Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's initial setup was straightforward."
"We have scheduled reports delivered automatically to our business users using enterprise features."
"The technical support services are good."
"User-friendly look and feel."
"There are some great new features in the latest version."
"It's the connectors, the adapters. Built in connectors with different ERPs, you can plug in XL, other sources of data. It's very easy to configure. It's very easy to use."
"The performance can issue queries to work in the Oracle database in Oracle's native language. There are a lot of visualizations which suit our business."
"Provides good data visualization features, and provides a lot of visualization reports from various data sources."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features."
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
"Once you open it up, you see everything that you can do."
"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."
"One of the good thing is that you can integrate different data source technologies. So you can model your environment without having any of our views running."
"It's pretty easy to deploy."
"An area for improvement is that Oracle pushes more users to Oracle BI Publisher rather than emphasizing Oracle OBIEE for reporting. The pricing for Oracle OBIEE could be improved."
"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."
"Customer service/technical support gets five out of 10. Sometimes good, sometimes bad."
"We were not satisfied with the support, because we could not obtain answers or solutions."
"It should have more self-service capabilities."
"OBIEE doesn't have audit logs."
"The pricing model could be improved. Right now, it's quite confusing. Many customers have this feeling that it's a super-expensive option."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"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."
"Needs improvement with UI transparency."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"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."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
