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."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."
"It is very easy to use, and the Qlik data engine has been able to handle everything we have thrown at it."
"The most valuable feature is the interface for the end-user."
"The GeoAnalytics paints such a clear picture. It provides a visual of our patient volume, giving us opportunities to see how we are trending in the surrounding cities, and making us more aware of locations that we need to focus more on."
"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 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."
"It connects very simply to data sources."
"We began to see how our processes and other team's processes were negatively affecting the bottom line. We were able to provide tips to other teams to help improve their processes."
"The most solution's notable aspect, in my view, is the ability to integrate various data sources and harness advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. This helps with quality assurance processes."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"I like SAS Visual Analytics for its ability to provide an initial understanding of data through exploration, even before deep analytics."
"The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great."
"There is no downside."
"Possibly offering some more basic, simpler templates."
"A valuable improvement for this solution would be the enabling of us to host dashboards for our customers."
"Better searching capabilities would be a nice addition."
"They need to make security rules to access applications and data security easier and customizable."
"The scripts available in the solution are not great."
"Reload time is a limit since everyone wants real-time data."
"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."
"The charts and tables could use better sorting, primarily using other variables than the ones on the figure. If they could implement views like in the older version (previous to Viya), it would be very nice."
"There are scalability issues. It depends on the data volume and number of end-users. VA requires a lot of hardware resources to move volumes of data."
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"Colours used on report objects"
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."
