Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models.""The user interface and dashboards are very good.""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.""Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features.""The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time.""The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis.""It is a stable product.""It's pretty easy to deploy."

"Sisense has helped us gain knowledge about our customers, as well as highlighting data quality issues to correct.""​Allows users to build their own solutions without as much reliance on technology staff.""ElastiCube Manager is a very easy to use ETL tool, which includes the ability to easily transform raw data into reusable data.""The best part about this solution is how easy it is to mash up the data from many sources. Sisense is fast compared to other solutions.""I have found the dashboard creating feature helpful.""Whenever we have an issue or are unsure how to proceed, they manage to simplify the issue and help us execute it in a graceful and scalable way.""The dashboard design interface is very intuitive and allows you to quickly and easily produce professional, innovative dashboards.""A very simple setup: Easy to download, install, and updates are pain free."

Cons
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality.""Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved.""There is a challenge on the frontend when it comes to browsing data through QlikView, as it isn't entirely compatible with other platforms we use.""It needs work with visualization.""It is really old. We are moving towards converting everything into a Power BI environment. We want to have a self-service type of BI environment where different levels of users in organizations can log onto a portal and retrieve the data they need or get the necessary insights for decision-making that's important for them or their business unit. They have built a new version of QlikView called QlikSense, which probably competes with newer BI tools, such as Power BI, but they are far behind. That's why we are moving towards a newer tool that's easier to use and has more visualizations to represent the data.""QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly.""They could improve the speed.""QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."

More QlikView Cons →

"Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T""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.""I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data.""I would also like to be able to run a bursts of reports based on different field values with PDF output right in the tool, rather than filtering on each field value and generating each PDF manually.""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.""I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes.""The solution's setup process could be easier.""They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard."

  • "The pricing is too high compared to the other solutions on the market."
  • "It is not very expensive. I think it it is on par with other similar products on the market."
