We performed a comparison between Qlik Sense and SAS Visual Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Takes the super features of QlikView ETL capabilities to a whole new level with its new drag and drop feature, and extension capabilities derived from the robust Qlik API."
"It connects very simply to data sources."
"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."
"Qlik Sense is essentially a web-based tool even though it's on-prem – you're working off an HTML page – so it's pretty quick. Your processing speed does not matter because you're using a lot of stuff through the web. That's great because it brings down the cost in regards to hardware."
"The reports are better looking than in QlikView."
"The changes in a dashboard are very easy."
"The data is incredibly easy to share with colleagues."
"Qlik Sense helps us increase our organization's customer relationships and brings in more projects."
"The technical support services are good."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"The most solution's notable aspect, in my view, is the ability to integrate various data sources and harness advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. This helps with quality assurance processes."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"I would like to see more native features from QlikView integrated into Qlik Sense."
"It would be nice to have more native features from QlikView built into Qlik Sense."
"The next version should include more standard integrations."
"Data modelling automation needs improvement."
"The reporting solution recently added to the latest Cloud version, since December or January, is not fully developed. The ability to use tabular reporting, like in dashboards, would be a great feature."
"The QMC needs more work. Some of the features should be available directly from the hub. Too many duplicates/publish. Intelli-sense when loading a stored qvd would help so much with remembering column names. The pop-up windows are too small when working in the QMC."
"There is a direction currently with feature releases within QLik Sense which are focused towards the SaaS or Cloud offerings of Qlik Sense. This leaves those who have invested heavily in on-premise enterprise deployments in a difficult position to gain the benefits of some powerful new features they have to look to reinvest further towards these SaaS or Cloud deployments or bring in a hybrid model. Qlik provides no real split between what features are available in each of the deployment options."
"Advanced graphs or visualizations must be in the built-in product, instead of building with open API extensions or mashups."
"It is not as mature as competitors such as Tableau and QlikView."
"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."
"Colours used on report objects"
"The deployment isn't smooth. Deploying Visual Analytics on the cloud takes a lot of work, or you can use some providers that give you SAS as a service. For example, there is a provider called SaasNow. They host SAS Visual Analytics and the license. You can buy the license and deploy it there without the hassle of installation because deploying the software isn't easy."
"Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help."
"There are scalability issues. It depends on the data volume and number of end-users. VA requires a lot of hardware resources to move volumes of data."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"The licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
