Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has definitely saved us time, especially in our budget and planning processes.""The dynamic selections on the screen and details by function are also valuable for inside the data view.""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.""With the combination of 24/7 global support and their community, there was great customer service, tech support, and community support.""The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it.""We can build reports super fast.​""It has a good set of visual elements that you can use and can explain quite well.""BOARD technical support is knowledgeable and helpful."

"It enables us to configure various elements, such as dashboard settings, including factors like color schemes and other customization parameters.""It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations.""This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed.""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's pretty easy to deploy.""E-T-L, The Extract, Transform, and Loading capabilities of QlikView make it a highly sophisticated self-service business intelligence tool for developers and analysts.""Easy to analyze data by click-through.""Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."

Cons
"I'd like to see a more passive report user for enterprise report writers that aren't particularly technical.""Sometimes, the data disappears from the product.""​One of the things that I would like to see is the ability to have a rule directly referenced on the cubes.​""One thing that I personally would like to see is additional visualization tools for visuals.""​We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD.""We have had some challenges with newer version of the rollout in terms of stability.""We would like to see better logging in the procedural world.""We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. ​"

More Board Cons →

"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily.""Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening.""Improvements are required in the hide and unhide functionality that falls under the layout container feature that has been used in my company in recent times.""Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial.""If a user wanted to see something not included in the application the new object had to be created by a power user or developer because Qlik view's scripting has somewhat of a learning curve.""The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up.""Although Qliktech's road map clearly states that QlikView has a long way to go, most of the R&D effort seems to be benefiting Qlik Sense.""Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "​In terms of the pricing, it was reasonable. BOARD is not the lowest in the market, but it was reasonable for us."
  • "It is not the cheapest product on earth, but you get so much. It provides good value for money."
  • "The solution is quite expensive, if it is made cheaper then we can have more clients. I rate it four out of ten."
  • More Board Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing is a bit too high and I think licenses should be unlimited."
  • "QlikView pricing and licensing is on the high side for a small sized company, but it's competitive among its peers."
  • "Qlik is fairly high in terms of pricing."
  • "The pricing is too high compared to the other solutions on the market."
  • "It is not very expensive. I think it it is on par with other similar products on the market."
  • "The setup costs for QlikView are fair as are the yearly maintenance fees. The licensing becomes a bit more expensive and requires some planning for onboarding."
  • "It has an annual license. It is expensive as compared to other competitive tools that do more for less. In South African rands, we pay about 100,000 to 200,000 a year."
  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one being low price and ten being high price, I rate pricing a four."
