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 setup isn't too difficult."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to run it in Exalytics within memory coupled to a Repository on Exadata is where it flies. So it's not meant for mom and pop shops, but if you are a global 500 fortune 1000 company, this is a tool that can get you what you need on time and even in real time."
"It doesn't have many frills and is definitely older technology, but it is undeniably a workhorse."
"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."
"The technical support services are good."
"Oracle OBIEE is good for data visualization and analytical reporting."
"They were reasonable in terms of price."
"Inter Process Communication."
"It excels in supporting database connections and various database types."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"It is a stable product."
"Our Qlikview applications help us to get a good idea of our Client Base Performance and assist us in the decision making for Seasonal Specials. On the other hand QlikView helps us to get a grasp on our Suppliers and helps us to negotiate pricing with them."
"This is a very cool application with endless options of creativity and visuals."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."
"You can switch views easily."
"Essbase integration needs to be worked on."
"The performance and the complex setup are the main reason for switching to Qlik Sense."
"From an improvement perspective, the technical team should be able to provide more accurate answers by taking into consideration the context of the issues faced by users."
"One feature I would definitely like to see is the ability to provide the in-memory data. Oracle might have some plugins but, as of now, that feature isn't available out-of-the-box. You might have to purchase that feature."
"Retail, Finance, Wholesale"
"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."
"One significant improvement is the need for simplification. The set up could be more intuitive. An enterprise setup with HA and DR are pretty complex and to get a robust solution one has to play around with Real Application Cluster data sources and FAN notifications as well as WebLogic clustering and external load balancers. SSO also is not that simple to set up especially if you want all your Oracle systems to use the same SSO solution, i.e., no cheating with direct LDAP connectivity."
"It takes a lot of maintenance to support the architecture, which is something that should be improved."
"The user interface is old."
"If a user wanted to see something not included in the application the new object had to be created by a power user or developer because Qlik view's scripting has somewhat of a learning curve."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"The solution is quite costly."
"It needs work with visualization."
"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."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
"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."
