Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop reporting."
"There are a lot of features available in this solution, it has been very easy to use. We have found it to be less complex and user-friendly compared to other solutions we have used."
"Qlik Sense helps us increase our organization's customer relationships and brings in more projects."
"Qlik Sense has helped us in getting all inventory details in real-time ready for our sales reps to order and fulfill our inventory based on demand."
"Self-service use of the desktop version with the ability to port applications into the server environment."
"What I found most valuable in Qlik Sense is its flexibility. It's a very flexible tool, and it has a lot of capabilities compared to Tableau and Power BI. In Qlik Sense, you can take data from any of the systems, and you can do data transformation, prepare the data, then present your KPIs. Data transformation isn't present in Tableau, Power BI, and other tools. In Qlik Sense, you're able to get the data and directly present that data. The presentation layer is also very good in Qlik Sense. My company is very happy with this tool."
"Business users have been able to use the BI self-serve model."
"The drag and drop UI has been the most useful to me."
"The features that I have found most valuable with SAP ERP products are their good user interface, stability, functionality, and good interface options."
"We mainly use Analytics Cloud because it integrates with other SAP solutions. Our ERP is an SAP product, and our back-end is SAP Business Warehouse, so integration is an essential factor."
"It's many features make it the best in the market."
"Its user-friendliness is valuable. It is a product for end-users and not for IT, which is an advantage."
"It's easy to connect Analytics Cloud with other SAP solutions, and it's also effortless to deploy. You don't need much technical skill to set it up. It's as easy as setting up a tablet. I said tablet before. It's very easy to actually set up."
"It is scalable."
"It offers good backup capabilities."
"Data integration is very good."
"More focus needs to be on data streaming/real-time data reporting."
"The only thing I would say that comes up is that sometimes it can be a bit buggy."
"The current visualization features feel incomplete compared to what's available with scripting tools."
"Performing data transformations required a lot of programming, which is something that should be made easier."
"There is an inability to effectively manage (pre)caching (scheduling, assigning for respective user groups, etc), especially without community extensions or uour own development."
"Currently, we are not very happy with the iPad or iPhone app because it is not working as we want."
"The product could be less expensive."
"The solution needs to make improvements to the licensing model. They need to make it more affordable at scale, and to make it more affordable for those companies at the low end of the market as well."
"SAP could add more templates to the platform."
"It should have the flexibility for scoping the story and models. When you use it in a three-layer architecture, you struggle with the fact that you usually have just one SAP Analytics Cloud tenant, and you have to switch the connections, which might be an issue for bigger developments. For the development role, there should be an option to switch between development and production scenarios."
"SAP Analytics cloud needs better exporting options."
"One potential improvement is how we can transpose data. With SAP, if you have data from one system with a declared data type and a different system with another data type, the transfer is tricky."
"There is no direct connector from SAP to Redshift, so we are required to use a third-party product that was recommended by SAP."
"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."
"SAP Analytics Cloud requires a lot of coding and I would like the coding to be somewhat minimal."
"Statistical analysis should be a bit more profound than it is."
