We performed a comparison between Oracle OBIEE and QlikView based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There are some great new features in the latest version."
"It is easy to use...I rate the scalability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"It is easy to create a report quickly. It does not take much time to create an ad hoc report."
"The centralized metadata model component is most valuable."
"The scalability of the product is good."
"They are introducing AI. There are good forecasting features and machine learning."
"We have scheduled reports delivered automatically to our business users using enterprise features."
"The solution offers a wide range of software tools to meet various needs, such as those concerning reports, developer solutions like APEX and the integration of data."
"It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations."
"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."
"You can switch views easily."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"A well designed app brings freedom of inquiry to meetings, allowing me to answer questions in real time and this has transformed progress and outputs of our monthly group meeting."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
"The initial setup is not very complex."
"One feature I would definitely like to see is the ability to provide the in-memory data. Oracle might have some plugins but, as of now, that feature isn't available out-of-the-box. You might have to purchase that feature."
"Oracle OBIEE can improve the ease of use. It is a lot to learn and it could be made easier."
"This solution is weak in the data science perspective. I have past data science experience. And, I find that there is a lot of room for improvement in terms of incorporating more advanced statistical modeling into the product."
"It needs a better security management system."
"The solution needs to be easier to scale."
"From the point of view of strategic management, I would like to have a feature, perhaps a form after we get to the KPI dashboard, to be used to note if something unusual happens in the operations. That way we could record extreme KPI situations, and track why a number is very low or too high."
"One significant improvement is the need for simplification. The set up could be more intuitive. An enterprise setup with HA and DR are pretty complex and to get a robust solution one has to play around with Real Application Cluster data sources and FAN notifications as well as WebLogic clustering and external load balancers. SSO also is not that simple to set up especially if you want all your Oracle systems to use the same SSO solution, i.e., no cheating with direct LDAP connectivity."
"They should develop greater visualization because their visualization isn't industry leading at the moment. The way you pull the data and see the data compared to other platforms, they're lagging a little bit behind. Also, their cost. I've got Oracle account managers trying to persuade me every day to purchase these licenses. Once you purchase OBIEE, then you have to purchase the virtualization and then you have to purchase the mobile license to operate on the mobile. It's really expensive."
"They should offer the capability to directly access data from SaaS environments, as it would simplify the migration process, and while it may seem like a minor enhancement, it would be beneficial to our clients."
"They could improve the update time."
"It would be nice if QlikView could be plugged in into the company's website or an online portal such as QlikSense is capable of. There are ways around but it takes enormous time to develop."
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."
"I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"For me, it is important to have a mix, what is the "view" and what is the "sense", Qlik Sense. They have two tools, but for me it is important to have only one tool, which combines the functions that we have from one side and the other side."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
