Oracle Analytics Cloud
Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Analytics Server
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.
Pros
- 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.
Cons
- 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.
We are an Oracle shop. We use Oracle Cloud ERP, HCM and EPM. Hence, Oracle Analytics Cloud is a natural extension. We also use third-party software like Salesforce which can be easily integrated. We have a long-standing relationship with Oracle, and we attend various Oracle events from time to time. We are also aware of the upcoming features which are listed in the roadmap.
