1. Adel Naser compares the Two products.

Oracle Data Visualisation Desktop Vs. OBIEE 12C Visual Analyzer

Adel Naser provides a comparison between Oracle Data Visualization Desktop (DVD), and Oracle Visual Analyzer (VA). He names some of the great qualities of DVD as:

  • Stunning rich interactive visuals, 22 visuals including geo mapping capability.
  • Easy to get started with the tool. Upload an excel file with the data to be analyzed and visualized, then start dragging and dropping columns to create your visuals.
  • Take snapshots of visualizations insights that are important to the business.
  • Integration between different data sources into one visual.
  • DVD is free for customers who have visual cloud solutions or an on premise version such as VA.
