Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Key features are its dashboard functionality and ease of integration with various data sources.""My understanding is that the initial setup is pretty easy.""I like that I can use Power BI to upload data. That is very important for me. The visualization is also convenient and easy to use.""One of the most valuable aspects of this tool is its ease of use and the ability to easily share information with others.""The scalability overall has been quite good.""The most valuable feature of Power BI is its ability to provide customized visualizations and insights tailored to specific business needs.""It's quite flexible, and it's easy to create reports using this system. It is very graphic and very user friendly.""Initial setup was very straightforward. Users can get up and running reporting on databases within minutes."

"QlikView is a scalable solution that multiple users can easily use.""It is a stable product.""A well designed app brings freedom of inquiry to meetings, allowing me to answer questions in real time and this has transformed progress and outputs of our monthly group meeting.""Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features.""You can do a lot of things on the back end which are not possible in the other solutions on the market.""The scalability is there.""The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools.""The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."

More QlikView Pros →

"In Data Lab, you can schedule any testing you want to do in production. You can take a small subset of data from production, copy it there, and run all your tests. It reduces your testing costs because it's all in the lab.""It has increased the speed of reporting."

Cons
"I would like to be able to use SQL properly within the reports and allow multiple people to work on the same report at the same time. If one person is working on it, then it causes issues for anyone else wanting to make reports.""The solution could be more customizable and you do not have too much freedom on the code.""Anything they can do to improve enterprise collaboration is going to help people get set up and utilize the solution.""The default parameters of the prompt could be improved by including a dynamic option.""I would like to see a change in the premium capacity.""The solution doesn't integrate well with third-party tools.""In an upcoming release, the solution could be simplified and have a more complete product package rather than a suite of products that we have to put together.""Microsoft Power BI can be confusing, because it has two languages that you need to learn if you want to use it, and this makes it more difficult for nontechnical users."

More Microsoft Power BI Cons →

"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect.""This solution would be improved with the inclusion of a feature that would allow us to add a common library of (our) commands used in load scripts and expressions, so with a keyword, we would get a drop down to select the command we are looking for, as opposed to the generic help.""Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker.""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.""If a user wanted to see something not included in the application the new object had to be created by a power user or developer because Qlik view's scripting has somewhat of a learning curve.""Better source data connectors.""Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial.""The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."

More QlikView Cons →

"​The initial setup was complex as we had to rewrite a lot of the code.​""​Their level of technical support is adequate. It could be better.​""If I want to implement an upgrade, I'd like to see how it will be different. Ideally, Data Lab should help me test production items and also do future things. Future releases should be downloadable and testable in Data Lab."
