Offers smooth data integration between systems, but requires better real-time analytics capabilities

We leverage its capabilities for many applications. We can integrate with our databases, like Oracle, MySQL, or any other, using Microsoft Integration Services. This lets us continue using private databases without paying additional licensing fees. Additionally, the license includes Analytics services and Power BI, which work on-premises, unlike most other technologies that require cloud solutions.

A tool for data warehousing that offers scalability, stability, and ease of setup

The initial setup of Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is easy and basic, especially if one doesn't use the tricks to get Oracle Exadata for use. One doesn't need to know or be involved in technical stuff to do the setup since, at the least, knowledge might be required when working with some external connections, but it is easy because everything can be done within a couple of clicks. The solution is deployed on the cloud. For deployment, you don't need any technical guidance since you can sit, find it on the web, and prepare an Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse platform by yourself for free for a limited time. The people needed for the deployment and maintenance depend on the implementation one wants. If you do a simple implementation, you don't need anybody for maintenance since everything is on the cloud. You only have to schedule your backup or see if Oracle can schedule a backup, and you don't take care of the backup. For some more sophisticated or technical implementations, you will need staff for some data warehouse except for some parts of the maintenance like backup, patches, or upgrades since these are a few things you take care of in the background, and you only seek help with the maintenance part, if needed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a well-integrated solution and that integration empowers results."

"This solution will connect to any database, you can combine databases, and you can create a cube or tabular model."

"Microsoft Analytics Platform System's most valuable feature is its ecosystems and seamless integration with other Microsoft reporting platforms and databases."

"We leverage its capabilities for many applications. We can integrate with our databases, like Oracle, MySQL, or any other, using Microsoft Integration Services."

"I like that it's integrated with other Azure products."

"It is closely integrated with other products in the MS portfolio."

"The Cube Solution is quite different when compared to the rest of the competition and has unique functionality for advanced analytics."

"Helps our customers to discover trends, which provides useful information based on their business."

"The product has self-repair features."

"It is a very stable tool...It is an extremely scalable tool."

"It is a stable and scalable solution."

"With Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse, things are much simpler. Creating a structure, initializing the servers, extending the servers, those are all things that are very, very easy. That's the main reason we use it."

"The solution is used for analytics and it works for our data security needs."

"The solution is self-securing. All data is encrypted and security updates and patches are applied automatically both periodically and off-cycle."

"The product is easy to use."

"The analytics have been very good. We've found them to be quite useful."

Cons

"Microsoft Analytics Platform System could have better support."

"We need better real-time analytics capabilities. It's a bit challenging for us."

"I think the biggest problem with the product is that it does a data ingest model, which is very expensive."

"Hybrid environments are complex to manage."

"The flexibility of this solution needs to be improved because you cannot make changes at every one of the different steps."

"Functionality needs to be more up-to-date with competing products."

"Machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities need to be more friendly for beginning users."

"Releases of new products and functionality is never accompanied by associated documentation, training and resources that adequately explain the release."

More Microsoft Analytics Platform System cons

"I would like to see an on-premise solution in the future."

"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is not available as an on-premises solution."

"Sometimes the solution works differently between the cloud and on-premises. It needs to be more consistent and predictable."

"It doesn't work well when you have unstructured data or you need online analytics. It is not as nice as Hadoop in these aspects."

"There is a need for more storage to be allocated, but over a period of time, it becomes impossible to reduce it after using it."

"One of the major problem is creating custom tablespace. The ADB serverless option doesn't support custom tablespace creation, which could cause issues during on-premise database migration that requires specifically named tablespace. There should be an option to create customized tablespace."

"The initial setup was pretty complex. It was not easy."

"An improvement for us would be the inclusion of support for an internal IP, so we could use it directly with the VCN in Oracle Cloud."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Users have to pay extra for premium-level technical support."

"The initial price is lower than Oracle, but extensive use of SQL may lead to a higher total cost of ownership."

"We are currently paying $200,000 a year for all the different parts of the suite during an ingest model Microsoft now charges us $700,000 a year."

"I rate Microsoft Analytics Platform System a seven out of ten for pricing."

"We pay approximately $70,000 per month. The cost includes maintenance and support."

"The solution's cost is reasonable."

"In terms of architecture and pricing structure, I feel it is a little bit costly compared to Azure. It's fine compared to RedShift, but compared to Azure, it's a bit pricey when you calculate for one TB storage plus around five hours of reporting with the frequency of 1TB data. The cost adds up, making Oracle a bit expensive."

"The solution is expensive."

"ROI is high."

"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse's pricing is fair and reasonable compared to the other cloud vendors."

"You pay as you go, and you don't pay for services that you don't use."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing an eight."
