them to relevant people
  • Providing live dashboards
  • Sending scheduled reports
  • Intaking data from a variety of sources
  • Overall usability
  • Connection to newer data sources
  • Dated interface
Oracle Data Visualization Cloud is very well suited to your business if you have a large amount of oracle applications already within your tech stack. If you're looking to connect to data sources outside of the Oracle universe, you can expect to run into problems fairly regularly

Oracle Data Visualization Cloud is a piece of framework to the much larger Oracle Technology Network. Oracle Data Visualization Cloud can be utilized on the desktop and can initially be trialed for free. It provides for data analysis and visuals, enabling end users to very quickly sort through massive amounts of data very quickly and cohesively. Oracle Data Visualization Cloud resides in the cloud and can be used virtually by an entire department, by end user, etc. Users can format the way they would like to present the data, by column, sort, various heading methods, etc. Ease of use is very key with this tool. It doesn't take very long at all to begin working and mastering the product; point and click and you're off running. It's important to note the product utilizes machine learning, which in today's very extensive informational environments is key to simplification.
  • Report generation
  • Self-service tool
  • Flexible
  • Choosing the right charts can take time on presenting data
  • Using predictable patterns (e.g., machine learning) does take a little time
  • Formation of data; if you're not certain, it may take time to figure that aspect out
Great for analytics, presentation of data, and creating slick data charts. Well suited towards providing eye-catching charts and graphical data, presenting to C-level upper management. I think overall this is a great product and I have not found an area were it would not be well suited.

In many projects, we need analysis and big data reports and also one of our recommendations to our customers because we are satisfied with its stability, speed, performance, and quality. It is a comprehensive and integrated data analysis platform that makes various tools available in one software and is suitable for all businesses and industries, large and small, through machine learning and artificial intelligence. Given that the required resources based on the cloud and the amount used can be purchased according to the need, it is very cost-effective considering the facilities provided, as well as reports and results that are analyzed from various sources and databases in growth. Industry and sales growth have a positive impact and have made our collection smarter and smarter. Data and databases are everywhere and access to information alone is not enough, because raw data must be analyzed via using special advanced platforms and transformed from normal to usable forms and legible models.
  • High-speed connection to a wide range of data sources and import of various databases with the ability of agile analyzing big data
  • Taking data from all sources and databases
  • Use artificial intelligence in data analysis and speed up decision-making
  • 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
Our hands are open to producing diverse reports and data analysis. When the initial setup was done and after a short time we got acquainted with this platform, we easily connected different sources and other databases to this platform and via Data Model Editor to model data, which we can use in pixel-perfect reports. It has a great user interface with a genius machine-learning system.

We use Oracle Analytics Cloud in our IT, human resources, procurement and solutions group departments for data storage, data analytics, reporting and forecasting. We incorporated BI to have data, reporting, analytics, forecasting, etc., in one tool, as opposed to more manual efforts that used multiple platforms. Some data is structured and some is unstructured.
  • Easy to learn and navigate
  • Real time reporting
  • Easy to import any type of data
  • Easy to customize
  • Statistics dashboard
  • Takes a long time to generate a data model
  • Servers are busy sometimes
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.

OACS is used on a distributed reporting platform in the US for reporting to the UK parent. It is a global organization in the infrastructure and construction space. OACS solves the consolidation issues posed by large global organizations on different GL / ERP platforms, time zones, currencies and sizes. Not the entire organization uses OACS, however, given the Oracle universe an appropriate product for size and utility is definitely available.
  • Financial Consolidation (Actuals)
  • Financial Consolidation (Forecast)
  • Financial Consolidation (Budget)
  • Divisional reporting
  • Management reporting and distribution
  • Integration with Excel
  • Ease of Cloud / Web reporting development
  • Exporting and building forms for either cloud use or Excel
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

Oracle Analytics Cloud is being used in our HR organization to perform various reporting and decision functions. Its heavily used by our corporate HR department to perform various HR functions like Leave Accrual, and other HR management functions. It provides our user groups more real-time information so that the right decisions can be made on time.
  • From the user's perspective, the ease of using the interface is very intuitive.
  • Easy to use and set up in Oracle PAAS.
  • The autonomous feature really removes the traditional burden off our organization.
  • The implementation of the Oracle Analytics Cloud esp the ODI installation that goes with it should be streamlined so that we can install the product with ease.
  • The whole patching process should be streamlined so that there is minimal disruption to the service.
  • The whole backup and recovery process should be made more intuitive.
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.

Oracle Analytics Cloud will be used across the whole organization including for Financial Planning and Analysis as well. This is playing a key roll in company-wide day to day operations to upload the budget/forecast and making the decisions based on the reporting out of Oracle Analytics Cloud. It will be really helpful for business users that they don't need to provide the password as it has the capability to use their network ID and password.
  • Oracle Analytics Cloud has a more powerful processing engine. We are seeing tremendous improvement in processing huge data/files.
  • Oracle Analytics Cloud is more stable and no more hiccups for updates/patches as it will be taken care of by Oracle.
  • Oracle Analytics Cloud's multi-layer security will add a bonus to this product. It is more secure.
  • Oracle Analytics Cloud performance is great and business users are very happy about this great product.
  • It will be great if they can do some UI improvements for Oracle Analytics Cloud, though the functionality is working perfectly.
  • It will be great if we can get some more access to the file system. Currently, we are limited to few objects related to applications and it will be difficult to address few issues quickly though we can address those issues using other methods(but time taking).
  • Apart from the above 2 concerns, we don't see any issues and everything is perfectly working and business users are impressed with the performance of their retrievals/reports.
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.

Oracle Analytics Cloud is used across the organization. It has powerful data visualizations and self-service discovery for management reporting. Essbase is part of Oracle Analytics Cloud, which is useful in what-if and scenario management. Our departments can co-develop datasets and share insights via interactive storytelling. It can highlight, abnormalities (variances from norms), like a supplier changing bank accounts one day before the due date.
  • Data can be fed by any source, via Oracle ERP Cloud, Oracle HCM, Oracle Sales Cloud etc. This gives a holistic and comprehensive view of the data.
  • Apart from applications from Oracle, data from third-party sources can also be accessed, namely Google Analytics, Salesforce, Dropbox etc.
  • Oracle Analytics Cloud is mobile and tablet friendly.
  • It can handle large data sets in visualizations.
  • Oracle has lots of features in its roadmap and continuously coming up with new features. One has to watch out for the features in the roadmap.
  • There are a couple of known issues in the product. It is a good idea to go through them in the Oracle documentation.
  • Advanced analytics function does not work with Essbase data sources. Oracle is working on resolving it.
  • There are a couple of known issues with Mongo DB connection and data sources.
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.

Essbase Cloud (Now stand-alone previously in OAC) is used internally and at clients for a variety of analysis. From financials to sales to marketing. It allows us to quickly do analysis, find trends and create actionable decisions. We can create reports, and dashboards from the data to allow the executives to make better informed decisions and get a quick detailed analysis and forecast of the information.
  • Hybrid cubes allow for quick aggregation of data so users don't have to wait for calculations to occur
  • Embedded Drill to both on-prem and Cloud sources. This allows us to extend the analysis and provide greater research capabilities.
  • Sandboxing allows for quick efficient what-if analysis without a ton of data replication.
  • It is lacking an internal scheduler so external schedulers must be used in automation.
  • The outline editor does not allow for some of the on-prem functionality like copying hierarchies between cubes using cut and paste.
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.

HR reporting data. Our client groups complaints about our HR reporting data are not in real-time.
  • Easy to build.
  • Easy for end-users to run.
  • Friendlier dashboards with more aesthetic features for our end-users.
  • Prettier exporting options for our client groups to insert nicely into a presentation.
  • A mobile reporting app to park reports for executives who do not like to log into Oracle Business Intelligence to see reporting data.
It's suited to scheduled reporting needs. It could use improvement in providing real-time data for ad-hoc reporting needs.

Using it as a case management system for HR transactions. It is used by total force (DoD USAF), Active, Reserve, Guard, DoD Civilians, and retirees. It allow HR processes from hire to retire.
  • Configurable HR processes.
  • No more customization! The app we had built was 90% customization. We've moved from configuration to customization.
  • Improved way to integrate with other DoD systems.
Well suited for building HR processes. Difficult with DoD red tape.

Oracle Business Cloud creates a platform for business intelligent applications that helps in marketing and advertising products and services in the organization. It's being used by a department. It has enabled access to business at any given time and place on the cloud. It has also helped in analysing and visualising business data and also enabled sharing of data on any device.
  • Analyses data very well and in the simplest way of understanding.
  • Gives a nice user experience with its user interface, full of guidance and tutorials to help its users.
  • Easy to set up and at a low cost, that is, you set up what you want to use for your business.
  • Integration of data is easy due to variety of options.
  • Add more tutorials for users to be conversant with this software.
  • Reduce the price of various premium services offered by Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud.

OAC is a necessity if you are using other Oracle products and are managing a lot of data (larger companies, I'm talking to you). OAC was being used across most of the departments at my former company to collect data and access it from anywhere. It was efficient and obviously connected well to Oracle programs, but also to other sources.
  • Fantastic end-to-end business solution with OAC acting as the glue to hold it all together.
  • Customer service was phenomenal and we were able to get everything up and running in a short period of time.
  • Quick, reliable data that seamlessly integrated with our existing BI tools as well as external vendors.
  • Ease of use needs to be more heavily emphasized. Without some sort of IT background this will be virtually impossible to work with.
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 used Oracle's Analytics cloud service as a visualization tool for our data sets. Oracle's Analytics cloud service helps us identify and analyze device functionality and user behavior. We also use the tool to keep each department up to date and understand the progress of certain projects. The application helps us understand pain points of the customer experience and how we can improve those.
  • Ability to analyze large data sets and ability to create intuitive, easy to understand reports.
  • The vast number of connectors. We have the ability to pull in data from a number of other tools for deeper analysis.
  • Great set of out of the box reports/templates, however; tool provides the ability for customizating and building reports that pertain to specific issues an organization is trying to find.
  • Like any application, when you begin using it there is a steep learning curve. UI can be a bit cumbersome.
  • Even though Oracle's solution can handle large data sets, rendering of reports can take a fairly long time if the parameter set is large.
  • Oracle tool provides a wealth of capabilities and features, however; this comes with a heavy price. The tool can become expensive quickly.
  • Warranty support
  • Customer/sales tracking
  • Understanding user and device behavior
  • User location and distribution
