Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in Reporting."The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."
"QlikView is a scalable solution that multiple users can easily use."
"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."
"You can do a lot of things on the back end which are not possible in the other solutions on the market."
"This is a very cool application with endless options of creativity and visuals."
"It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"The solution is fast."
"Quick deployment to dashboards and analytics features (using SAS Visual Statistics and Enterprise Guide). Easy to create a simple forecast and discover business insights using segmentation tools."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"I like SAS Visual Analytics for its ability to provide an initial understanding of data through exploration, even before deep analytics."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"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."
"What I really love about the software is that I have never struggled in implementing it for complex business requirements. It is good for highly sophisticated and specialized statistics in the areas that some people tend to call artificial intelligence. It is used for everything that involves visual presentation and analysis of highly sophisticated statistics for forecasting and other purposes."
"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
"Though the initial setup phase is simple, when it comes to the integration with the custom systems, the configuration and the compatibility sometimes take some more time."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"For me, it is important to have a mix, what is the "view" and what is the "sense", Qlik Sense. They have two tools, but for me it is important to have only one tool, which combines the functions that we have from one side and the other side."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
"They could improve the speed."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
"The deployment isn't smooth. Deploying Visual Analytics on the cloud takes a lot of work, or you can use some providers that give you SAS as a service. For example, there is a provider called SaasNow. They host SAS Visual Analytics and the license. You can buy the license and deploy it there without the hassle of installation because deploying the software isn't easy."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"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."
