Hi,
Would be easier by using the proper names of tools. If DVD there is only one (assuming latest version), there isn't a real product named "Visual Analyzer" and also OACS isn't a name anymore. I guess you mean OAC?
You maybe want to read your (Oracle) own releases: OAS is a thing now, reducing the gap between on-premises and cloud.
You can't really compare a desktop tool with a server solution, so not sure what DVD does in your list.

Hi Gianni,
DVD means Data Visualization Desktop. Yes, OACS and OAC are same and mean Oracle Analytics Cloud.
Thanks,

You mean DVD that's actually OAD now? ;-)

Probably the worst moment for you to ask this question as the product names are being revamped and aligned across the product portfolio.

Hi Christian,
Yes you are correct, DVD is OAD now.
Any comparative analysis for DVD/OAD Vs OACS Vs OBIEE's Data Visualization with pros and cons, which product is having upper hand with respect to data security standards on cloud and why? what all additional features offered by one compared to other two? which is recommended on cloud infrastructure and why will be helpful?
How much Cores/RAM is required by each software and which promise better performance for Operational reporting where data volume is comparatively low with respect to data warehouse and data is in highly normalized form than like data warehouse where it is highly de-normalized.
I understand answers to my above queries depend on client requirement and infra, however I am interested to discuss in general/ normal trends perspective.

You maybe want to ask internally for this. Analytics has a group of sales/PMs who must have all that written and ready already as they spend their days repeating those things to prospects and customers.
