We performed a comparison between Board and Qlik Sense based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 ability to do write back and visualization, with minimal IT development orientation."
"The benefits are getting the data in one spot, the ability to report dynamically, and version control."
"BOARD technical support is knowledgeable and helpful."
"The most valuable features are the reporting and the charts. The reporting functionality is handy for aggregation, when it comes to planning. That ability is fascinating and our users are very happy with it. The charts and the reporting allow our users to see all the data and to see how things are going this year or in the COVID situation. They're seeing everything. Instead of having to check data line by line, they're seeing it in a graph and they're seeing it in charts."
"The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it."
"Where it used to take me three days at the beginning of the year to create the new financial statement, now it is a matter of minutes because all the data is in the system."
"It allows people to quickly create dashboards with reports."
"We have better reporting and have been able to better track performance."
"Allowing the users to be able to take snapshots and create their own story without ever leaving the application is a very good feature."
"The Nprinting is useful."
"The most valuable feature is flexibility."
"Qlik Sense is much more user-friendly and easier to read then QlikView."
"My organization now has data from disparate systems at their fingertips in a way that lets them get the answers they need when they want it."
"Some of the valuable areas of this solution include producing individual reports and closing the gap."
"The GeoAnalytics paints such a clear picture. It provides a visual of our patient volume, giving us opportunities to see how we are trending in the surrounding cities, and making us more aware of locations that we need to focus more on."
"The extensibility of the Platform with either internally created extensions or the use of third-party provided items really opens the platform up."
"One thing that I personally would like to see is additional visualization tools for visuals."
"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."
"It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. It should be a little more intuitive."
"The one thing that I think we would like to see in terms of improvement of the application is the ability to print. It's fantastic to have all of these graphic visualization of data, but we're not able to very easily just print... From my perspective, if you can have a little "print" button and then you just click it and it would produce what's on the screen, that would be very helpful."
"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. "
"We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. "
"It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use."
"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."
"There are some tools like Alteryx, which are used for data preparation. These features can be built into Qlik to make the process smoother."
"Moving forward I would like to see more features that are currently available in QlikView, such as being able to better customize coloring within charts. I would also like to see the ability to add calculated dimensions to the selections tool in the page."
"In my opinion, collaborative development of the Qlik Apps is a bit tricky and difficult in the Qlik Sense Cloud."
"What needs improvement in Qlik Sense is the support. It could be faster. My organization had already talked to Qlik management and has escalated multiple times, so management is looking into the support."
"The navigation is quite clunky and outdated."
"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."
"Ultra-customization: It needs no limits on which charts can have x amount of dimensions, y amount of measures, z amount of color expressions, etc."
"Integrated maps should become part of the Qlik Sense, as opposed to buying an additional module just to power the BI, which has it built-in natively within the application."
