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."
"Inter Process Communication."
"It's easy to use for business analysts."
"The centralized metadata model component is most valuable."
"In terms of features, everything is good. It is also stable and scalable."
"They are introducing AI. There are good forecasting features and machine learning."
"It provides excellent stability."
"There are a lot of functions in the product, including a drill-down functionality and level-based hierarchies that are very attractive."
"The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."
"It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations."
"This is a very cool application with endless options of creativity and visuals."
"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."
"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."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"Oracle products have a lot of complications...Oracle has a history of not really providing great support."
"Essbase integration needs to be worked on."
"The platform's data visualization features need improvement."
"Implementation is cumbersome and requires expertise."
"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."
"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."
"BI Server"
"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."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"The solution is quite costly."
"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."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
"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."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
