"Easy to create ad hoc reporting for different solutions."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's initial setup was straightforward."
"I like the scheduling feature. It has an inbuilt scheduler which is very good, and it allows us to create agents, and those agents can be scheduled. It's quite flexible in that respect and goes into our IT infrastructure. The outputs are sent encrypted to various endpoints. Some are internal, and some are our clients, and it's encrypted at a high level. I do find Oracle OBIEE flexible. If there is stuff that's not in your model or schema, it's very flexible to create SQL scripts and create the data you want. It's quite nice to create a dashboard in OBIEE, and that's pretty straightforward in the way you drag and drop everything. You can create sections, and you can add elements to your page. That bit of the interface is relatively straightforward."
"The solution is easy to use and very flexible."
"I think having the conformed structures makes it a lot easier for end users and pulling reports together."

"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"Retail, Finance, Wholesale"
"Oracle OBIEE could improve by having better integration and compatibility with other vendors."
"From the point of view of strategic management, I would like to have a feature, perhaps a form after we get to the KPI dashboard, to be used to note if something unusual happens in the operations. That way we could record extreme KPI situations, and track why a number is very low or too high."
"It crashes when many people login simultaneously."
"Oracle OBIEEE's performance and licensing costs could be improved."
"One of the things that have been difficult with OBIEE during all the time that I've known it is that when something goes wrong, many times, the error messages are not specific, and you've got to spend a lot of time digging and digging and digging before you say, "Oh, okay. I figured out what it was." There should be more detailed error messages or troubleshooting messages."
"Essbase integration needs to be worked on."
"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."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"The pricing is high."
"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."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
