Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Now, we have only one version of the truth."
"Instead of taking two people a week each month to perform our internal KPI reporting, the same two people can have it done in a day."
"It allows people to quickly create dashboards with reports."
"The support from the BOARD team and their consultants is great. Whenever I use technical support, they are good."
"The most valuable features are the reporting and the charts. The reporting functionality is handy for aggregation, when it comes to planning. That ability is fascinating and our users are very happy with it. The charts and the reporting allow our users to see all the data and to see how things are going this year or in the COVID situation. They're seeing everything. Instead of having to check data line by line, they're seeing it in a graph and they're seeing it in charts."
"The tool seems to have a lot of ways to handle scaling."
"The benefits are getting the data in one spot, the ability to report dynamically, and version control."
"The reporting part has been very valuable as the capabilities of the tool do not have to change graphs, change how grids are displayed, and can create reports on the fly."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations."
"You can switch views easily."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"It excels in supporting database connections and various database types."
"It enables us to configure various elements, such as dashboard settings, including factors like color schemes and other customization parameters."
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
"We have had some challenges with newer version of the rollout in terms of stability."
"It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. It should be a little more intuitive."
"It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use."
"We can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model."
"I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD."
"The engine of the Board should be made powerful like the engine of IBM planning which is more powerful in terms of performance. The consolidated finance area also needs improvement."
"It would be nice to have more connectors for other data sources. BOARD is a great tool to become the single source of the truth. Making it easier to connect data sources for niche software tools will make it easier to keep everything in one place."
"The one thing that I think we would like to see in terms of improvement of the application is the ability to print. It's fantastic to have all of these graphic visualization of data, but we're not able to very easily just print... From my perspective, if you can have a little "print" button and then you just click it and it would produce what's on the screen, that would be very helpful."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"Though the initial setup phase is simple, when it comes to the integration with the custom systems, the configuration and the compatibility sometimes take some more time."
"It would be nice if QlikView could be plugged in into the company's website or an online portal such as QlikSense is capable of. There are ways around but it takes enormous time to develop."
"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."
"I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields."
"The pricing is high."
"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."
"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
