"Reload failure alerts on the application within the Qlik Management Console without any use of extensions. QlikView is able to handle these alerts directly through the QlikView Management Console. We would appreciate a similar solution that is easy to set up and use. Simple formatting options in the pivot and straight tables such as adjusting line thickness and font selection and size."
"I would like to have the ability to better customize the visuals including changing fonts, sizing, colors, axes, and titles."
"I wish the product had the ability for slightly more customization. The out-of-the box charts and visualizations are fantastic, but I want to be able to tweak it without having to add outside extensions and widgets."
"The product could be improved by implementing a user-feedback ranking system."
"My advice to others is to make sure they have a good technical team. We have found that a lot of the consultants go in and out of the business and sometimes you are left alone without assistance."
"More pivot table options, like the ability to have the totals row at the bottom of the table, would be helpful."
"Advanced graphs or visualizations must be in the built-in product, instead of building with open API extensions or mashups."
"There is room for improvement in the learning curve when getting started, but training resources have been growing."
"The platform should be a bit more user-friendly."
"The combination of Lumira along with Design Studio merger last year still needs development from a visualization standpoint."
"Its data visualization tool is not as good as Power BI and Tableau. Currently, for data visualization, you need to spend more money to buy another solution such as Power BI or Tableau. It is also very hard to integrate it with other third-party solutions. Its integration with other solutions should be improved."
"It needs to be more flexible for the end-user."
"The self-service area, or dashboard, needs some improvement. While the reporting itself is great, the dashboard and Analytics Cloud are not user friendly."
"Technical support may not always be timely or effective."
"More thorough testing of Service Packs before release."
"There should be more integration with other platforms."
