Has anyone used the NetSuite Analytics Warehouse? I'm not familiar with it but it seems new. Almost like SuiteAnalytics Connect on steriods. Is this another 3rd party software that Oracle has purchased and rebranded as their own?

Yes! It's got some big short comings: 1. Doesn't include all transaction types so it won't tie back to all financial and operational reporting. This typically is a deal breaker for any CEO/CFO. 2. Industries - they are only targeting product companies because it doesn't handle rev rec, projects, suitebilling, etc. 3. Data model - is star schema but built in a way that will be extremely time consuming and complicated to build any financial metrics/reports since each transaction type is broken out by header, lines and currency. You'll have to write HUGE and COMPLICATED formulas to calculate things like Revenue and COGS. 4. Connector - they use SuiteAnalytics Connect which doesn't provide access to all tables/fields. Also, performs slowly so they only refresh data max 1x/day 5. Comparative Reporting - there is no prebuilt time intelligence to run comparative reporting (i.e. TTM) 6. Oracle Analytics - it uses a BI tool that is not popular/common making it really hard to find good resources who will support it (vs. Power BI or Tableau).

So the Data Warehouse is itself a BI/Visualiztion tool? I thought it was just a data connector.

The Netsuite analytics warehouse (NSAW) is multiple pieces of technology: 1. SuiteAnalytics Connect, 2. Oracle DataWarehouse and 3. Oracle Analytics BI tool

Ahhh ok, thank you for the help! That makes sense
