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 most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is its ease of use."
"Ability to create our own reports."
"The most valuable feature is the openness of the solution. It helps us integrate some of our clients."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is interactive reporting because it allows better analysis versus conventional reporting, especially on the data warehouse side."
"User-friendly look and feel."
"It's easy to use for business analysts."
"Inter Process Communication."
"The primary reason for using OBIEE is connectivity with Oracle E-Business Suite. It makes it easy to connect with our Oracle E-Business Suite. There are the standard dashboards available, which we sometimes use, and now we are looking for customized dashboards."
"It excels in supporting database connections and various database types."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"The initial setup is not very complex."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"QlikView is a scalable solution that multiple users can easily use."
"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."
"Easy to analyze data by click-through."
"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"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."
"They should develop greater visualization because their visualization isn't industry leading at the moment. The way you pull the data and see the data compared to other platforms, they're lagging a little bit behind. Also, their cost. I've got Oracle account managers trying to persuade me every day to purchase these licenses. Once you purchase OBIEE, then you have to purchase the virtualization and then you have to purchase the mobile license to operate on the mobile. It's really expensive."
"If the data is large, the dashboard takes a really long time. So, based on the database, if you have around a million cost contacts, the load time is very low, and the dashboard fails."
"We were not satisfied with the support, because we could not obtain answers or solutions."
"For a beginner, this is a product that is difficult to learn. You cannot learn it quickly."
"I would like to see enhancements in tracking, debugging, and flexibility."
"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."
"Oracle OBIEE can improve the ease of use. It is a lot to learn and it could be made easier."
"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."
"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."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
"It is really old. We are moving towards converting everything into a Power BI environment. We want to have a self-service type of BI environment where different levels of users in organizations can log onto a portal and retrieve the data they need or get the necessary insights for decision-making that's important for them or their business unit. They have built a new version of QlikView called QlikSense, which probably competes with newer BI tools, such as Power BI, but they are far behind. That's why we are moving towards a newer tool that's easier to use and has more visualizations to represent the data."
"It needs work with visualization."
