"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"Once you open it up, you see everything that you can do."
"Our Qlikview applications help us to get a good idea of our Client Base Performance and assist us in the decision making for Seasonal Specials. On the other hand QlikView helps us to get a grasp on our Suppliers and helps us to negotiate pricing with them."
"It is useful to use a tool like this to have a view of data at a point in time. You can extract and create little data sets that you can store, and then over time, you can have a view for tracking changes. Especially when you work with a relational database or a database that's a production database, the data is dynamic, but if you use QlikView, you can take a snapshot of different datasets. In your own time, you can then get insights and report, build, analyze, and draw whatever you need from the data, which is quite useful."
"The solution is fast."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"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 relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"Visual Analytics is very easy to use. I use Visual Analytics for all the typical use cases except text mining. I used it to analyze data and monitor statistics, not text mining. I also use it for data visualization as well as creating interactive dashboards and infographics."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"The technical support services are good."
"It's a stable, reliable product."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"There is a lot of APIs available, which means that Tableau can be customized to a large extent."
"When compared to Power BI, Tableau has more readily available resources."
"The solution is easy to use, flexible, our clients enjoy seeing the data on maps, and you do not need to be an expert in SQL to use it."
"Tableau has many different connectors for different databases. It's very easy to connect to MySQL, SQL Server, Amazon EMR, Presto, Redshift, BigQuery, and so on."
"It most valuable feature is its ease of developing visualizations, not just charts and graphs."
"Compared to other products, visualization features are really good."
"The number one thing was just the ease of getting something up quickly. The other thing that was good about it was that it was fairly fast for decent-sized data sets in terms of performance and run time."
"The ability to deploy is the added ability to centralise the Tableau repository for all Tableau Developers."
"I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date."
"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."
"They could improve the update time."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
"The user interface is old."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"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."
"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"The licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"The solution should improve its graphics."
"I would like Tableau Prep to be integrated with Tableau Desktop. I would also like more customizations for tables."
"They need to improve the icons and the filters, because they look too old, resembling Excel from 1997."
"The only issue with the solution is with its prices at a regional level."
"There should be more GIS features, such as location analysis, which is quite limited. There are very few location-based functionalities."
"The ability to use it on MAC machines. As far as I know, this is not possible."
"When you create new fields in Tableau and you enter the formulas, there is a new small window that is there in the interface. You can enter the calculated fields, it could be more user-friendly. At this time it is limited and hard to understand at the beginning. The fields should be easier to use, such as in Microsoft Excel. You can have a difficult time understanding what to do in the fields, you end up doing trial and error to figure it out."
"The solution could use more features in data analytics."
"What is happening, with so many tools coming up in the market, is that people have to continuously get educated in order to use some of the more advanced features."
