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."
"Inter Process Communication."
"The dashboard and analysis are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to set up the automated delivery of reports."
"Ability to create our own reports."
"Its robustness is most valuable. It can handle massive amounts of data quickly. If it's properly configured and tuned, it can handle massive amounts of data very quickly to produce results. That to me is the number one feature."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is it's designed for Oracle. It works well in the Oracle environment and can sit on top of any application."
"In terms of features, everything is good. It is also stable and scalable."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"It excels in supporting database connections and various database types."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"The solution is fast."
"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 initial setup is not very complex."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"Easy to analyze data by click-through."
"Managing the OB applications requires a high level of experience, and makes the solution quite heavy."
"OBIEE doesn't have audit logs."
"While it is a user-friendly, data-driven tool, the data modeling should be easier to use."
"Setup and migration are very complex. Technically, Oracle accessory is extremely complex. These days, the industry demands a kind of Excel analysis, which is very easy to install, set up, and it's very developer-friendly as well as end-user friendly. OBIEE lacks all those features."
"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."
"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."
"They should make the dashboard more intuitive."
"It takes a lot of maintenance to support the architecture, which is something that should be improved."
"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."
"The user interface is old."
"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."
"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
"They could improve the speed."
"It needs work with visualization."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
