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."Easy to create ad hoc reporting for different solutions."
"It's easy to use for business analysts."
"We have scheduled reports delivered automatically to our business users using enterprise features."
"The most valuable features are the lexical parameters and distribution."
"The “Business Model & Mapping” layer in the Administration Tool, because the maintenance and evolution processes are greatly facilitated."
"We can see almost-real-time performance in our operations. When there is a problem, it is easy to escalate it to top management and the time for management to make a decision about it is much shorter than it would be using a manual process."
"The security is good. For example, we can implement column-level security."
"It doesn't have many frills and is definitely older technology, but it is undeniably a workhorse."
"One of the good thing is that you can integrate different data source technologies. So you can model your environment without having any of our views running."
"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."
"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"The language support is very good."
"The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."
"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"It is a stable product."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"When a large number of queries are running at the same time, the report fails."
"The complexity of this product means that you need to have a technical team to develop the reports, although this is also true for products like Microsoft BI and Zoho."
"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."
"This solution is weak in the data science perspective. I have past data science experience. And, I find that there is a lot of room for improvement in terms of incorporating more advanced statistical modeling into the product."
"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."
"The platform's interface needs improvement."
"The functionality to customize and modify reports has been removed, and it would be beneficial to reinstall it, as it allows greater customization and flexibility in creating reports."
"Expanding beyond pure data reporting and into analytics, or expanding data science, would be areas for improvement."
"Though the initial setup phase is simple, when it comes to the integration with the custom systems, the configuration and the compatibility sometimes take some more time."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"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."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
"Error handling."
"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, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
