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 technical support services are good."
"The most valuable feature is the visualization."
"The performance can issue queries to work in the Oracle database in Oracle's native language. There are a lot of visualizations which suit our business."
"There are some great new features in the latest version."
"It is easy to create a report quickly. It does not take much time to create an ad hoc report."
"There are a lot of functions in the product, including a drill-down functionality and level-based hierarchies that are very attractive."
"The scalability of the product is good."
"I like the architecture of this solution. RPV is a powerful feature in Oracle OBIEE. It lets us design as per the needs of the organization. I can have multiple presentation folders and presentation layers. I can have customization in a single node in VMware, which is a very good feature of Oracle OBIEE. It helps customers in designing as per their requirements."
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
"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."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"Easy to analyze data by click-through."
"Once you open it up, you see everything that you can do."
"The initial setup is not very complex."
"QlikView is a scalable solution that multiple users can easily use."
"The solution is too expensive for small firms."
"I would like to see Machine Learning included in this solution."
"It needs a better security management system."
"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."
"Oracle OBIEE could improve by having better integration and compatibility with other vendors."
"n the beginning it had it's stability issues, but it became stable."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Microsoft Office."
"It would be better if it had a wide range of visualization options. For example, Microsoft Power BI has an extensive range of visualization options, but it's not available in OBIEE. There are also some conflicts because it's complicated, but the cloud application is easier. They added some features for ETL with the on-premises application, but we need a different or a separate application for ETL in the cloud. In the next release, I would like to have more AI features."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"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."
"The solution is quite costly."
"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."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
"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."
"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."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
