We performed a comparison between Board and QlikView based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ease of being able to get the data into BOARD is what makes it nice for people with a semi-IT background."
"Primary valuable features are its flexibility and versatility and, obviously, functionality goes along with that. Plus, it does that at a small footprint in the file servers, and does it very efficiently."
"The most valuable features are the reporting and the charts. The reporting functionality is handy for aggregation, when it comes to planning. That ability is fascinating and our users are very happy with it. The charts and the reporting allow our users to see all the data and to see how things are going this year or in the COVID situation. They're seeing everything. Instead of having to check data line by line, they're seeing it in a graph and they're seeing it in charts."
"With the combination of 24/7 global support and their community, there was great customer service, tech support, and community support."
"It allows people to quickly create dashboards with reports."
"Now, we have only one version of the truth."
"We can build reports super fast."
"It is very easy to use. It has got what they call a toolkit, which is a no-code development environment. You can develop a whole solution with it because it is a complete platform. There is a lot of online material that can be used as a reference. You can help yourself while developing a solution. There are some prebuilt applications in the platform environment. You can very easily customize and integrate these applications. It also has flexible scaling of machine resources, which is really great."
"It excels in supporting database connections and various database types."
"E-T-L, The Extract, Transform, and Loading capabilities of QlikView make it a highly sophisticated self-service business intelligence tool for developers and analysts."
"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"The solution is fast."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"The language support is very good."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"The scalability is there."
"The engine of the Board should be made powerful like the engine of IBM planning which is more powerful in terms of performance. The consolidated finance area also needs improvement."
"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."
"What could be better is the manual... nowadays, most people use a web client, but on the Board manual website, a lot of the information is only about the Windows client. If they could update that, it would be helpful."
"Some of our users are still using an MS Office add-in for Excel for certain calculations, and when they export from Board, some of the values, some of the totals and column names, are not coming through into Excel."
"It would be nice to see truly transferable processes from model to model, as well as a method of building repetitive processes."
"It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. It should be a little more intuitive."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"It can have more functionality for narrative reporting. They should also improve their training courses, which are currently very lightweight. When you get into more complex things, it is quite difficult to figure out what you're supposed to do, and you have to look at a lot of videos before you actually understand, which is a bit frustrating. Their training can be more comprehensive."
"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
"Needs improvement with UI transparency."
"Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
"They could improve the speed."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"Though the initial setup phase is simple, when it comes to the integration with the custom systems, the configuration and the compatibility sometimes take some more time."
"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."
"The tool is expensive in Turkey."
