"The number of visualizations that are present in Qlik is very useful for our developers to help our business partners tell stories with their data. Qlik continues to add to and enhance these visualizations with each release. We are also very excited to leverage the integration between Qlik Sense and Qlik Catalog as we roll that out soon."
"The most valuable features of Qlik Sense are the integration and panel for reports. The integration is very fast even though we process a lot of information."
"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 changes in a dashboard are very easy."
"Data-driven decisions are now easier."
"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."
"The extensibility of the Platform with either internally created extensions or the use of third-party provided items really opens the platform up."
"Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG."
"R and automation services."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO Spotfire are visualization. It's very nice, clear, and, flexible. You can analyze many data types and the user interface is very good."
"The ability to connect to many different data sources is one of the key features. The other would then be the different ways in which that data can be visualized."
"TIBCO Spotfire is easy to use. We initiated Spotfire as POC, with support from a tech team based in South Africa. While they assisted with the setup, we conducted the POC ourselves."
"We used it pretty heavily in gathering data, which goes to our VPs. They are able to base their next revenue planning based on this metric. So, it has been invaluable."
"It allows users to quickly analyze data from a variety of sources and visualize it with powerful, interactive graphs, and charts."
"The ability to create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product."
"This solution would be improved by adding some Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL) components that are easier to interpret and design."
"The reporting solution recently added to the latest Cloud version, since December or January, is not fully developed. The ability to use tabular reporting, like in dashboards, would be a great feature."
"I would like for it to be more of a plug and play with all of the tools and sources. It would make it much easier to use."
"They need to make security rules to access applications and data security easier and customizable."
"The product could be improved by implementing a user-feedback ranking system."
"Even though a huge set of learning material is available, anyone starting his/her journey on learning the software doesn't even know where to start it. The so-called Continous Classroom service is not cheap, but there are many free tutorials, they are not sorted or enlisted adequately though."
"It would be nice to have more native features from QlikView built into Qlik Sense."
"Areas for improvement include user-friendliness, self-service, and some of the visualization options for generating reports."
"The solution might be generic."
"We would like to see some development in the visualization aspect of this solution, as they can currently only be configured in the cloud, which limits us to one endpoint. It would be helpful if this could be integrated with other tools."
"The data compression has room for improvement."
"Compared to competitors, the UI is quite dated."
"I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients."
"When it comes to data manipulation, there are features which are good, but one of the features which has really been missing in Spotfire is an offline ability for data manipulation."
"The initial setup is complicated and needs experience and knowledge."
"We encountered difficulties connecting the special data sets, as the post data set did not contain any shared columns, making it difficult to establish a connection between the data sets."
