What is Cloud Analytics?
Cloud analytics is the use of remote public or private computing resources in the cloud to analyze data on demand, which has become increasingly popular in recent years as more and more businesses move to the cloud.
Cloud computing analytics improves business decision-making by speeding up the process of gathering information, integrating, analyzing, and presenting data insights to businesses; it also offers several advantages over traditional data storage methods, including scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. However, with so many different options now available, it can be difficult to know which one is right for your business.
What is Oracle Analytics Cloud?
Oracle Analytics Cloud is a comprehensive business intelligence solution powered by AI that offers robotic reporting and analytics capabilities to businesses of all sizes. Oracle Analytics' best feature is that it combines the convenience of the cloud with accurate predictions and forecasts for data processing and intuitive visualization.
Oracle Analytics Cloud vs the Competition
There is no shortage of options when it comes to enterprise cloud data analytics; but when it comes to enterprise cloud applications,
Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC) is in a class of its own. OAC offers a comprehensive set of features and capabilities that are unmatched by any other solution in the market as its software is intended to meet a company's broad data analytics and data governance requirements. Here's a quick look at how OAC stacks up against the competition:
- Comprehensive set of features: OAC offers a complete set of features for enterprise analytics, including Data Warehousing, data discovery, reporting, and dashboards. By contrast, other solutions in the market are missing key features such as data Warehousing or only offer a limited set of features.
