Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has helped to consolidate data and report on a single version of the truth."
"The security is good. For example, we can implement column-level security."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is it's designed for Oracle. It works well in the Oracle environment and can sit on top of any application."
"It doesn't have many frills and is definitely older technology, but it is undeniably a workhorse."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is its ability to handle large volumes of data and provide traditional BI functionalities that developers can easily understand."
"I like the scheduling feature. It has an inbuilt scheduler which is very good, and it allows us to create agents, and those agents can be scheduled. It's quite flexible in that respect and goes into our IT infrastructure. The outputs are sent encrypted to various endpoints. Some are internal, and some are our clients, and it's encrypted at a high level. I do find Oracle OBIEE flexible. If there is stuff that's not in your model or schema, it's very flexible to create SQL scripts and create the data you want. It's quite nice to create a dashboard in OBIEE, and that's pretty straightforward in the way you drag and drop everything. You can create sections, and you can add elements to your page. That bit of the interface is relatively straightforward."
"The most valuable features are the lexical parameters and distribution."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"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."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"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 initial setup is not very complex."
"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"This is a very cool application with endless options of creativity and visuals."
"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."
"Oracle products have a lot of complications...Oracle has a history of not really providing great support."
"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."
"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."
"Its overall organization as an analytical tool, the layout of OBIEE, is not very good."
"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."
"The platform's interface needs improvement."
"Oracle OBIEE could improve by having better integration and compatibility with other vendors."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"The pricing is high."
"They could improve the update time."
"The user interface is old."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."
"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."
