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 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."
"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."
"In terms of features, everything is good. It is also stable and scalable."
"The security is good. For example, we can implement column-level security."
"The scalability of the product is good."
"It is easy to use...I rate the scalability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"It provides excellent stability."
"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."
"The scalability is there."
"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."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"The initial setup is not very complex."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"Once you open it up, you see everything that you can do."
"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"The documentation in Oracle OBIEE can be more user-friendly."
"From the point of view of strategic management, I would like to have a feature, perhaps a form after we get to the KPI dashboard, to be used to note if something unusual happens in the operations. That way we could record extreme KPI situations, and track why a number is very low or too high."
"In our organization, we feel that data visualization for APIs is an area in which the solution lacks."
"One feature I would definitely like to see is the ability to provide the in-memory data. Oracle might have some plugins but, as of now, that feature isn't available out-of-the-box. You might have to purchase that feature."
"It is complex for designing RPD, and it can be simpler. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
"The development effort takes longer than other BI tools currently on the market."
"It should have more self-service capabilities."
"The platform's interface needs improvement."
"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 user interface is old."
"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."
"It needs work with visualization."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
"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 solution is quite costly."
