More QlikView Pros →

Cons
"Managing the OB applications requires a high level of experience, and makes the solution quite heavy.""The pricing model could be improved. Right now, it's quite confusing. Many customers have this feeling that it's a super-expensive option.""The documentation in Oracle OBIEE can be more user-friendly.""When a large number of queries are running at the same time, the report fails.""I would like to see enhancements in tracking, debugging, and flexibility.""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.""Retail, Finance, Wholesale""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."

More Oracle OBIEE Cons →

"Error handling.""The user interface is old.""There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device.""Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models.""Improvements are required in the hide and unhide functionality that falls under the layout container feature that has been used in my company in recent times.""The solution is quite costly.""There is no automation or drag and drop functionality.""More/newer visualisation components need to be added."

More QlikView Cons →

"If I want to implement an upgrade, I'd like to see how it will be different. Ideally, Data Lab should help me test production items and also do future things. Future releases should be downloadable and testable in Data Lab.""​Their level of technical support is adequate. It could be better.​""​The initial setup was complex as we had to rewrite a lot of the code.​"

    Reviews from Real Users

    Sandeep V., Process System Engineer at a comms service provider, tells us, “This solution is very easy for people who are building ad-hoc things. It's an enterprise solution so it can be deployed for a lot of users. There are some great new features that come with the 12c like data visualization, desktop BI Publisher, automation, and interactive dashboards. The product has good features. “ 

    A user who is a CEO at a consultancy relates, “The most valuable feature is the visualization. The data warehousing, data storage, and data wrangling are all features that are in there, and it's one of the better products out there. A good thing is that for large datasets, it's very stable, especially when you have an Oracle database.”

    A user who is a Principal Business Intelligence Architect at a computer software company suggests, "It is very biased towards Oracle infrastructure. One of the major red flags we have at the moment against Oracle is that it doesn't support deployment on other cloud providers. We're quite heavily vested in AWS as our infrastructure, and Oracle is yet to formally support deploying on those virtual infrastructure instances. That's quite disappointing, and it also cuts them out of over 70% of the market."



    QlikView is a Business Intelligence tool that allows you to keep tabs on all of your business-related information in a clean, clear, and easy to access database that is intuitive to build and simple to navigate. It is ideal for business owners who wish to improve overall output by creating the most productive system possible.

    A Teradata Data Lab lets you explore and examine new ideas by combining new data with existing data so its easy to identify new trends and insight or react to immediate business issues.
