Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Dashboards and self-service reports. These are widely used by customers in the EPM domain."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"The search feature: ability to see the related data."
"QlikView is a scalable solution that multiple users can easily use."
"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."
"It is a stable product."
"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"Our Qlikview applications help us to get a good idea of our Client Base Performance and assist us in the decision making for Seasonal Specials. On the other hand QlikView helps us to get a grasp on our Suppliers and helps us to negotiate pricing with them."
"Customer support takes lot of time to get a solution."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"There's room for improvement in the area of management's handling of concerns."
"It would be nice if QlikView could be plugged in into the company's website or an online portal such as QlikSense is capable of. There are ways around but it takes enormous time to develop."
"Although Qliktech's road map clearly states that QlikView has a long way to go, most of the R&D effort seems to be benefiting Qlik Sense."
