We performed a comparison between Board and Qlik Sense based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."My favourite feature of BOARD is the ability to write back to the OLAP DB, as well as the Rdb, and secure user data allowing databases to be flushed and rebuilt daily."
"The flexibility and the user-experience are the most valuable features of the solution."
"It has a good set of visual elements that you can use and can explain quite well."
"It has definitely saved us time, especially in our budget and planning processes."
"We have better reporting and have been able to better track performance."
"The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it."
"All staff can now see their relevant scorecards online."
"With the combination of 24/7 global support and their community, there was great customer service, tech support, and community support."
"My organization now has data from disparate systems at their fingertips in a way that lets them get the answers they need when they want it."
"The extensibility of the Platform with either internally created extensions or the use of third-party provided items really opens the platform up."
"We have been using Qlik Sense to generate reports that have taken hours to prepare before that we are now able to update in a couple of minutes and are available to users on a centralized platform where they are able to get the required reports."
"Qlik Sense is much more user-friendly and easier to read then QlikView."
"The most valuable feature is the mobile platform."
"The Qlik Sense cloud insights advisor helps our business users to get the answers to their data questions so that they do not have to rely on IT/BI resources every time they have some data request."
"It is very easy to use, and the Qlik data engine has been able to handle everything we have thrown at it."
"The product responds fast for data analysis."
"The product can be improved by making it possible to know where cubes are used."
"It needs more export to Excel functionality. Right now, we're having to build within the cloud-based platform, as well as build within the Excel add-in, because the export to Excel is somewhat ugly."
"The one thing that I think we would like to see in terms of improvement of the application is the ability to print. It's fantastic to have all of these graphic visualization of data, but we're not able to very easily just print... From my perspective, if you can have a little "print" button and then you just click it and it would produce what's on the screen, that would be very helpful."
"It would be nice to have more connectors for other data sources. BOARD is a great tool to become the single source of the truth. Making it easier to connect data sources for niche software tools will make it easier to keep everything in one place."
"Sometimes, the data disappears from the product."
"It would be nice to see truly transferable processes from model to model, as well as a method of building repetitive processes."
"If we could upload other data, e.g., pivot tables which can be done in BOARD already, that we have pre-existing and have that data distribute to more complex spreadsheets, I would like that going forward."
"We would like to see better logging in the procedural world."
"More pivot table options, like the ability to have the totals row at the bottom of the table, would be helpful."
"Performing data transformations required a lot of programming, which is something that should be made easier."
"There is a direction currently with feature releases within QLik Sense which are focused towards the SaaS or Cloud offerings of Qlik Sense. This leaves those who have invested heavily in on-premise enterprise deployments in a difficult position to gain the benefits of some powerful new features they have to look to reinvest further towards these SaaS or Cloud deployments or bring in a hybrid model. Qlik provides no real split between what features are available in each of the deployment options."
"There is no downside."
"There is an inability to effectively manage (pre)caching (scheduling, assigning for respective user groups, etc), especially without community extensions or uour own development."
"Qlik dashboards are not friendly with end-users, but they have been enhancing this shorted in some recent releases and next releases hopefully."
"I would like to more easily themed environments."
"I'd like to see more end-user-friendly UI designs."
