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 product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"A well designed app brings freedom of inquiry to meetings, allowing me to answer questions in real time and this has transformed progress and outputs of our monthly group meeting."
"It is useful to use a tool like this to have a view of data at a point in time. You can extract and create little data sets that you can store, and then over time, you can have a view for tracking changes. Especially when you work with a relational database or a database that's a production database, the data is dynamic, but if you use QlikView, you can take a snapshot of different datasets. In your own time, you can then get insights and report, build, analyze, and draw whatever you need from the data, which is quite useful."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"It excels in supporting database connections and various database types."
"I like the predictive features of SAP. It's easy to use tools for an end-user."
"There is a seamless integration with SAP S4HANA which is really valuable to our organization and its functions. Since the data is stored in the same ecosystem, it creates a simple process of building dashboards, without making the process cumbersome The Analytics Cloud provides standardized templates and storage options, making it easy to plug into existing structures. We're utilizing custom stories that have already been developed, streamlining the development process. It serves as a convenient starting point and contributes to the overall ease of development. Another advantage is that it doesn't provide the same level of calculation power as Power BI and Tableau. SAP Analytics Cloud emphasizes pushing analytics back into the database, recommending data manipulation and preparation outside of the platform. This approach is seen as an advantage, as it allows for more robust data handling."
"Technical support is helpful."
"Easy to use."
"Offers both business intelligence as well as inbuilt AI and machine learning capabilities."
"Provides rich features for developing automated reports and dashboards."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. We haven't tried all of the features yet. The graphing and the ease of using the analytics tools have been great. It's all drag and drop; you don't need to code anything."
"The tool's most valuable features are the BI and planning functionalities. I value being able to integrate smart planning with BI for analysis. The solution is user-friendly."
"It needs work with visualization."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"They could improve the update time."
"Needs improvement with UI transparency."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"Error handling."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"SAP has always had one problem with its products, they make them very closed systems that are difficult to integrate."
"The connection works only for importing data. Currently, there is no real-time integration between SAP Analytics Cloud and CRM. There are some features present in the classic but not in the optimized version. If I need to create something specific, I often have to switch the versions. It would be more convenient to have a single product that incorporates all the necessary features."
"I would like to see reporting to the Analytics cloud directly."
"The budget management could be better."
"Currently only one data modeler can work at a time."
"It seems like there's a problem with the tool's licenses. If there are a lot of users, like 200, who only use the solution once a year, paying for a full-year license for each user is expensive. There's no option for users who only use the solution occasionally."
"The integration with other vendors and solutions could be improved."
"They need more support for more languages, Python for example."
