Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Analytics Cloud
Our Organization is in Oracle Saas Cloud for ERP. Oracle Analytics Cloud is the reporting and integration solution that sits on top of Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse for our data warehousing needs from the fusion ERP cloud. We are piloting OAC for just one department within our organization. Our goal is to make it an enterprise-wide solution for our summarized reporting needs.
- 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.
- OAC should allow writing back into Oracle Saas Cloud.
- OAC Canvas view has some limitations in terms of choosing colors for the chart objects and other objects.
- It doesn't allow the drill to detail options like that available in classic view for drilling to analysis from canvas view.
We are primarily an Oracle shop. OAC jives well with our business needs and is the most sought after solution if your organization is a major Oracle shop. OAC provides connectors out of the box and makes data analysis a breeze even if it has to be from totally disparate sources. AI and machine learning capabilities are a good forward-looking strategy and is a definite win for the product and its roadmap.

Evaluating Oracle Analytics Cloud and Competitors
Yes - Oracle Analytics replaced the previously existing on-prem SQL Server reporting. When we moved to Cloud, our on-prem solutions could not be lifted and shifted to cloud directly. Hence we went ahead with Oracle Fusion SaaS and then used the built-in Fusion ERP adapter in OAC to access data from ERP and created Datasets in OAC for reporting.
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Product Reputation
It was the necessity and the product reputation that made us to continue with Oracle Analytics Cloud solution. When we implemented Oracle Fusion SaaS, we didn't have everything we wanted from OTBI for our analytical reporting. OAC bridged that gap and provided us with a much enhanced reporting for our org needs.
We just renewed our subscription of OAC for couple more years. This is a proof that we have become more comfortable with the product and would love to use it for our organization. OAC does have some limitations which we couldn't have discovered until we use the product, so there could be no change in our evaluation.
