"User-friendly look and feel."
"Can utilize SQL queries to generate reports directly."
"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's the connectors, the adapters. Built in connectors with different ERPs, you can plug in XL, other sources of data. It's very easy to configure. It's very easy to use."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is its ability to handle large volumes of data and provide traditional BI functionalities that developers can easily understand."
"I think the most valuable features are the ability to drill down, the graphs, and the scheduling for the reports to be received in Excel on a daily basis. Users like Excel, so it's good for them that they receive the reports by email, that they don't have to specify the schedule."
"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"It enables us to configure various elements, such as dashboard settings, including factors like color schemes and other customization parameters."
"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."
"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 do a lot of things on the back end which are not possible in the other solutions on the market."
"There should be more integration in the solution. For example, there should be one solution with multiple functionalities so that other solutions are not needed. Having one solution with all the needed functionality would be helpful."
"I would like to see Machine Learning included in this solution."
"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."
"The solution needs to be easier to scale."
"We needed some technical expertise during setup."
"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."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Microsoft Office."
"Oracle OBIEE could improve by having better integration and compatibility with other vendors."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
"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."
"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."
"Needs improvement with UI transparency."
"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."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."
