Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in Reporting."The level of interactivity that the product provides is valuable to me."
"When reviewing and interpreting data, I typically examine it in a tabular form to understand its structure. However, when explaining or presenting the findings to others, I often use visualization tools such as Plotly. These tools allow me to create visual representations of datasets."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"Qlik Sense has a modern look and feel and a very intuitive UI, so non-technical users find it very user friendly."
"The integration with R & Python for predictive modeling, and possibly machine learning in the future, is very valuable."
"Qlik has made life easier by visualising data."
"Set analysis is great for its power user capabilities such as performing an IF on an aggregated column. The ability to create custom coloring expressions based on values is also a good idea although not as easy as I wished it was."
"What I found most valuable in Qlik Sense is its flexibility. It's a very flexible tool, and it has a lot of capabilities compared to Tableau and Power BI. In Qlik Sense, you can take data from any of the systems, and you can do data transformation, prepare the data, then present your KPIs. Data transformation isn't present in Tableau, Power BI, and other tools. In Qlik Sense, you're able to get the data and directly present that data. The presentation layer is also very good in Qlik Sense. My company is very happy with this tool."
"Allowing the users to be able to take snapshots and create their own story without ever leaving the application is a very good feature."
"Qlik Sense has helped us in getting all inventory details in real-time ready for our sales reps to order and fulfill our inventory based on demand."
"Quick reporting."
"I believe that the prices of the tool's paid services could be on the premium side, so the pricing model can be considered for improvement."
"The solution cannot be deployed on the website and shared with others through its own platform."
"The tool needs to improve its pie charts. Regarding Plotly, I find the online documentation somewhat challenging to navigate, especially when dealing with many parameters. Searching through thousands of parameters can be a tedious and less straightforward process. While the documentation is available online and serves its purpose, I often encounter difficulties in finding the information."
"Report generation without the need for NPrinting, which has limited capabilities anyway, would be an improvement."
"Right now, it is complex and you have to understand the data model prior to analyzing it, so basically I would like to see an integration with Excel in the future."
"The product could be improved by implementing a user-feedback ranking system."
"There are some tools like Alteryx, which are used for data preparation. These features can be built into Qlik to make the process smoother."
"I would like to more easily themed environments."
"Currently, we are not very happy with the iPad or iPhone app because it is not working as we want."
"It needs continued improvement on its visualizations and content customization."
"They should generally focus more on the evolution of current capabilities rather than doing everything but only at 50% effectiveness."
