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."I like that Oracle OBIEE comes with more options. For example, more options with data security, user security, and other security. It's more complicated than Microsoft, but it gives you more options. They also added the part for machine learning, which is good."
"In terms of features, everything is good. It is also stable and scalable."
"I have not personally used any such products related to this service, however based on the popular opinion, Microsoft Power BI is more popular. We have never switched from this software due to infrastructure and license related costs. However, my team acknowledges that the Power BI is much more enhanced and includes features that are easier to use, including its drag and drop features. I am not sure, if OBIEE has these features, due to lack of updated versions."
"The main features of this solution are that it is easy to use, intuitive, and user-friendly. When I retrieve the data from the database it is in a very raw form, then when I use the Oracle Report Builder it has advanced intelligence features to allow me to view and make changes to the data easily."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting."
"It is easy to create a report quickly. It does not take much time to create an ad hoc report."
"I like the architecture of this solution. RPV is a powerful feature in Oracle OBIEE. It lets us design as per the needs of the organization. I can have multiple presentation folders and presentation layers. I can have customization in a single node in VMware, which is a very good feature of Oracle OBIEE. It helps customers in designing as per their requirements."
"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."
"The language support is very good."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"It excels in supporting database connections and various database types."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"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."
"The performance could be better."
"The main problem we face is migrating all of the reports into the solution."
"Expanding beyond pure data reporting and into analytics, or expanding data science, would be areas for improvement."
"Oracle products have a lot of complications...Oracle has a history of not really providing great support."
"In the on-premises version, the feature for connecting and selecting the data between the databases looks a bit cumbersome, but I am not sure. The person who is using it takes a lot of time to design a data warehouse. When I ask him why is it taking this long, I get a response that this is something that he has to design, and there are different tools that are available. He has to write the ETL and design the warehouse according to the customer's requirement, which takes a lot of time. Its visualization should be enhanced, and there should be a feature where you can easily create your custom data warehouse."
"I would like to see enhancements in tracking, debugging, and flexibility."
"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."
"It could be more user-friendly. For example, the RPD layer could be more straightforward. From a user's point of view, the visualization, especially the graphs, are not as attractive when compared to other tools like QlikView and Qlik Sense."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"It needs work with visualization."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"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."
"Error handling."
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
