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 visualization is very good."
"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."
"I think having the conformed structures makes it a lot easier for end users and pulling reports together."
"It is easy to create a report quickly. It does not take much time to create an ad hoc report."
"Oracle OBIEE is very easy to use. Looking at analytics, I think they have come a long way by adding new features like visualization, which is really cool."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is interactive reporting because it allows better analysis versus conventional reporting, especially on the data warehouse side."
"A great feature of the solution is its stability."
"Inter Process Communication."
"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"The initial setup is not very complex."
"It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations."
"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."
"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."
"You can switch views easily."
"The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."
"The scalability is there."
"In the on-premises version, the feature for connecting and selecting the data between the databases looks a bit cumbersome, but I am not sure. The person who is using it takes a lot of time to design a data warehouse. When I ask him why is it taking this long, I get a response that this is something that he has to design, and there are different tools that are available. He has to write the ETL and design the warehouse according to the customer's requirement, which takes a lot of time. Its visualization should be enhanced, and there should be a feature where you can easily create your custom data warehouse."
"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."
"While it is a user-friendly, data-driven tool, the data modeling should be easier to use."
"The performance and the complex setup are the main reason for switching to Qlik Sense."
"There's a lot of redundancy, especially in relation to creating the code."
"Oracle OBIEE could improve the visualizations, such as diagrams, charts, and graphical user interface. Other tools on the market have better graphical visualizations this Oracle OBIEE."
"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."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Microsoft Office."
"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."
"The user interface is old."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"Better source data connectors."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"Scalability really depends on the size of your data and QlikView server architecture. For the biggest data sets, it could become an issue at some point."
