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 like that Oracle OBIEE comes with more options. For example, more options with data security, user security, and other security. It's more complicated than Microsoft, but it gives you more options. They also added the part for machine learning, which is good."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to set up the automated delivery of reports."
"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."
"The security is good. For example, we can implement column-level security."
"The most valuable features are the lexical parameters and distribution."
"In terms of features, everything is good. It is also stable and scalable."
"I like the scheduling feature. It has an inbuilt scheduler which is very good, and it allows us to create agents, and those agents can be scheduled. It's quite flexible in that respect and goes into our IT infrastructure. The outputs are sent encrypted to various endpoints. Some are internal, and some are our clients, and it's encrypted at a high level. I do find Oracle OBIEE flexible. If there is stuff that's not in your model or schema, it's very flexible to create SQL scripts and create the data you want. It's quite nice to create a dashboard in OBIEE, and that's pretty straightforward in the way you drag and drop everything. You can create sections, and you can add elements to your page. That bit of the interface is relatively straightforward."
"A great feature of the solution is its stability."
"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"It excels in supporting database connections and various database types."
"The solution is fast."
"You can switch views easily."
"Easy to analyze data by click-through."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"This is a very cool application with endless options of creativity and visuals."
"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."
"An area for improvement is that Oracle pushes more users to Oracle BI Publisher rather than emphasizing Oracle OBIEE for reporting. The pricing for Oracle OBIEE could be improved."
"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."
"Particularly on the Cloud, a lot of functionality has yet to be ported."
"The documentation in Oracle OBIEE can be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see the data wrangling features enhanced."
"The solution needs to be easier to scale."
"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 main problem we face is migrating all of the reports into the solution."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"There's room for improvement in the area of management's handling of concerns."
"They could improve the update time."
"I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields."
"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."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"They should offer the capability to directly access data from SaaS environments, as it would simplify the migration process, and while it may seem like a minor enhancement, it would be beneficial to our clients."
"There is a challenge on the frontend when it comes to browsing data through QlikView, as it isn't entirely compatible with other platforms we use."
