"It's pretty easy to deploy."
"E-T-L, The Extract, Transform, and Loading capabilities of QlikView make it a highly sophisticated self-service business intelligence tool for developers and analysts."
"You can switch views easily."
"One of the good thing is that you can integrate different data source technologies. So you can model your environment without having any of our views running."
"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."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"The platform uses a lot of Java technologies so the performance and system-level management are tricky because it needs a lot of resources."
"I like the fact that we can integrate it seamlessly within our Epic environment, but probably the best thing that Crystal Reports offers is the ability to do visualizations. They're simple to do, and they're catchy. So, it is a really great tool."
"The setup is pretty easy. It's not hard at all."
"We use it to identify critical KPIs to senior management."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that we are able to build all dashboards with self-service BI and are able to provide our business users with self-service BI. We are building a repository on top of our data warehouse and building all the dashboards and KPIs."

"Tableau has comprehensive, insightful charts, which allow you to build stunning dashboards and enrich your support decision-making."
"The most valuable feature is the richness of its visualization and from a self-service standpoint, the ease of use."
"It's the ease of use. It is also a self-service tool so it decreases the burden on having centralized IT-type teams or developers."
"The most valuable feature is that we can integrate with our own database, and it will displays the KPIs. This is highly required from the business side."
"Its performance is pretty good, and the development time is very low."
"The initial setup is quick and easy and you don't need special outside assistance to set everything up."
"I really like the interactivity of the dashboards."
"Tableau's most valuable features are user-friendliness and have a connection between multiple source systems. You can publish a report by using Tableau Public and there you can make your data online, not only batches of data, you can use it as an online analytical tool."
"The tool is expensive in Turkey."
"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."
"It needs work with visualization."
"The user interface is old."
"They could improve the update time."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"This solution is complex to configure and administer."
"They could reduce the licensing expenses. There is nothing really wrong with the product in terms of what it does. It works well. If you are a part of BI Launch Pad, then you could run ad hoc reporting, but for the integration, you need access to BI Launch Pad, which is quite expensive. We're an organization with 18,000 employees. It is not really practical to give people access to BI Launch Pad. So, from a customer perspective, in terms of saturating our employee base, we don't really have great saturation because of the expense."
"There is still a lot to be done on the mobile side to make Web Intelligence truly seamless between the desktop and mobile versions and I would like to see SAP pay a lot more attention to this."
"I don't like the fact that I have to use two tools. Web Intelligence is good for reporting and all kinds of stuff, but I would rather have one product. All the reporting features of Web Intelligence should be developed within Lumira. A lot of predictive abilities have been brought into the cloud version of SAP Analytics. It would be nice to see a lot of newer technologies and AI. Predictive capabilities are becoming a little more standard. Instead of having to get another model, we are just looking for one solution to deal with analytics including predictive."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"The solution can improve by having more analytical features."
"I would like to see their data visualization products enhanced and made more robust and easier to implement."
"It is limited for us because SAP is shifting toward the cloud, and we can't use a cloud solution for SAP BusinessObjects. SAP introduced a product called PlusTimes one or two years ago and another one that I believe was called Automatic BI. This tool is more powerful than BusinessObjects and other tools because it's provided in the cloud."

"Implementation requires a technical background."
"The only issue with the solution is with its prices at a regional level."
"In the next release, I would like to be able to have the option to see more raw data that I'm converting on the dashboard."
"It would be nice if we could export more raw data. Currently, there is a limit as to how much data you can export."
"Lacks machine learning algorithms that you can implement using R, SPSS Modeler, and Python."
"An area needing improvement involves the complexity of the product should you need to alter a lot of parameters. If you have technical servers, much interface, different providers and more serious processes, that will be time consuming."
"I take a long time to process the hundreds of thousands or millions of records that must be processed every day."
"When you're working on a dashboard, you can't select multiple components at a time and align them, so you have to go one by one. This is very cumbersome."
