We performed a comparison between QlikView, Tableau, and Teradata Data Lab based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in Reporting."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."
"The solution is fast."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."
"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."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"The language support is very good."
"Easy to analyze data by click-through."
"All features are valuable. It is very user-friendly, and it is mostly drag-and-drop. If we have the dataset available, then we can develop any dashboard very quickly."
"Scheduled extract and the multiple connectors are fantastic!"
"The data visualization piece is most valuable. We do ad-hoc analysis or one-time shot things, but there are things that we have to track every single day. When our management and our customers want to see how things are changing, the dashboarding provides that information. Tableau is key in providing that data on a refresh basis. We use a data blending tool that pumps the data into Tableau, and we just schedule it to run every single day. So, the automation of the data and being able to present it to people who are interested are the most valuable features."
"It is easy to adapt visualizers to have interactive conversations among decision-makers."
"Tableau has improved my organization in a variety of ways, one of its uses being that of data analysis. A feature I have found most valuable is the ease of use and straightforwardness, in addition to the flexibility of Tableau."
"The solution makes for very productive and really informative decision making. It can lead the whole business and build a strategy across whole working departments."
"Tableau is easy to use compared to some other solutions, such as Excel."
"The most valuable feature is the user experience."
"It has increased the speed of reporting."
"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."
"They should offer the capability to directly access data from SaaS environments, as it would simplify the migration process, and while it may seem like a minor enhancement, it would be beneficial to our clients."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
"They could improve the update time."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."
"Scalability really depends on the size of your data and QlikView server architecture. For the biggest data sets, it could become an issue at some point."
"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."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"There should be stronger data modules for the platform."
"In the next release, there should be more information describing each chart because users have a difficult time telling them apart. They should also include the animations/videos, similar to Power BI."
"Whenever it comes to specialized visualization, Tableau is an absolute failure."
"I have noticed that Tableau is not very compatible with ClickHouse. There's no direct connection to ClickHouse; you have to set up an ODBC connection."
"The data processing in Tableau is pathetic compared to Qlik."
"An advanced type of visualization is a bit tricky to create. It has something called a Calculated field, and that sometimes gets a bit difficult to use when you want to create an advanced type of visualization."
"The setup was easy but we are having some problems with the configuration that is taking a long time. We have done some initial tests and some of the delays could be from bandwidth issues. However, the whole installation process should be simplified."
"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."
"The initial setup was complex as we had to rewrite a lot of the code."
