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."The dashboard and analysis are the most valuable features of this solution."
"We do you use Oracle support. We've been paying for an Oracle support subscription for four or five years, and not one ticket has ever been logged. When I came in, I've encouraged the team to ask Oracle questions. They do get back quite quickly. Their support is good. Working with our account managers, if I need to escalate anything, I can speak to them and they escalate the call. I've got that ecosystem working quite well. That does work for us."
"The security is good. For example, we can implement column-level security."
"It has helped to consolidate data and report on a single version of the truth."
"Inter Process Communication."
"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 most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is the security of the solution."
"It has a lot workaround in order to do the report. data blending, and getting information from big data sources."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"The language support is very good."
"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."
"It enables us to configure various elements, such as dashboard settings, including factors like color schemes and other customization parameters."
"Our Qlikview applications help us to get a good idea of our Client Base Performance and assist us in the decision making for Seasonal Specials. On the other hand QlikView helps us to get a grasp on our Suppliers and helps us to negotiate pricing with them."
"Supply chain and finance."
"There's a lot of redundancy, especially in relation to creating the code."
"It is very biased towards Oracle infrastructure. One of the major red flags we have at the moment against Oracle is that it doesn't support deployment on other cloud providers. We're quite heavily vested in AWS as our infrastructure, and Oracle is yet to formally support deploying on those virtual infrastructure instances. That's quite disappointing, and it also cuts them out of over 70% of the market."
"Even though we have a feature to enable the physical query to be seen in the log, in case of any issues, it is challenging to debug and see or identify where is the issue. For example, we designed the OBIEE repository and deployed it into the server, and we are now accessing and creating a report. For some reason, if the report is not working as expected, it is very difficult to identify the issue. We have a feature to see the physical query that is being generated in the central OBIEE server. I feel that this feature should have been available at the repository level so that while designing the repository, we can select the presentation columns and the query it is going to create. This will avoid the additional task of deploying a feature into the server and then testing the report. It will also make the implementation process friendly if, while designing the repository, we can see: How is a feature working? Are any of the presentation columns selected? How is the query being generated? Which query is being generated? Are any joints used? What kind of joints are used? Having this kind of information will make Oracle OBIEE more powerful and developer-friendly."
"They should make the dashboard more intuitive."
"The documentation in Oracle OBIEE can be more user-friendly."
"Oracle products have a lot of complications...Oracle has a history of not really providing great support."
"When a large number of queries are running at the same time, the report fails."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"It needs work with visualization."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"Though the initial setup phase is simple, when it comes to the integration with the custom systems, the configuration and the compatibility sometimes take some more time."
"Although Qliktech's road map clearly states that QlikView has a long way to go, most of the R&D effort seems to be benefiting Qlik Sense."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
"It is really old. We are moving towards converting everything into a Power BI environment. We want to have a self-service type of BI environment where different levels of users in organizations can log onto a portal and retrieve the data they need or get the necessary insights for decision-making that's important for them or their business unit. They have built a new version of QlikView called QlikSense, which probably competes with newer BI tools, such as Power BI, but they are far behind. That's why we are moving towards a newer tool that's easier to use and has more visualizations to represent the data."
