"The most valuable feature is that it is able to slice and dice the data."
"Planning Analytics' best features include automatic updates and slicing."
"The product's stability is good."
"The ease of use is valuable. The fact that it's plugged into Excel spreadsheets is also valuable. It provides additional functionality where you can slice and dice the information in a way that you can't do with spreadsheets"
"The most valuable features of IBM Planning Analytics for streamlining planning processes include a unified database where all data are centralized."
"IBM Planning Analytics is easy to use and deploy. It is quick to develop. The calculation machine is also very fast."
"It's a very stable, robust product."
"The number of visualizations that are present in Qlik is very useful for our developers to help our business partners tell stories with their data. Qlik continues to add to and enhance these visualizations with each release. We are also very excited to leverage the integration between Qlik Sense and Qlik Catalog as we roll that out soon."
"Takes the super features of QlikView ETL capabilities to a whole new level with its new drag and drop feature, and extension capabilities derived from the robust Qlik API."
"Qlik Sense is much more user-friendly and easier to read then QlikView."
"Qlik Sense has a modern look and feel and a very intuitive UI, so non-technical users find it very user friendly."
"Set analysis is a powerful scripting functionality which calculates complex queries into simple terms."
"Qlik Sense makes it very easy to build interactive presentations for meetings."

"The time it takes to deliver a dashboard is real quick."
"Extracting data is a little slow."
"The new frontend Planning Analytics Workspace is not very good, it could be improved. I like the Planning Analytics functionality but it would be helpful if it could be more customizable. You can create a prediction and receive information but you cannot do feature engineering regarding the predictive models. If this was added it would be helpful."
"The dashboard is very poor and needs a lot of improvement."
"The tool's transport layer could be improved when promoting development between environments."
"Planning Analytics could be improved by adding automation features."
"It's highly competitive right now, and all the vendors are in a race to put out new versions with additional features. IBM comes out with new versions too often, and it has an impact on quality."
"Adding predefined templates could be beneficial."
"It is a bit expensive, but it does the job."
"The only thing I would say that comes up is that sometimes it can be a bit buggy."
"The augmented intelligence features don't work well for the analytical user."
"Performing data transformations required a lot of programming, which is something that should be made easier."
"Ability for the administrator to approve Community Sheets in the QMC and then move them into base sheets."
"Even though a huge set of learning material is available, anyone starting his/her journey on learning the software doesn't even know where to start it. The so-called Continous Classroom service is not cheap, but there are many free tutorials, they are not sorted or enlisted adequately though."
"Branding is not the product's strongest point. More control over the presentation colors would be great. A basic printing function would also be good. Easy connection to external tools like R Server would be nice."
"Better searching capabilities would be a nice addition."
"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."
