Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ease of being able to get the data into BOARD is what makes it nice for people with a semi-IT background."
"My favourite feature of BOARD is the ability to write back to the OLAP DB, as well as the Rdb, and secure user data allowing databases to be flushed and rebuilt daily."
"BOARD technical support is knowledgeable and helpful."
"Primary valuable features are its flexibility and versatility and, obviously, functionality goes along with that. Plus, it does that at a small footprint in the file servers, and does it very efficiently."
"I think it's flexible. I chose this solution because, even though it wasn't out-of-the-box, you can customize it, and the long-term growth potential of the software is where I see the value."
"With the combination of 24/7 global support and their community, there was great customer service, tech support, and community support."
"We have better reporting and have been able to better track performance."
"The support from the BOARD team and their consultants is great. Whenever I use technical support, they are good."
"It has allowed us to manage our staff more effectively and frees up time for our analysts to analyze new problems and opportunities."
"It connects very simply to data sources."
"The most valuable feature is the interface for the end-user."
"The product responds fast for data analysis."
"Placing buttons on my sheets creates a unique user experience and clears up clutter at the same time."
"Qlik Sense is much more user-friendly and easier to read then QlikView."
"The most valuable features of Qlik Sense are its speed and seamless development of web technologies."
"The reports are better looking than in QlikView."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"The product can be improved by making it possible to know where cubes are used."
"I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD."
"We would like to see better logging in the procedural world."
"Some of our users are still using an MS Office add-in for Excel for certain calculations, and when they export from Board, some of the values, some of the totals and column names, are not coming through into Excel."
"I would like to see a better Web client, where the controls work the same way as in the Windows client. I do think that the focus is now on the Web, so it should be improved upon."
"It can have more functionality for narrative reporting. They should also improve their training courses, which are currently very lightweight. When you get into more complex things, it is quite difficult to figure out what you're supposed to do, and you have to look at a lot of videos before you actually understand, which is a bit frustrating. Their training can be more comprehensive."
"My analysts have used the technical support. Sometimes they have felt like they did not receive the answer that they needed, or you have to go and upgrade in order to address a problem. "
"The security rules should be made easier to use."
"There is room for improvement in the storytelling mode and the report sharing. Qlik Sense also does not have a subscription base like Power BI. So a lot of the analysis is housed in community pages that are managed by either the author or a database administrator, or whoever the Qlik Sense manager is there."
"The next version should include more standard integrations."
"There are some tools like Alteryx, which are used for data preparation. These features can be built into Qlik to make the process smoother."
"Dates. My goodness, working with dates in set analysis can be a nightmare! Much room for improvement."
"We have faced some issues with NPrinting, so I feel there is some improvement needed such that it would allow the use of variables and calculative fields from Qlik."
"Reload time is a limit since everyone wants real-time data."
"Possibly offering some more basic, simpler templates."
