Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in Reporting."Easy to analyze data by click-through."
"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."
"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."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"QlikView is a scalable solution that multiple users can easily use."
"Visual Analytics is very easy to use. I use Visual Analytics for all the typical use cases except text mining. I used it to analyze data and monitor statistics, not text mining. I also use it for data visualization as well as creating interactive dashboards and infographics."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"The most solution's notable aspect, in my view, is the ability to integrate various data sources and harness advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. This helps with quality assurance processes."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"Quick deployment to dashboards and analytics features (using SAS Visual Statistics and Enterprise Guide). Easy to create a simple forecast and discover business insights using segmentation tools."
"They could improve the update time."
"Scalability really depends on the size of your data and QlikView server architecture. For the biggest data sets, it could become an issue at some point."
"Better source data connectors."
"The user interface is old."
"For me, it is important to have a mix, what is the "view" and what is the "sense", Qlik Sense. They have two tools, but for me it is important to have only one tool, which combines the functions that we have from one side and the other side."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
"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."
"It is not as mature as competitors such as Tableau and QlikView."
"Colours used on report objects"
"A bit more flexibility in the temperatization will be helpful."
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"There is a need for coding when it comes to digital reporting which can be intimidating."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"There are scalability issues. It depends on the data volume and number of end-users. VA requires a lot of hardware resources to move volumes of data."
