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."I think having the conformed structures makes it a lot easier for end users and pulling reports together."
"The most valuable features of Oracle OBIEE are ease of use, the graphical user interface is simple to understand, and the reports can be done without problems. There are many tutorials and training materials available if needed."
"The solution offers a wide range of software tools to meet various needs, such as those concerning reports, developer solutions like APEX and the integration of data."
"Can utilize SQL queries to generate reports directly."
"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."
"I have not personally used any such products related to this service, however based on the popular opinion, Microsoft Power BI is more popular. We have never switched from this software due to infrastructure and license related costs. However, my team acknowledges that the Power BI is much more enhanced and includes features that are easier to use, including its drag and drop features. I am not sure, if OBIEE has these features, due to lack of updated versions."
"The security is good. For example, we can implement column-level security."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is its ease of use."
"It is a stable product."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"The search feature: ability to see the related data."
"Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features."
"The scalability is there."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"We needed some technical expertise during setup."
"Managing the OB applications requires a high level of experience, and makes the solution quite heavy."
"Oracle OBIEE could improve by having better integration and compatibility with other vendors."
"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."
"Implementation is cumbersome and requires expertise."
"While it is a user-friendly, data-driven tool, the data modeling should be easier to use."
"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."
"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."
"The user interface is old."
"Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"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."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"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."
