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 most valuable feature is the openness of the solution. It helps us integrate some of our clients."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's initial setup was straightforward."
"Oracle OBIEE is good for data visualization and analytical reporting."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to run it in Exalytics within memory coupled to a Repository on Exadata is where it flies. So it's not meant for mom and pop shops, but if you are a global 500 fortune 1000 company, this is a tool that can get you what you need on time and even in real time."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE, for me, would be the Web Catalog. From a development perspective, I do not need any client or any software to be installed on my laptop or desktop. Everything is browser-based, so I just open the browser and start development."
"The visualization is very good."
"The security is good. For example, we can implement column-level security."
"The solution is easy to use and very flexible."
"It is a stable product."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"E-T-L, The Extract, Transform, and Loading capabilities of QlikView make it a highly sophisticated self-service business intelligence tool for developers and analysts."
"The scalability is there."
"It is useful to use a tool like this to have a view of data at a point in time. You can extract and create little data sets that you can store, and then over time, you can have a view for tracking changes. Especially when you work with a relational database or a database that's a production database, the data is dynamic, but if you use QlikView, you can take a snapshot of different datasets. In your own time, you can then get insights and report, build, analyze, and draw whatever you need from the data, which is quite useful."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."
"We were not satisfied with the support, because we could not obtain answers or solutions."
"It is not a good product for data visualization."
"Oracle OBIEE can improve the ease of use. It is a lot to learn and it could be made easier."
"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."
"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."
"The solution needs to be easier to scale."
"The documentation in Oracle OBIEE can be more user-friendly."
"The complexity of this product means that you need to have a technical team to develop the reports, although this is also true for products like Microsoft BI and Zoho."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
"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."
"Scalability really depends on the size of your data and QlikView server architecture. For the biggest data sets, it could become an issue at some point."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"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."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
"The tool is expensive in Turkey."
"The user interface is old."
