Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Self-service use of the desktop version with the ability to port applications into the server environment."
"The associative searching and filtering capability is a unique feature among other BI tools, and one does not need to deeply understand the underlying data."
"Qlik Sense is a very powerful and useful tool."
"Qlik Sense helps us increase our organization's customer relationships and brings in more projects."
"Set analysis is great for its power user capabilities such as performing an IF on an aggregated column. The ability to create custom coloring expressions based on values is also a good idea although not as easy as I wished it was."
"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 has made life easier by visualising data."
"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."
"Visually displaying data."
"The dashboard design interface is very intuitive and allows you to quickly and easily produce professional, innovative dashboards."
"Sisense has helped us gain knowledge about our customers, as well as highlighting data quality issues to correct."
"ElastiCube Manager is a very easy to use ETL tool, which includes the ability to easily transform raw data into reusable data."
"Allows users to build their own solutions without as much reliance on technology staff."
"We like that this solution allows us to use data cubes to set up specific visualizations."
"Allows us to execute heavy, complex computations on the fly so customers can slice and dice the data based on their business needs."
"There are many built-in connectors, which allow us to easily add new sources of data, often in minutes."
"In my opinion, collaborative development of the Qlik Apps is a bit tricky and difficult in the Qlik Sense Cloud."
"The next version should include more standard integrations."
"Possibly offering some more basic, simpler templates."
"There is room for improvement in the storytelling mode and the report sharing. Qlik Sense also does not have a subscription base like Power BI. So a lot of the analysis is housed in community pages that are managed by either the author or a database administrator, or whoever the Qlik Sense manager is there."
"I am not really a fan of the set analysis. It's its own language that doesn't quite make a whole lot of sense to me at this point. I wish it were more intuitive."
"The product could be less expensive."
"From the initial setup of the product we had some struggles getting connections to some of our databases to function, this indicated that some of the data extract drivers can be improved and addition of some of the older database engines need to be added in Qlik Sense."
"Some of the charts are still a bit basic and screen rendering on different sized monitors can be an issue."
"The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing."
"The initial version we purchased only ran on Windows servers, which was less than ideal for our DevOps team. I believe that has been remedied in the latest release."
"They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard."
"The solution's setup process could be easier."
"Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T"
"I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums."
"I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes."
"At present there are additional costs involved if we wish to share our data queues within this solution, which we would like to see removed."
