"I can't name the features the way the Knowage community calls them because I still don't know the lingo. However, I can describe them. I like the ability to join more than one report, set all fields on one end, and replicate that on the other reports. I like that a lot. I think it's one of the features that got me using Knowage. They have tables, and I like that too. They took SQL scripts and many other scripts and enabled them to even correlate with Python. That's also one of the best things about Knowage. You could also decide to get information per user role, and this is also a feature that I like in Knowage."
"The embedding feature is great."
"The concept of engines is quite powerful allowing the user to work with report authoring/provisioning tools of their choice."
"We can easily do our own customizations."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"The user interface and dashboards are very good."
"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"The only challenge here is that it's a Java-based platform. It requires very high technical skills."
"It would be better if more resources were available to help us learn how to use it. I wanted to use Knowage for a more extended period, but learning materials around the product were not really available and were not really straightforward. I've also seen inconsistencies between versions. For example, under the tools, especially in the cockpit, the way you create reports is now different. You will also find some configurations within a particular state, like a line chart, which differs from version to version. I think consistency is an essential feature in a product, especially for business intelligence products."
"The dashboard components could be better."
"Development of SpagoBI has now been moved to Knowage. Users interested in further developments of the platform will have to look there."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields."
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."
"They could improve the speed."
"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
"Better source data connectors."
