We performed a comparison between Qlik Sense and SAS Visual Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The flexibility of Qlik Sense and the addition of 3rd party extensions allow us to extend the use of Qlik Sense beyond analytics and bring the platform to the core of our digital workplace, augmenting analytics with workflow, and team collaboration."
"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."
"Showing a miniature version of the chart if the case chart is bigger than the screen resolution allows us to have full context at all times."
"Set analysis is a powerful scripting functionality which calculates complex queries into simple terms."
"Qlik Sense has a modern look and feel and a very intuitive UI, so non-technical users find it very user friendly."
"The ETL component allows us to pull from many different sources, making pulling data in easy."
"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."
"Qlik Sense is very stable. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. Even for rare issues, we receive good support from Qlik. It's a very stable solution."
"I believe that the possibilities for exploring data and formulating visual results are quite good because it allows the business analyst to have different perspectives on the data."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"We've found the product to be stable and reliable."
"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."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"It's a stable, reliable product."
"The navigation is quite clunky and outdated."
"The one thing I would probably try to add is some kind of tutorial since the tool has a lot of options to work with, and for someone who is just starting and does not have any prior experience, it can be a little overwhelming."
"Multi-server deployment: not just cloud, but on premise too, and hybrid. Needs lighter protocols to communicate between the different services and with the clients."
"Qlik application automation needs additional work and features."
"There is room for improvement in the learning curve when getting started, but training resources have been growing."
"The SaaS offering is being enriched quickly in order to attract new customers to that space and encouraging existing customers to make the switch. The Enterprise solution is therefore lagging behind SaaS in features."
"I would like to see Qlik add more DevOps functionality to their product. Currently, we have to turn to 3rd party products to handle things like Source Control, Code Deployment through environments, etc."
"Possibly offering some more basic, simpler templates."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"The solution should improve its graphics."
"A bit more flexibility in the temperatization will be helpful."
"The visualization should be better in SAS Visual Analytics. It is easy to use but when compared to other solutions it is lacking and the support is not very good."
"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."
"Colours used on report objects"
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
