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."The most valuable feature is the ability to set up the automated delivery of reports."
"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 primary reason for using OBIEE is connectivity with Oracle E-Business Suite. It makes it easy to connect with our Oracle E-Business Suite. There are the standard dashboards available, which we sometimes use, and now we are looking for customized dashboards."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the various scenarios the product offers and its stability."
"The most valuable features of Oracle OBIEE are ease of use, the graphical user interface is simple to understand, and the reports can be done without problems. There are many tutorials and training materials available if needed."
"Easy to create ad hoc reporting for different solutions."
"Ability to create our own reports."
"The centralized metadata model component is most valuable."
"It excels in supporting database connections and various database types."
"The language support is very good."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"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."
"It is a stable product."
"You can switch views easily."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"The solution is fast."
"n the beginning it had it's stability issues, but it became stable."
"It crashes when many people login simultaneously."
"Customer service/technical support gets five out of 10. Sometimes good, sometimes bad."
"One of the things that have been difficult with OBIEE during all the time that I've known it is that when something goes wrong, many times, the error messages are not specific, and you've got to spend a lot of time digging and digging and digging before you say, "Oh, okay. I figured out what it was." There should be more detailed error messages or troubleshooting messages."
"I find I prefer Oracle OAC over OBIEE. It's more advanced, has artificial intelligence, and there's more that we can do with it in general. OBIEE is lacking features."
"In terms of tech support, we have our own technicians. But, we did register for their help. When we register a call, it takes time for them to respond to us."
"Its overall organization as an analytical tool, the layout of OBIEE, is not very good."
"It is complex for designing RPD, and it can be simpler. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
"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."
"Error handling."
"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."
"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
