Q&A Highlights
Question: Which BI tool has the best reporting capabilities?
Answer: What do you want for reporting reasons must be the starting point? And if you wish to have data analytics tools, BI Solutions have a variety of different analytics options available. You must now think about your data sources, which should be accurate and clean. Do you need to prepare or transform your data, or not? You now need to consider your finances and compare both subscription-based and free open source business intelligence. The market is filled with BI systems, and while many of their primary features are comparable, there are differences in each one's cost and level of capability. Some solutions start out inexpensively, but if you require more functionality, you must pay more or even purchase a third-party product. Some solutions appear to be more expensive, yet they come with all the tools you might not need going forward. Finally, whichever option you select will require some time commitment because your core company is unrelated to IT and you require tools for data analytics. In any case, I use Sisense, but you can start with any solution and compare the characteristics of each to see which is easier.
Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has the best GUI. And it already has an ETL tool embedded in it...""The dashboard is the most valuable feature and allows for customization to create and share reports.""In Workbench 5, they have come up with a very useful feature called Upsert. When you're pushing data into the data set, if the data is already available it will update the data, and if that the data is not there it will insert it. That is a beneficial feature that they introduced in the latest version.""I mostly see it as an ETL which has many system connectors. It does a good job of ETL.""All our client SLAs and daily and weekly dashboards are tracked on Domo.""This solution allows us to change our performance metrics and tracks our goals in real-time.""One feature which I have found to be very interesting is the Beast manager, where you can create calculated fields. They are shared in one common repository so someone else can use the same calculated fields; they don't have to rewrite or reinvent the APIs.""The ETL tools they have in Redshift are pretty awesome... I can work in Redshift to get the data from AWS and work in Redshift, in Domo, to create Transforms and the data structure we need..."

More Domo Pros →

"It is simple to develop, which is good.""The GeoAnalytics paints such a clear picture. It provides a visual of our patient volume, giving us opportunities to see how we are trending in the surrounding cities, and making us more aware of locations that we need to focus more on.""The visualizations are good and keep improving.""Allowing the users to be able to take snapshots and create their own story without ever leaving the application is a very good feature.""On the fly questions can be answered with the "Qlik" of a button and drive forward discussions about policy, mission, and goals.""The data is incredibly easy to share with colleagues.""Qlik Sense helps us increase our organization's customer relationships and brings in more projects.""Qlik Sense has given us visibility into our data to make informed decisions."

More Qlik Sense Pros →

Cons
"I would like to publish a dashboard for the employees so that they can also see the performance of our organization. But that is not a feature in Domo, although it's something that Zoho provided.""I would also like to see improvements to their drag and drop Magic ETL tool. You can drag and drop your ETL tool, but it doesn't really work for a large amount of data. It struggles with that. In a real-world application, where you're working with 30 million rows or 100 million rows, it takes a bit longer to process the data. If you do it in the Redshift ETL tool, using your own code, it's much faster.""The ETL way of storing is not up to mark. You have to rely on the naming convention that you're using in Domo because there are no folder systems where you can collate all your workflows and put them into separate folders. A folder system should be there so you can easily identify how you are working. Once you want to make some changes to your ETL, then you can see the whole lineage, identifying what is there and not there.""I would like to be able to drill down more when there is a particular area where there is a problem. I don't clearly see that in Domo at the moment.""It is very difficult too, if we do have specific requests or errors that we can't get figure out - especially when it comes to the development platform, developing custom connectors or doing any kind of API work, custom cards - in that there's a lag in the response time.""Their organization or client service didn't always keep up... They took on more and more clients and the processes slowed down a little bit.""If your ETL runs more than 24 hours, it always fails because we are logging a lot of historical data, and there is a restriction on the amount of data (in rows) that you can run. The technical support has not found a solution for this yet.""Domo or any other BI tool has room for improvement, in particular, in the calculations. User-guided material isn't available for calculations. The tool, though user-friendly, could also be more customizable, especially when you're building a dashboard. Data integration could also be improved in Domo because even if the tool connects to multiple data sources, some hiccups still arise and need to be addressed."

More Domo Cons →

"Currently, we are not very happy with the iPad or iPhone app because it is not working as we want.""It would be nice to have more native features from QlikView built into Qlik Sense.""We have faced some issues with NPrinting, so I feel there is some improvement needed such that it would allow the use of variables and calculative fields from Qlik.""They need to make security rules to access applications and data security easier and customizable.""It needs continued improvement on its visualizations and content customization.""The augmented intelligence features don't work well for the analytical user.""The management console appearance needs improvement to its look.""Mostly when it comes to the loading of the data and reload times of the reports, it could be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I believe that the investment in Domo was worthwhile because it allowed for the organization to jump in quickly, with little training. There are different plans available based on the requirements."
  • "They've built an "app economy." Some of them are really expensive, so they're not for startups and smaller companies. They're more like enterprise tools. We couldn't afford some of them, because they were so crazy expensive. But if I was working for a bank, insurance company, or some bigger corporation then, for sure, you could justify those prices... It was silly expensive back then and it probably still is, or even more expensive."
  • "We are making money from Domo, and all our clients are happy with the information that they receive from it."
  • "It is on the pricier end."
  • "Domo is slightly costly but it's much cheaper than some."
  • "I'm not sure about pricing, but I believe Domo is quite costly. Prior to joining this organization, I had a Domo license with my former employer and I think that license was around $500 to $600 annually. That was for a single license. I think it varies, depending on the organization that is acquiring Domo."
  • "For about 100 users our cost is $95,800."
  • "Because it's software as a service, it's more expensive on the face of it. But there are a lot of variables. I don't have to pay for servers or for infrastructure. I don't have to pay labor for my IT organization to set up or maintain the environment. I don't have to pay for them to upgrade the software, and test it, etc., because when it rolls out, it is transparent and seamless for us. But, because of that, it costs more, I imagine, than Sisense, or Yellowfin, or Power BI. A lot of those make it sound like they're inexpensive, but when you add in all the hidden costs and all of the overhead, it's probably comparable."
  • More Domo Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The solution is worth it."
  • "Understand the break over price point for switching to the Enterprise license."
  • "Licensing could be cheaper."
  • "Licensing: Review the named model and move towards a usage model (e.g., cores, memory, computers, API calls, etc.)."
  • "The cost is not bad considering the flexibility and support you receive from Qlik. I believe it is worth the cost."
  • "Start small with tokens. You can always buy more."
  • "Currently, our ROI is clear and concise decision-making. This timely addition will easily add $15 million to our bottom line in 2017."
  • "You will spend more time on educating your staff than licensing the product."

    Hi Dawn,


    I'm happy to help you with your search for a BI solution.


    Qlik Sense is a powerful BI platform that offers a wide range of features, including near real-time operational reporting, ad-hoc reporting, analytics, and insights. It is a good choice for businesses that need to make data-driven decisions.


    However, it is true that Qlik Sense does not come with a built-in reporting and deployment suite. You will need to add on a third-party product such as Mail & Deploy if you want to create and deploy reports.


    Domo, Tableau, and Orbit Analytics are also popular BI platforms that offer reporting capabilities. However, they each have their own strengths and weaknesses.


    Domo is known for its ease of use and its ability to connect to a wide range of data sources. However, it can be expensive and it does not offer as many advanced analytics features as some of the other BI platforms.


    Tableau is known for its data visualization capabilities. It offers a wide range of pre-built visualizations and templates, making it easy to create professional-looking reports. However, it can be difficult to use for complex data analysis.


    Orbit Analytics is a cloud-based BI platform that offers a good balance of features and pricing. It is easy to use and it offers a wide range of data connectors. However, it does not have as many advanced analytics features as some of the other BI platforms.


    The best BI platform for you will depend on your specific needs and requirements. If you are looking for a platform that offers near real-time operational reporting, ad-hoc reporting, analytics, and insights, then Qlik Sense is a good choice. However, if you need a platform with a built-in reporting and deployment suite, then you may want to consider Domo, Tableau, or Orbit Analytics.


    Here are some additional things to consider when choosing a BI platform:



    • The size of your organization: If you have a small or medium-sized organization, then a cloud-based BI platform may be a good choice. Cloud-based platforms are typically more affordable and easier to manage than on-premises platforms.

    • The level of technical expertise of your users: If your users are not very technical, then you will want to choose a BI platform that is easy to use.

    • The type of data you need to analyze: Some BI platforms are better suited for certain types of data than others. For example, Qlik Sense is a good choice for analyzing complex data sets.

    • Your budget: BI platforms can range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars per year.

    I  think you should first decide which budget you can allocate for it.
    You can find "free' tools like Google Looker Studio, which have limited reporting and email capabilities. 
    I assume other cloud vendors have similar "free" tools.
    Other reporting tools can cost from 10's $ per user per month to 100K$ for a year and more.
    There is also an open-source tool named Superset

    Reviews from Real Users

    Qlik Sense stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its associative analytics technology and its remote access capability. Qlik Sense employs an associative analytics engine that gives users the ability to take their data analytics to the next level. Users can create visual connections between different datasets spread across their network, creating deep insights that enable users to gain a full understanding of their data. This engine is easily scaled up to allow a large number of users to benefit from the deep insights that it provides. Users can access Qlik Sense from anywhere in the world. Qlik Sense has an online portal that can be used consistently from anywhere at all. Having the ability to remotely analyze data gives users flexibility when it comes to choosing how to deploy their manpower.

    Jarno L., the managing director of B2IT, writes, “The associative technology features are the solution's most valuable aspects. Qlik was the first company to implement an in-memory associative analytics engine. This basically means that all data is loaded into memory, but it also means that instead of joining data together, the data is associated together. From the front end, from the user interface point of view, data can be joined or included or excluded on the fly. It can be drilled down and drilled through and users can slice and dice it and that type of thing can be done from anywhere in the data to any other place in the data. It doesn't have to be predefined. It doesn't have to have hierarchies or anything like that.”

    Tami S., the senior business intelligence analyst at the La Jolla Group, writes, “With the changing business landscape, it is nice to access Qlik Sense through an external website. As an organization when we use QlikView Desktop, we need to connect to our internal network. We can access QlikView through the QlikView access point but the website has a little different look and feel than the desktop application. We appreciate that Qlik Sense is browser-based and the user experience is the same whether at home, in the office or on a boat. As long as the user has internet access, performance is the same.”
