Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The ability to integrate with a great variety of data sources.""I am impressed with the tool's scheduling mechanism, refresh mechanism, and different types of charts.""The company dashboard is useful because we could share it via a link as a reminder for everyone to check it weekly. We observed the progress of our portfolio from last week to the current week, allowing us to compare revenues.""This has improved our organization by allowing people to see their data and develop visualizations themselves.""The ability to design complex data models and equations.""I find it favorable regarding speed of development, ease of building, and flexibility.""The solution is free so that is a good feature.""Valuable features include advanced integrated analysis and easy implementation."

"The search feature: ability to see the related data.""If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money.""The solution is fast.""It's pretty easy to deploy.""The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation.""It excels in supporting database connections and various database types.""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.""I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."

Cons
"Stability and scalability an be improved for a full ten.""Other tools might be worth considering if you need more advanced features or support for a larger user base.""It's not yet a replacement for a complete BI tool.""There are issues with integration and I encountered limits and warnings, especially with my pivot table size.""Panels are not as easy to use as other data extraction UIs.""There is a significant degree of sophistication required to compete with Tableau or Cognos.""Insisting on forums, blogs and community outreach in communications, and posting videos on an established calendar would be useful.""When you physically install a product on one machine instead of the cloud, you have a better visibility, best icon quality, etc.. It's more of an issue with how we are adapting to the transition. We are still in the early moments of using this tool, and we need to go deeper to discover some improvements."

"The tool is expensive in Turkey.""I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase.""It is really old. We are moving towards converting everything into a Power BI environment. We want to have a self-service type of BI environment where different levels of users in organizations can log onto a portal and retrieve the data they need or get the necessary insights for decision-making that's important for them or their business unit. They have built a new version of QlikView called QlikSense, which probably competes with newer BI tools, such as Power BI, but they are far behind. That's why we are moving towards a newer tool that's easier to use and has more visualizations to represent the data.""QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly.""It needs work with visualization.""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.""Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models.""Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
