David Maillie Application Development Analyst and Software Engineer in Information Technology at Europa Sports Products (Consumer Goods, 201-500 employees) Chose ibi WebFOCUS No comparison. Both have their strengths, but WebFocus comes out on top as the clear winner because it is so easy to use and understand for power users.

Tara Barnes Olsen Business systems analyst in Finance and Accounting at AmerisourceBergen (Hospital & Health Care, 10,001+ employees) Chose ibi WebFOCUS I like the ease of development best on webfocus. As compared to QlikView, it is better at handling large amounts of data and the data access process is much easier in WebFOCUS ( very manual in Qlik). Qlik is better for ad hoc drill through and it is nice how a selector easily … Incentivized Helpful?

Rupesh More Senior Software Engineer in Information Technology at Fidelity Investments (Financial Services, 10,001+ employees) Chose ibi WebFOCUS I found WebFOCUS a great tool for reporting purposes as I have used it for a long time.
