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 most valuable features of Qlik Sense are the integration and panel for reports. The integration is very fast even though we process a lot of information."
"Qlik Sense has given us visibility into our data to make informed decisions."
"The most valuable features of Qlik Sense are its speed and seamless development of web technologies."
"Qlik Sense is essentially a web-based tool even though it's on-prem – you're working off an HTML page – so it's pretty quick. Your processing speed does not matter because you're using a lot of stuff through the web. That's great because it brings down the cost in regards to hardware."
"Faster time to delivery utilizing useful charts and graphs, which allows for on-demand generation of analytical data in tables, graphs, and charts."
"For a deployment scenario, Qlik Sense is also very easy to use. I can start development from any platform, on-premise or cloud, and continue from where I left off."
"It is very easy to use, and the Qlik data engine has been able to handle everything we have thrown at it."
"Data-driven decisions are now easier."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The solution is quite effective for collaborative planning."
"It's many features make it the best in the market."
"The most valuable features are the visualization and user-friendliness."
"Planning is the most valuable feature of the product because it's integrated and that means we don't need to rely on an independent planning environment."
"The most valuable features are on the application side, where you can design applications into your analytics on the platform."
"I like the product's capabilities. The clarity and scenarios are the main features that allow us to forecast using machine learning algorithms and make decisions."
"The solution is stable."
"The security rules should be made easier to use."
"Mostly when it comes to the loading of the data and reload times of the reports, it could be better."
"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."
"The only thing I would say that comes up is that sometimes it can be a bit buggy."
"The reporting solution recently added to the latest Cloud version, since December or January, is not fully developed. The ability to use tabular reporting, like in dashboards, would be a great feature."
"A valuable improvement for this solution would be the enabling of us to host dashboards for our customers."
"Some of the charts are still a bit basic and screen rendering on different sized monitors can be an issue."
"I am not really a fan of the set analysis. It's its own language that doesn't quite make a whole lot of sense to me at this point. I wish it were more intuitive."
"I would also like to have more advanced features for predictive analytics."
"The budget management could be better."
"I expect more integration from SAP Analytics Cloud."
"We need to know that we are using the latest and greatest, and SAP appears as if it has lost some credit in the market."
"However, there are areas of improvement, particularly in terms of visualization. The front-end interface of SAP Analytics Cloud is not as impressive as Tableau and Power BI. The charts in other solutions have a more visually appealing and customizable look, while in SAP Analytics Cloud, there's a lack of alignment between numbers and charts. This graphical aspect, especially concerning charts, is not as satisfactory in SAP Analytics Cloud compared to its counterparts."
"I am not happy with the predictive analytics features and smart features offered by the product, making them areas where improvements are required."
"It's lacking a bit in maturity and we find we can't run our business off it until it's improved."
"When it comes to planning there is a concern about the ability to match the exact requirements of the customer with what the product offers."
