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, for me, would be the Web Catalog. From a development perspective, I do not need any client or any software to be installed on my laptop or desktop. Everything is browser-based, so I just open the browser and start development."
"The security is good. For example, we can implement column-level security."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the various scenarios the product offers and its stability."
"The most valuable features are the lexical parameters and distribution."
"They are introducing AI. There are good forecasting features and machine learning."
"The setup isn't too difficult."
"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."
"The scalability is there."
"The solution is fast."
"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"It excels in supporting database connections and various database types."
"Easy to analyze data by click-through."
"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"It takes a lot of maintenance to support the architecture, which is something that should be improved."
"Retail, Finance, Wholesale"
"If the data is large, the dashboard takes a really long time. So, based on the database, if you have around a million cost contacts, the load time is very low, and the dashboard fails."
"There are a lot of aspects of Oracle OBIEE that are exceptionally complicated, make things unnecessarily difficult for everyone who uses it. In terms of the integrations, Oracle needs to improve a little more, but I believe that they have tried to capture all those issues. The issues we are facing in the Oracle OBIEE 12C versions, in the Oracle Analytical Server Center or Analytical Cloud versions, Oracle has managed to overcome the challenges."
"It could be more user-friendly. For example, the RPD layer could be more straightforward. From a user's point of view, the visualization, especially the graphs, are not as attractive when compared to other tools like QlikView and Qlik Sense."
"The pricing of the solution should be bettered."
"The ability to migrate from one version to another, such as doing so from version 11 to an upgraded 12 of Oracle business environment, can be difficult."
"The main problem we face is migrating all of the reports into the solution."
"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."
"It needs work with visualization."
"Error handling."
"I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
"The pricing is high."
"They could improve the update time."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
