Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"The language support is very good."
"The scalability is there."
"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"Our Qlikview applications help us to get a good idea of our Client Base Performance and assist us in the decision making for Seasonal Specials. On the other hand QlikView helps us to get a grasp on our Suppliers and helps us to negotiate pricing with them."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
"I have found that the feature to drag and drop widgets based on the data source, and import them into stories to be valuable. This way it helps the end user to create stories themselves."
"It is easy to integrate with SAP ERP and BW systems, allowing smooth data transfer and live connections without much development."
"Its user-friendliness is valuable. It is a product for end-users and not for IT, which is an advantage."
"The most valuable features are the visualization and user-friendliness."
"Data integration is very good."
"Planning is the most valuable feature of the product because it's integrated and that means we don't need to rely on an independent planning environment."
"We mainly use Analytics Cloud because it integrates with other SAP solutions. Our ERP is an SAP product, and our back-end is SAP Business Warehouse, so integration is an essential factor."
"In the data warehouse, you're free to make changes. You can make everything text, meaning it's always a string. Even numbers appear as text, giving you the flexibility to work with all columns."
"The solution is quite costly."
"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."
"Needs improvement with UI transparency."
"For me, it is important to have a mix, what is the "view" and what is the "sense", Qlik Sense. They have two tools, but for me it is important to have only one tool, which combines the functions that we have from one side and the other side."
"It is really old. We are moving towards converting everything into a Power BI environment. We want to have a self-service type of BI environment where different levels of users in organizations can log onto a portal and retrieve the data they need or get the necessary insights for decision-making that's important for them or their business unit. They have built a new version of QlikView called QlikSense, which probably competes with newer BI tools, such as Power BI, but they are far behind. That's why we are moving towards a newer tool that's easier to use and has more visualizations to represent the data."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
"They could improve the update time."
"Figuring out how to navigate all of the products around Data Warehouse Cloud and SAP Analytics Cloud and BW for HANA is quite difficult."
"Improvements are coming quarterly whereas previously it was on a monthly basis."
"The solution should include other scripting languages as well, such as Python."
"SAP Analytics Cloud should improve the dashboard."
"However, there are areas of improvement, particularly in terms of visualization. The front-end interface of SAP Analytics Cloud is not as impressive as Tableau and Power BI. The charts in other solutions have a more visually appealing and customizable look, while in SAP Analytics Cloud, there's a lack of alignment between numbers and charts. This graphical aspect, especially concerning charts, is not as satisfactory in SAP Analytics Cloud compared to its counterparts."
"There is no direct connector from SAP to Redshift, so we are required to use a third-party product that was recommended by SAP."
"SAP Analytics Cloud requires a lot of coding and I would like the coding to be somewhat minimal."
"I would also like to have more advanced features for predictive analytics."
