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 the cloud deployment feature. There are about 20 new features, and they are available on mobile and more. I haven't used any of them, but these features are highly attractive."
"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."
"There are a lot of functions in the product, including a drill-down functionality and level-based hierarchies that are very attractive."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is interactive reporting because it allows better analysis versus conventional reporting, especially on the data warehouse side."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to set up the automated delivery of reports."
"Easy to create ad hoc reporting for different solutions."
"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 is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."
"The language support is very good."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"Once you open it up, you see everything that you can do."
"It excels in supporting database connections and various database types."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"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."
"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"The solution needs to be easier to scale."
"It is complex for designing RPD, and it can be simpler. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
"I would like to see enhancements in tracking, debugging, and flexibility."
"There are times we have slowness when processing the reports with Oracle OBIEE. Improving the performance would be beneficial."
"Oracle OBIEE could improve the visualizations, such as diagrams, charts, and graphical user interface. Other tools on the market have better graphical visualizations this Oracle OBIEE."
"The platform's data visualization features need improvement."
"Expanding beyond pure data reporting and into analytics, or expanding data science, would be areas for improvement."
"The functionality to customize and modify reports has been removed, and it would be beneficial to reinstall it, as it allows greater customization and flexibility in creating reports."
"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."
"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."
"Needs improvement with UI transparency."
"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."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
