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."It doesn't have many frills and is definitely older technology, but it is undeniably a workhorse."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"It's easy to use for business analysts."
"For me, it makes the difference is in terms of our users being able to take advantage of a product which allows you to get access to data, reports, make decisions quickly, and have better insights regarding operations."
"The most valuable feature is the visualization."
"The solution is easy to use and very flexible."
"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."
"We do you use Oracle support. We've been paying for an Oracle support subscription for four or five years, and not one ticket has ever been logged. When I came in, I've encouraged the team to ask Oracle questions. They do get back quite quickly. Their support is good. Working with our account managers, if I need to escalate anything, I can speak to them and they escalate the call. I've got that ecosystem working quite well. That does work for us."
"You can switch views easily."
"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"It is a stable product."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"Oracle products have a lot of complications...Oracle has a history of not really providing great support."
"It needs a better security management system."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing model could be improved. Right now, it's quite confusing. Many customers have this feeling that it's a super-expensive option."
"It takes a lot of maintenance to support the architecture, which is something that should be improved."
"The performance and the complex setup are the main reason for switching to Qlik Sense."
"Oracle OBIEE could improve by having better integration and compatibility with other vendors."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"Scalability really depends on the size of your data and QlikView server architecture. For the biggest data sets, it could become an issue at some point."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"Although Qliktech's road map clearly states that QlikView has a long way to go, most of the R&D effort seems to be benefiting Qlik Sense."
"There is a challenge on the frontend when it comes to browsing data through QlikView, as it isn't entirely compatible with other platforms we use."
"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."
"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."
"Improvements are required in the hide and unhide functionality that falls under the layout container feature that has been used in my company in recent times."
