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."They were reasonable in terms of price."
"The most valuable feature is the openness of the solution. It helps us integrate some of our clients."
"We do you use Oracle support. We've been paying for an Oracle support subscription for four or five years, and not one ticket has ever been logged. When I came in, I've encouraged the team to ask Oracle questions. They do get back quite quickly. Their support is good. Working with our account managers, if I need to escalate anything, I can speak to them and they escalate the call. I've got that ecosystem working quite well. That does work for us."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"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."
"It doesn't have many frills and is definitely older technology, but it is undeniably a workhorse."
"The performance can issue queries to work in the Oracle database in Oracle's native language. There are a lot of visualizations which suit our business."
"Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features."
"It excels in supporting database connections and various database types."
"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."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"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 scalability is there."
"You can switch views easily."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"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."
"Expanding beyond pure data reporting and into analytics, or expanding data science, would be areas for improvement."
"The performance could improve and in a future release, they could provide more virtualization options."
"I would like to see the data wrangling features enhanced."
"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."
"The drawback with the tool is that though it is well-created, its users are under-trained to use it."
"Oracle OBIEE is a product that is not easy to implement. The product is also not easy to use."
"Managing the OB applications requires a high level of experience, and makes the solution quite heavy."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
"It needs work with visualization."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"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."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of a feature that would allow us to add a common library of (our) commands used in load scripts and expressions, so with a keyword, we would get a drop down to select the command we are looking for, as opposed to the generic help."
"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."
"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."
