Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Both the vertical and horizontal scalability of the solution is good. In terms of scalability, I would rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"They were reasonable in terms of price."
"It's easy to use for business analysts."
"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."
"We can see almost-real-time performance in our operations. When there is a problem, it is easy to escalate it to top management and the time for management to make a decision about it is much shorter than it would be using a manual process."
"The main features of this solution are that it is easy to use, intuitive, and user-friendly. When I retrieve the data from the database it is in a very raw form, then when I use the Oracle Report Builder it has advanced intelligence features to allow me to view and make changes to the data easily."
"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 most valuable features of the solution are the various scenarios the product offers and its stability."
"It is a stable product."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."
"Once you open it up, you see everything that you can do."
"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."
"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."
"You can switch views easily."
"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"We were not satisfied with the support, because we could not obtain answers or solutions."
"I would like to see enhancements in tracking, debugging, and flexibility."
"When a large number of queries are running at the same time, the report fails."
"n the beginning it had it's stability issues, but it became stable."
"Implementation is cumbersome and requires expertise."
"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."
"Expanding beyond pure data reporting and into analytics, or expanding data science, would be areas for improvement."
"The solution needs to be easier to scale."
"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."
"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 solution is quite costly."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"There's room for improvement in the area of management's handling of concerns."
"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."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
