Forge an analytics-driven culture with machine learning
With the volume, variety, and sources of data constantly growing, machine learning (ML) helps users discover unseen patterns or insights from data. ML built into Oracle Analytics removes human bias and enables users to easily interpret possible outcomes and opportunities. Integrate OCI AI Services for use directly in analytics projects. Everyone—from clickers to coders—can use embedded ML to build custom, business-specific models for better decision-making. Business users do not need special technical or programming skills to use ML. In addition, data scientists, engineers, and developers can accelerate model building, training, and publishing by using the Oracle Autonomous Database environment as a high performance computing platform with your choice of language, including Python, R, and SQL.
Capabilities for analytics developers
The analytics developer panel provides detailed technical information about data visualization projects. Identify potential performance issues down to the individual visualization object. View the logical SQL and execution logs to help identify problems. Copy autogenerated HTML code to embed any visualization into other web applications.
Built-in platform usage tracking shows what content is being used and by who. Increase the analytics platform’s adoption by proactively updating less-used content and ensuring popular content is served as quickly as possible. Create a better user experience by safely removing old and unused data and analytics content.
Use the OCI command line interface to operationalize and automate administrative tasks, such as starting, stopping, or scaling the OAC instance.
Reduce risk and control access
Evolving methods of working are demanding more secure data analytics systems. With Oracle Analytics, the semantic layer and data model ensure that everyone uses a common set of curated data and definitions, thereby reducing inconsistencies. Application and role-based security specify who is authorized to access what. Data-level security enables fine-grained access controls while ensuring that all stakeholders use the same data irrespective of their personalized view and level of access. Plus, native integration with federated identity management systems enables single sign-on (SSO) across applications.
Anywhere, anytime analytics
Stay connected with automated delivery of analytics and ongoing monitoring of business performance from anywhere at any time. The Oracle Mobile app learns from each person’s own patterns and data interests to deliver intelligent recommendations for further analyses or data exploration. Use natural language to query data verbally or use search-like patterns in 28 languages. Receive alerts in real time based on different triggers such as when new data or reports become available, a threshold in a metric is reached, or arriving at a specific GPS location.
Choice of deployment
Oracle Analytics offers several deployment options:
- Native cloud: Oracle Analytics Cloud is an Oracle-managed service delivered on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
- Private hosted cloud: Oracle Analytics Server is customer-managed software that can be deployed to a non-Oracle data center of choice, your own data center, or a cloud infrastructure, such as Microsoft Azure.
- Oracle Cloud Marketplace: Oracle Analytics Server is available from Oracle Cloud Marketplace and deployed as a hosted, customer-managed service.
Clear and predictable pricing
To help ensure costs are manageable and predictable, Oracle charges only for consumption regardless of the Oracle Analytics features or roles used. Analytics Cloud (OAC) has flexible pricing available as either consumption of OCPU/hour or as user/month. Named user subscriptions start at $162.30/month (OAC Professional Edition with ten named users). Analytics Server (OAS) provides perpetual named user licenses or by CPU license deployed into the customer’s data center of choice.

Oracle Analytics capabilities
Oracle Analytics empowers business users, data engineers, and data scientists to access and process data, evaluate predictions, and make quick, accurate decisions. Oracle Analytics addresses the entire analytics process, including data ingestion, data preparation and enrichment, and data visualization and collaboration. Machine learning (ML) is embedded throughout the platform to help organizations go beyond being data-driven to become analytics-driven.

Connect your social feeds, Internet of Things (IoT) sources, and data lakes from popular data sources, including Snowflake, Google Analytics, Amazon Redshift, Google BigQuery, Microsoft SQL Server, and more.
Direct query and data cachingOracle Analytics platform provides both direct query and caching options. Direct query enables data to be ingested into the analytics layer directly from the data source itself at query time. Choose a custom balance between direct query and caching depending on the analytics use case. Analytics queries are automatically optimized for each data source for best performance.
An in-memory engine built into Oracle Analytics boosts the performance of slow or legacy data sources. Boosting slow systems means frequently run query data is cached and optimized for analytics, which then provides high-performance consistently to users. Once data is cached, modern analytics capabilities, such as Auto Insights and machine learning, can easily be run on that cached data. This extends legacy data management systems that are missing modern capabilities.
Model
Develop and deliver trusted and governed semantic models to ensure a consistent view of business-critical data. Map complex data into familiar and consistent business terms. Design an optimized, fine-tuned query for execution.
Self-service modelingUsers can directly join two or more tables and control the relationship—for example, inner or outer joins—through self-service. Easily share self-service data models with colleagues.
Datasets can be augmented by business users with additional data, attributes, calculations, or transformations. Oracle Analytics examines the datasets, highlights any data anomalies found, and makes smart recommendations to repair or extend the dataset.
Prepare and enrich
Using the power of the semantic profiler in Oracle Analytics, data quality insights provide a visual representation of your data's quality, helping you to rapidly identify issues. Make inline edits to quickly address any issues, rename columns, and use the scrollable mini map to easily traverse long lists.
