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."There are a lot of functions in the product, including a drill-down functionality and level-based hierarchies that are very attractive."
"Inter Process Communication."
"The most valuable features are the lexical parameters and distribution."
"In terms of features, everything is good. It is also stable and scalable."
"I think having the conformed structures makes it a lot easier for end users and pulling reports together."
"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."
"It can be used with any type of data models, such as relational lines and dimensional lines."
"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."
"You can do a lot of things on the back end which are not possible in the other solutions on the market."
"It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations."
"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."
"The solution is fast."
"The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."
"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."
"Once you open it up, you see everything that you can do."
"You can switch views easily."
"Implementation is cumbersome and requires expertise."
"Its overall organization as an analytical tool, the layout of OBIEE, is not very good."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Microsoft Office."
"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."
"They should develop greater visualization because their visualization isn't industry leading at the moment. The way you pull the data and see the data compared to other platforms, they're lagging a little bit behind. Also, their cost. I've got Oracle account managers trying to persuade me every day to purchase these licenses. Once you purchase OBIEE, then you have to purchase the virtualization and then you have to purchase the mobile license to operate on the mobile. It's really expensive."
"Its functionality is lacking."
"The main problem we face is migrating all of the reports into the solution."
"I would like to see the data wrangling features enhanced."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of a feature that would allow us to add a common library of (our) commands used in load scripts and expressions, so with a keyword, we would get a drop down to select the command we are looking for, as opposed to the generic help."
"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"They could improve the update time."
"Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
