Mohd Farhan - PeerSpot reviewer
Has seamless data filtering and visualization for client satisfaction
One area for improvement is the cost, as it's a bit expensive. The caching mechanism also charges too much if I need to cache any data. Sometimes it takes time to display data, suggesting a need for enhancement in data visualization speed. Additionally, the role-level security is challenging to implement, and it could be improved to allow access control per department more easily.
Hafiz Abdul Mannan - PeerSpot reviewer
Empowers your entire organization to ask any question of any data—across any environment, on any device
The migration of older dash tools from the classic interface of Oracle BI prior to OAS launch to the newer Data Visualization and Oracle Analytics Cloud interfaces, including dashboards and metadata, is currently a cumbersome process. Improvements in this area would be highly beneficial. Additionally, the administration of the cloud, particularly the startup of services and linking of the WebLogic server and integrated components, takes longer than desired. In today's enterprise landscape, waiting forty minutes for the server to be operational is quite lengthy; ideally, this process should take a maximum of four minutes. It would be excellent to incorporate metadata management as an integral part of the Oracle Analytics Cloud. When dealing with integrated data from various sources, tracking data lineage and the entire data life cycle, from sources to report development and the mapping of reports to specific dashboards, should be seamlessly managed within the Oracle Analytics Cloud. This would eliminate the need for additional tools. Drawing a comparison, tools like Tableau have a feature enabling metadata management, making it easier to trace the complete data lineage of reports. Managing over seven hundred and thirty-six business dashboards, the metadata management capability within Tableau simplified the process of understanding how reports were developed, including details like associated tables, users, linked views, materialized views, data segmentations, ETL jobs, and the data warehouse stages. Enhancing metadata tracking within the Oracle Analytics Cloud layout would facilitate easy and practical management of the complete data life cycle, encompassing user accessibility and report permissions.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created."
"Easily able to connect with our other services and easy to manage."
"The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable."
"The query and dashboard capabilities are entirely good."
"QuickSight makes it easy to provision, create, and publish dashboards."
"The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there."
"A valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is that it's a cloud-native service provided by AWS. As all platforms within my company run on AWS, that's the leverage of Amazon QuickSight. Amazon QuickSight is also easy to use, and I find the native connectors from AWS valuable as well."
"It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis."
"It's robust. It has the ability to handle massive amounts. After reporting has been developed, there is an ease of use or a user-friendly interface for a trained workforce."
"It has the best feature for data augmentation."
"The scalability is acknowledged as pretty good, although my evaluation is limited because I used the tool for a short period."
"The technical support services are good."
"The ability to quickly search for and access relevant data is crucial."
"The best feature may be data flow, which is used to prepare and clean data."
"The product is easily customized."
"Analytics Cloud allows you to merge various data types and structure data from multiple sources."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement is the cost, as it's a bit expensive."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"Right now, you can't use Amazon QuickSight on other cloud providers, so I'd like it to have availability on other cloud providers. This is an area for improvement in the product. What I'd like to see in Amazon QuickSight in the future is a distributed centralized system where I can manage all reports in one place, and for Amazon QuickSight to become reporting as a service."
"There could be an end-to-end pipeline for data cleaning as well as presenting it using different visualizations."
"The product is quite expensive because the price is too close to QlikView's prices but it does not ring as well as QlikView."
"The cost of queries is very high."
"I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it."
"It's not ideal for reports that are more complex."
"When you implement the product on a small scale, it doesn't generate any ROI."
"Its machine learning and visualization capabilities can be improved. There should be more visualization options."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is lacking in charts. They should add more charts to it."
"The product should be improved in terms of connectors; right now the top twenty connectors are available, but OneDrive and Teradata are missing."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"It is less scalable than Snowflake."

"A highly affordable cost structure with fixed membership and timeframe basis options."
"Amazon QuickSight you subscribe and you use the service."
"The product pricing is better than other vendors."

"The Amazon QuickSight licensing model my company's on is pay-as-you-go, but I wouldn't be able to give the figures because that's handled by the finance department."
"The standard edition is free to use for exploration purposes while the enterprise edition needs to be paid for. The pricing for this solution is very reasonable."
"It is simpler and cheaper than other solutions."
