"The user experience is easy. Users get familiar with it quickly."
"It's a powerful platform."
"They should add mobile access."
"ou can pull reports, visualize them in real-time, and connect them to a variety of other data sources."
"I like the flexibility it offers."
"Two valuable most features are the ability to create columns and create measures."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."
"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"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."
"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."
"QlikView is a scalable solution that multiple users can easily use."
"The dashboard could be simplified."
"Microsoft BI's visualization could be better. Though Power BI's visualization has steadily improved over the years, it's not on the level tools like Tableau and SAS or some of the more expensive products on the market."
"The visualization aspect, while being the most visible to business users, also happens the be the weakest point in the entire Microsoft BI stack."
"The solution could improve the extraction and transformation of data. For example, you transform the data and then send it to Microsoft BI without having to use your own API. We are only providing the API to Power BI, and then Power BI is doing the job."
"There are some limitations in Power BI; you have to work in the Power BI base. However, if you want something not out-of-the-box and you want something custom, you have to do a lot of work."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"It should have more integrations."
"The way you navigate the product, compared to other products in this industry, that could be improved a bit."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
"Better source data connectors."
"Needs improvement with UI transparency."
"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."
"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."
"If a user wanted to see something not included in the application the new object had to be created by a power user or developer because Qlik view's scripting has somewhat of a learning curve."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
