Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."The most valuable features of IBM Planning Analytics for streamlining planning processes include a unified database where all data are centralized."
"IBM Planning Analytics is easy to use and deploy. It is quick to develop. The calculation machine is also very fast."
"A lot of the platform is in-memory, so Planning Analytics can run calculations quite fast. It also offers several user interfaces. And in the newest version of Planning Analytics, there is a new one called the Planning Analytics Workspace. Maybe it could be useful for the business side."
"The most valuable feature is that it is able to slice and dice the data."
"The ease of use is valuable. The fact that it's plugged into Excel spreadsheets is also valuable. It provides additional functionality where you can slice and dice the information in a way that you can't do with spreadsheets"
"Navigating through the data to make analysis is really quick."
"Planning Analytics' best features include automatic updates and slicing."
"The product's stability is good."
"Easy to analyze data by click-through."
"It is a stable product."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"The search feature: ability to see the related data."
"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"This is a very cool application with endless options of creativity and visuals."
"The dashboard is very poor and needs a lot of improvement."
"It's wonky, and not super user-friendly with Excel."
"It is a bit expensive, but it does the job."
"Extracting data is a little slow."
"The tool should include features for prediction. It can also improve the scalability."
"The tool's transport layer could be improved when promoting development between environments."
"It would have been better if the solution was not just a tool kit."
"The local authentication part is difficult to manage in the product, making it an area where improvements are required."
"They could improve the update time."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The user interface is old."
"Scalability really depends on the size of your data and QlikView server architecture. For the biggest data sets, it could become an issue at some point."
"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."
