Have saved significant operational costs and streamlined alert-driven analytics with customizable dashboards
I definitely see some disadvantages in Apache Superset, particularly in the tagging feature which is not up to the mark, creating a little bit of mess for the administrators. We work with a Role-Based Access Control feature in the product. I assess this feature as good; they have permissions which are in more plain English, but there is a little bit of convenience missed out because if I have to create a super user apart from admin, I need to add all the permissions manually.

Data projects have grown rapidly and support complex analytics and quick dashboard delivery
Some things that could be improved in Oracle Analytics Cloud is definitely the way it works. In some cases, for example, if you want to create analytic functions such as the percentage of a measure over another, which is a straightforward question you might ask, it appears simple to do, but the result is not what you expect. I would make it more user-friendly in terms of creating new measures. The measure creation feature could be improved. In terms of functionality, there are not many functions that are completely missing. There is one aspect that if you compare it with Power BI from Microsoft, which works completely in memory and therefore puts everything in memory to allow many calculations on the fly on what is in memory, that is missing, but it is architecturally different and would not be possible to ask for something like that. Some time features and time series analysis functions could be improved. Calculating a year ago and previous period functions could definitely work with some improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The no-code interface is the most valuable as it allows us to operate without constant support from the data engineering team, fostering a self-service environment."
"Apache Superset allows us to set up alerts; for instance, if the failure rate exceeds 1.5%, we receive an alert to address the issue with our integration partners."
"It is a good visual solution tool in an open-source category."
"I see savings from using Apache Superset in both time and money, particularly with the cost reduced by roughly 99% compared to Tableau where we previously paid almost 50k annually."
"When you click on any chart, you can apply the filter without any effort."
"It's very easy, reliable, and trustable because it's an Apache open-source product."
"What I appreciate most about Apache Superset is its text search feature, including searching with small and capital letters."
"Apache Superset is a lightweight reporting tool with a lot of functions and flexibility, where you can build the dataset, build charts, and dashboards from the user interface."
"Mobility is the most valuable feature for us, as all employees can access it from anywhere, which is a big advantage for us."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's most valuable feature is its visualization."
"Depending on the needs of business to business, but as far a visualizations are concerned, this is a good product."
"It's rather user-friendly."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud allowed us to deliver faster analytics and to have a self-secured, self-tuning, self-maintained platform."
"The scalability is acknowledged as pretty good, although my evaluation is limited because I used the tool for a short period."
"The product is able to compare with other tools on the market; it has everything you need, everything you can find in other tools such as Tableau and Power BI, and additionally, it has history, so you get a robust solution with support."
"The specific capability I find important in Oracle Analytics Cloud is that it allows the basic user to easily drag and drop data. I also like that the solution allows the user to decide what to measure and what to see in the reports."
 

Cons

"Dynamic dashboarding could improve to enable smooth navigation when transitioning from a higher to a lower view, allowing for easy accessibility."
"Automation in terms of APIs for creating roles, and giving privileges to the user can be improved."
"With Apache Superset, we had some problems with the permissions when we had too many users."
"Apache Superset could be improved by enhancing its interactivity and engagement capabilities."
"Areas of Apache Superset that could be improved include enhancing the data visualization features and addressing the overall data sourcing limitations, such as the 800 kilobyte limit per query that sometimes restricts our analysis, especially if we need to access data from many years back."
"Dark mode would be the main thing I would like; it does not really work because the chart text cannot be white in a dark mode setup, so it is not feasible."
"I definitely see some disadvantages in Apache Superset, particularly in the tagging feature which is not up to the mark, creating a little bit of mess for the administrators."
"When comparing Apache Superset with Elasticsearch and Solar Search, it lacks some features that come with Elasticsearch, such as Kibana."
"The product could benefit from increased flexibility compared to other vendors."
"It is expensive."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is lacking in charts. They should add more charts to it."
"We did not have a positive experience with technical support."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"As with most BI tools, the visualizations can be made much nicer. Currently, it has standard visualizations. They've been adding new visualizations, but we see animated visualizations from other vendors. It would be nice to have similar visualizations, such as the swarming visualizations, which are fairly new and very popular at the moment. I haven't seen that with Oracle. That would be nice."
"Its FAW feature has limitations in terms of usage."
"The learning curve should be improved, and I'm uncertain if tutorials are readily available or easily accessible. We may have resorted to looking on YouTube for such information. Having easily understandable documents or guides for new users would be beneficial. AI integration would be an interesting feature to add in the next release."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Apache Superset has a three-year licensing model."
"Apache Superset is open-source and free."
"The price of Apache Superset is less than some of its competitors."
"Apache Superset is an open-source solution."
"The price is reasonable; it's quite a bit lower than Tableau and Spotfire."
"Bottom line, the cost is really, really cheap compared to other solutions. Oracle has made a huge effort on the pricing."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"A highly cost-effective solution"
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's pricing is generally higher than that of other vendors."
"I don't know the exact cost, but its pricing was good. Its pricing was competitive. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."
"The product’s pricing is expensive. However, feature-wise, it fits the requirements of enterprise customers."
"It is an expensive platform."
