Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."The solution is scalable."
"Unlike relational, where you're linking together multiple tables, with Essbase, you basically define what the dimensions are beforehand, and you define the hierarchy, and then load the data. This allows you to do a pretty sophisticated analysis so that you can drill into it and slice and dice the data."
"It helps us fetch specific data sets per users' requirements."
"The solution can handle a large volume of data."
"Essbase is extremely stable and low-maintenance."
"It is highly efficient and easily scalable, particularly for handling large databases."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"I have found the most valuable aspect is the user-friendly environment and current features."
"We have had an easy time supplying content to our customers."
"It automates recurring processes to save time and money."
"Some of the valuable areas of this solution include producing individual reports and closing the gap."
"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 UI 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."
"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 UI is very easy to use, with drag and drop self-service analytics."
"Qlik Sense is very stable. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. Even for rare issues, we receive good support from Qlik. It's a very stable solution."
"Qlik Sense makes it very easy to build interactive presentations for meetings."
"The initial setup is pretty complex."
"It's an expensive product to use."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"They should improve the solution's performance."
"I would like to see an integration with application performance management and a version control management tool."
"Essbase has a programming language, and it has a couple of functions to do forecasting, however, their feature set for that is not that good."
"The ability to drive external reporting out for development could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in terms of cost-effectiveness."
"There are some tools like Alteryx, which are used for data preparation. These features can be built into Qlik to make the process smoother."
"They need to make security rules to access applications and data security easier and customizable."
"The augmented intelligence features don't work well for the analytical user."
"The scripts available in the solution are not great."
"The SaaS offering is being enriched quickly in order to attract new customers to that space and encouraging existing customers to make the switch. The Enterprise solution is therefore lagging behind SaaS in features."
"Needs more bookmarking and a data load screen."
"More focus needs to be on data streaming/real-time data reporting."
"It would be nice to have more native features from QlikView built into Qlik Sense."
