Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in Reporting."Once you open it up, you see everything that you can do."
"The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."
"A well designed app brings freedom of inquiry to meetings, allowing me to answer questions in real time and this has transformed progress and outputs of our monthly group meeting."
"You can do a lot of things on the back end which are not possible in the other solutions on the market."
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"The ultimate feature is the product it produces. The ROI around that saves hours and hours. It's probably about a hundred days per year. The time savings and the ability to turn it around quickly pleases our customers."
"One of the things they added in the last two or three years is PODs, Portable Object Doclets. One of our clients said they wanted to use PODs. They're a good way to make some constructs modular and keep things in one place."
"The most valuable feature is the Rich Text or TinyMCE in fields. For example, you have a text field but it is not a regular text field, it is a link. Inside this link, you can copy/paste everything: images, text, and tables together. After saving this field, you can pull it into the document."
"Managing templates through MS Word, as non technical users can manage output."
"From an integration perspective, they provide the code for you to easily integrate with existing applications."
"The usually the response is within one hour. The technical support will WebEx with you. I rate them as a 10 out of 10."
"You can use Microsoft Office as your designer interface. There is very little programming. You can have nontechnical people create reports."
"Another thing our clients absolutely love is the ability to design templates within the Microsoft Office suite, because of how simple it is. They're building off of something that's familiar. When they can build off of that feature, on top of something that's very familiar, that's a plus for them."
"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."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"The tool is expensive in Turkey."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
"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."
"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."
"Better source data connectors."
"I'm still working in Office 2016, and we have had some issues, but Windward is very quick to react when there is a problem. We are also going to switch over to Office 365 and that will solve a few of the problems."
"It needs the ability to drill down in a single report (i.e., interactive) into data."
"The next release could benefit from a cloud-based environment."
"Their PDF needs improvement. We've run into some issues when we tried to generate a Word document. If we try to generate the same document in PDF, sometimes it doesn't look exactly the same."
"AutoTag needs to be web-based, so our customers can create reports from our web."
"I have to deal with VERY long lists of properties contained in our XMLs and it would be nice if Windward offered a way to alphabetize this property list."
"It would be nice to have a black-and-white, ideal setup for servers, to maximize capabilities. We went through a lot of scenarios to get something that is scalable. An ideal AWS-package server setup could have saved us a lot of time. But I understand this is very company specific."
"There are some Excel formatting things that you lose when you implement a template: some default Excel validation scripts, macros. You could create them in Excel if you were just using Excel, but in creating a template that generates a report, some of those validation things are lost."
