Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"When reviewing and interpreting data, I typically examine it in a tabular form to understand its structure. However, when explaining or presenting the findings to others, I often use visualization tools such as Plotly. These tools allow me to create visual representations of datasets.""It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten.""The level of interactivity that the product provides is valuable to me."

More Plotly Pros →

"It is useful to use a tool like this to have a view of data at a point in time. You can extract and create little data sets that you can store, and then over time, you can have a view for tracking changes. Especially when you work with a relational database or a database that's a production database, the data is dynamic, but if you use QlikView, you can take a snapshot of different datasets. In your own time, you can then get insights and report, build, analyze, and draw whatever you need from the data, which is quite useful.""The search feature: ability to see the related data.""QlikView is a scalable solution that multiple users can easily use.""Once you open it up, you see everything that you can do.""The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information.""One of the good thing is that you can integrate different data source technologies. So you can model your environment without having any of our views running.""The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis.""It enables us to configure various elements, such as dashboard settings, including factors like color schemes and other customization parameters."

Cons
"I believe that the prices of the tool's paid services could be on the premium side, so the pricing model can be considered for improvement.""The solution cannot be deployed on the website and shared with others through its own platform.""The tool needs to improve its pie charts. Regarding Plotly, I find the online documentation somewhat challenging to navigate, especially when dealing with many parameters. Searching through thousands of parameters can be a tedious and less straightforward process. While the documentation is available online and serves its purpose, I often encounter difficulties in finding the information."

More Plotly Cons →

"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code.""Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved.""They should offer the capability to directly access data from SaaS environments, as it would simplify the migration process, and while it may seem like a minor enhancement, it would be beneficial to our clients.""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.""The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning.""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.""The tool is expensive in Turkey.""QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
