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 of Oracle OBIEE is interactive reporting because it allows better analysis versus conventional reporting, especially on the data warehouse side."
"Easy to create ad hoc reporting for different solutions."
"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 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."
"It's easy to create fully-functional Dashboards."
"The dashboard and analysis are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Oracle OBIEE is good for data visualization and analytical reporting."
"It's easy to use for business analysts."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
"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."
"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."
"The search feature: ability to see the related data."
"Our Qlikview applications help us to get a good idea of our Client Base Performance and assist us in the decision making for Seasonal Specials. On the other hand QlikView helps us to get a grasp on our Suppliers and helps us to negotiate pricing with them."
"It is complex for designing RPD, and it can be simpler. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
"Implementation is cumbersome and requires expertise."
"The performance could be better."
"I would like to see Machine Learning included in this solution."
"OBIEE doesn't have audit logs."
"Even though we have a feature to enable the physical query to be seen in the log, in case of any issues, it is challenging to debug and see or identify where is the issue. For example, we designed the OBIEE repository and deployed it into the server, and we are now accessing and creating a report. For some reason, if the report is not working as expected, it is very difficult to identify the issue. We have a feature to see the physical query that is being generated in the central OBIEE server. I feel that this feature should have been available at the repository level so that while designing the repository, we can select the presentation columns and the query it is going to create. This will avoid the additional task of deploying a feature into the server and then testing the report. It will also make the implementation process friendly if, while designing the repository, we can see: How is a feature working? Are any of the presentation columns selected? How is the query being generated? Which query is being generated? Are any joints used? What kind of joints are used? Having this kind of information will make Oracle OBIEE more powerful and developer-friendly."
"While it is a user-friendly, data-driven tool, the data modeling should be easier to use."
"Oracle OBIEE could improve by having better integration and compatibility with other vendors."
"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."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"For me, it is important to have a mix, what is the "view" and what is the "sense", Qlik Sense. They have two tools, but for me it is important to have only one tool, which combines the functions that we have from one side and the other side."
"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."
"They could improve the update time."
