Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
Having a tool where you can find logs that were generated months ago, and being able to search over a long period of time, is great. The automatic update of the graphs from a dashboard is very convenient. | This tool not only allows for consumption of the data in a visual way, but also allows the user to modify the question to get new answers. The most valuable features are the mobility and web integration. The UI is very easy to use, with drag and drop self-service analytics. All the necessary information is available to everyone in real time. The drag and drop UI has been the most useful to me. The drag-and-drop dashboard builder is an intuitive interface for building dashboards from source reports. This solution has improved our organization by making our analysis results available to customers. We can generate various graphs, various reports and we can mainly use it for dashboard related things. We can create a dashboard with live data and we can make decisions based on this information, |
Cons | |
Having a kind of wizard that would help you when you are typing your search would make it easier and quicker to refine your search, and ultimately find what you are looking for. This solution should allow the user to combine two indices into one graph. | The product could be improved by implementing a user-feedback ranking system. I would like to have support for table formats without having to use an extension. Advanced graphs or visualizations must be in the built-in product, instead of building with open API extensions or mashups. The next version should include more standard integrations. The only thing I would say that comes up is that sometimes it can be a bit buggy. This solution would be improved by adding some Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL) components that are easier to interpret and design. A valuable improvement for this solution would be the enabling of us to host dashboards for our customers. I would like for it to be more of a plug and play with all of the tools and sources. It would make it much easier to use. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Information Not Available | QlikSense offers a Hybrid environment architecture, which is very cost effective based on where the enterprise data resides. Licensing can start to get expensive, but compared to other tools in this space it is about average. Licensing is quite good, easy, but slightly expensive. Costs are a little high on the license/token side. However, if you look at the TCO, it is not too bad, particularly against Power BI. Know your needs when going into the purchasing decision. The costs can initially become quite high. Make sure you have a clear understanding of who will truly use the product as opposed to someone that will simply receive the end report. The new licensing model is much better. Qlik Sense pricing and licensing is like that of QlikView. It's on the high side for a small company, but it’s competitive among its peers. Use of licenses (referred to as tokens) is a bit confusing. There is a login access pass for infrequent or anonymous access. |
