Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in Reporting."It is a stable product."
"It excels in supporting database connections and various database types."
"Once you open it up, you see everything that you can do."
"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"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 language support is very good."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"I like SAS Visual Analytics for its ability to provide an initial understanding of data through exploration, even before deep analytics."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"We've found the product to be stable and reliable."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"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."
"It is really old. We are moving towards converting everything into a Power BI environment. We want to have a self-service type of BI environment where different levels of users in organizations can log onto a portal and retrieve the data they need or get the necessary insights for decision-making that's important for them or their business unit. They have built a new version of QlikView called QlikSense, which probably competes with newer BI tools, such as Power BI, but they are far behind. That's why we are moving towards a newer tool that's easier to use and has more visualizations to represent the data."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"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."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
"The deployment isn't smooth. Deploying Visual Analytics on the cloud takes a lot of work, or you can use some providers that give you SAS as a service. For example, there is a provider called SaasNow. They host SAS Visual Analytics and the license. You can buy the license and deploy it there without the hassle of installation because deploying the software isn't easy."
"Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help."
"SAS Visual Analytics could improve by making it more accessible for users outside the organization."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"The charts and tables could use better sorting, primarily using other variables than the ones on the figure. If they could implement views like in the older version (previous to Viya), it would be very nice."
"The licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
